The shp2zipwin from jwilson8767

shp2zipwin's Introduction

SHP2ZIP Win

This utility adds a context menu item for '.shp' files in Windows Explorer that uses 7-zip to zip the '.shp' along with all the associated files (such as dbf, shx, dbf, ...).

Installation

First, make sure you have installed 7-zip.

Then download the release and run install.bat by double clicking it. A reboot may be necessary for the option to become available when you right-click '.shp' files.

Removal

Just run uninstall.bat at any time to remove the option from your right click menu.

shp2zipwin's Issues

Possible improvements

Hi,

I have identified potential issues in install.bat:

the command assumes Powershell's execution policy has been already set to allow script files
[default=false] means optional parameter that if missing is considered to be false
the script does not create %appdata%\\ShellExtensions which is not there by default
the command should contain the full path to "%appdata%\\ShellExtensions\shp2zip.ps1"
