If you've developed a computer program or a project with the aid of software tools you should know about the archiving problem of the work files. What's the problem? The problem is that the project directory has so much absolutely useless files. There are executable, compiled, object files, temporary files created by code editors etc. Such files are compressed so bad and take so much place in the archive files. The WinArcHelper is the simple utility that manages your favorite archiver and solve such the problem. You simply select the directory and WinArcHelper scans and gathers all unique extensions to create a rule for this directory. Rule is the list of file masks created from extensions. You can see this rule and choose appropriate file masks to exclude or include files with the extensions you need. Usually they are temporary files. For Delphi programmers there are *.dcu, *.exe, *.dll, *.~* etc. The most important moment is that you can see what extensions are inside the directory. Exclusion of temporary files significantly reduces the size of archive files. WinArcHelper can place all archive files of the day in a separate folder specially created by it. WinArcHelper can generate the batch file to create all archives that you need by the one command. Key Features - archiving the directory list by the one command - using a separate rule for each directory - reusing rules - fast and convenient rule wizard - automatic creation of rules on the basis of all unique extensions of the specified directory - generating batch files - 'exclude' and 'include' file masks of rule - 'active' and 'passive' file masks of the rule - placing archive files to separate folders every day (optionally) - automatic settings for WinZip and WinRar archivers - possibility to work with any archiver that has a command line support
