Last week we developed a small macro which is of general interest to ECMerge users: if you’d like to update files inside ZIPs, ECMerge can now help you with this task.
ECMerge extensive scripting can indeed check if your folder merge is ‘unzipped’ and call the Zip application to update the original Zip file which expanded for the merge or comparison. You will need 7 Zip or WinRAR currently configured in the converters options of ECMerge (ECMerge should find them by itself when they are installed). WinZip command line should be possible (ask us if you’d like it).
Basically, it allows you to merge the content of Zip files but as well Docx, Pptx, Xslx (OOXML files)… not fully integrated but functional.
Here is the link in our site: http://www.soft.elliecomputing.com/soft/ecmerge/macros/update-folder.zip. Unzip the files in your user macro directory (open it with Customize/Macro/Open macro folder of/User) and press Alt-F11 or re-run ECMerge.
Have a nice week,
Armel
NB: there was a fix to the macro for Mac OS X on Januray 1st, 2012 and it was as well tested on Mac and Linux with p7zip.
