I'm usually one of those, but seen as you asked... It looks good :) I
haven't had chance to try it yet, but a simple tool like this could be
really useful. I don't have the same reservations as Andrei about the
amount of code/how it's done... If it does its job it's good enough for
me :)
One thing I would like to know, are there plans for file formats other
than .zip? You can generally get files less than half the size with
faster compression/decompression times using other formats... would
adding support for them (.tar.xz, .tar.gz) be too much extra hassle?
It would only involve building support for those formats into phobos :)
I actually had the same thought after I saw Walter's suggestion for a
std.archive. If I have time, I'd like to make it happen.
Wait, what's tar.xz?
