zipdll progress bar?!

vrejfus · 23rd June 2004, 22:30

It feels strange that this obvious feature (see subj) isnt implemented in zipdll plugin! I'm downloading 300mb archive (yes, this installer is for lan only :-)) using nsisdl and it looks great, and then i'm trying to extract it (its extracting to 1gb, so its quite long process) using zipdll. My PC freezes, but the worst that i cant see how much already extracted, so i simply look like a dumb at this "extract: ..." label. :< Any practical workarounds availalble?

Thanks!

You can contact the author of ZipDLL and ask him to add this feature or just write a new ZipDLL plug-in which uses code that isn't GPL and supports a progress bar like NSISdl does.
