Compress folder and files to 7z format. Some options are available. The 7za used command store filesystem permissions (such as UNIX owner/group permissions or NTFS ACLs). Not designed for large backup/archival purposes. On Ubuntu, use 'sudo apt-get install p7zip-full' to install required command.

# 7z-folder v1.6
#### Last update 2021-04-26
##### Adding [Go Modules support](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#modules), which will be [mandatory with the usage of go v1.17](https://blog.golang.org/go116-module-changes).
> We plan to drop support for GOPATH mode in Go 1.17. In other words, Go 1.17 will ignore `GO111MODULE`. If you have projects that do not build in module-aware mode, now is the time to migrate. If there is a problem preventing you from migrating, please consider filing an [issue](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new) or an [experience report](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/ExperienceReports).

##### This program is designed for . . .
Compressing folder and files to 7z format. Some options are available. The 7za used command store filesystem permissions (such as UNIX owner/group permissions or NTFS ACLs). Not designed for large backup/archival purposes. On Ubuntu, use 'sudo apt-get install p7zip-full' to install required command.
###### What for:
Quick backup of the local repository in case of problem with the new modifications (for example).
---
###### Requirements:
- **p7zip-full** is required to work.
```bash
$ # On Ubuntu, use:
$ sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
```
---
- If you just want **to use it**, simply **download** the **compiled version** ( .deb) under the [Releases](https://github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder/releases) tab.
- Otherwise, if you plan to play inside the source code, see below **How to compile** section.
- All suggestions, contributions and ideas to improve software usability will be greatly appreciated.
**7z-folder** Debian package installation:
> ```bash
> $ sudo dpkg -i 7z-folder-1.6-amd64.deb
> ```
>
> Uninstall:
>
> ```bash
> $ sudo dpkg -P 7z-folder
> ```

### How it's made
- Programmed with go language: [golang](https://golang.org/doc/)
- GUI provided by [Gotk3](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3), GUI library for Go (minimum required gtk3.16).
- I use home-made software: "Gotk3ObjHandler" to embed images/icons, UI-information and manage/generate gtk3 objects code from [glade ui designer](https://glade.gnome.org/). and "Gotk3ObjTranslate" to generate the language files and the assignment of a tool-tip on the gtk3 objects (both are not published at the moment, in fact, they need documentations and, I have not had the time to do them).
### Functionalities
- Auto increment filename [00], [01], [02]...
- Parametrable compression lvl and dictionary size.
- Append, Upate, New archive options.
- D&D capable.
### Some pictures
### How to compile
1. Be sure you have [Golang version >= 1.16](https://golang.org/dl/) installed in right way, [Go installation](https://golang.org/doc/install).
2. Getting source from repository:
1. **git preferred method (the most close to $GOPATH old usage):**
```bash
$ cd "your-local-workspace"
$ git clone "https://github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder" "7z-folder"
$ cd 7z-folder
$ go build . && ./7z-folder
```
2. **golang method (this one put retrieved package to $GOPATH/pkg/pkgName):**
```bash
$ go get -d "github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder"
$ cd ${GOPATH}/pkg/mod/github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder*
$ go build . && ./7z-folder
```
##### If you have gomodules enabled, all of the following step will be done automatically you can skip it.
- Install [Go bindings for GTK3](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3) and follow [Installation instructions](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3/wiki#installation).

### Playing with code
- **Since** [Golang version >= 1.16](https://golang.org/dl/), native `embed` library is used instead of previous one and the following restriction (striked) is out of date. ~~To change gtk3 interface you need to set `devMode` flag at `true`.~~ A home made software, (not published actually) have been used to generate some parts of source code / assets embedding. ~~So, you cannot (at this time) change interface for production mode.~~
- To change language file quickly, you need to use another home made software, (not published actually). You can still do it manually, all data has been stored in a '.json' file in the `assets/lang` directory.
- To Produce a *stand-alone executable*, you must change inside `main.go` file:
```go
func main() {
devMode = true
...
```
into
```go
func main() {
devMode = false
...
```
This operation indicates that the internal behavior of the software will be modified to adapt to the production environment (display of errors, location of the configuration file, etc.).
