7zip Scenic

Building on the fantastic library SevenZipSharp by Markhor and utilizing the excellent zip program 7zip, I introduce 7zip for Windows 7.

Now 7zip can run beside programs like Windows Live Mail and Windows Explorer and look like a native application.

While this is still a working beta, it should be usable for your daily needs. Some features are not finished and some are still in testing but it'll zip / unzip your files just fine.

Some things that are still on the to do list include:

• Creating self extracting zip files
• Right-click menu for 7zip in Windows Explorer's context menu.

NOTE!!! .net 4 Framework MUST be installed in order for the application to run. Please go here [link] if you need to install it.

Since it uses the .NET 4 Framework it will connect to Dropbox to download a ~18MB file.

I will look at this

It's a little slower than 7-zip's default GUI, but I love the new compression icons.

What do you think?

Since posting, the latest update (April 2011) makes this works much more better without needing to make it the default.

Cool, I like its ribbon interface.
