Windows 7 Add to archive "FileName.xpi"

[Yaron]

I use WinRar.

In Options > Settings > Integration > User defined archive extensions, I've associated XPI and JA files with the program.


I would like to add the following entries to Windows Explorer's context menu:

1) Add to archive "FileName.xpi"
2) Add to archive "FileName.ja"


I'd like the entries to appear below the default "Add to archive 'FileName.zip'", and also the compression format to be in my zip settings.

If you know of another Archiver with which I could achieve that, please let me know.


(Win 7, 32 bit).

Thank you.

To add custom entries to the Windows Explorer context menu for specific file types with WinRAR or another archiver that allows customization, you can use the following steps:

Adding Custom Entries with WinRAR:​

1. Open WinRAR:
   • Go to Options > Settings.
   []Integration Settings:
   • Navigate to Integration > Context menu items.
   []Adding Custom Entries:
   • Enter the following commands for XPI and JA files:
     • For XPI files: Add to archive "FileName.xpi".
     • For JA files: Add to archive "FileName.ja".
   []Ordering Entries:
   • To place these entries below the default "Add to archive 'FileName.zip'", you may need to customize the order within WinRAR's context menu settings.
   []Compression Format:
   • Ensure that the custom entries use your preferred compression format as set in WinRAR's general compression settings.

     Using Another Archiver:​

     If you're looking for an alternative archiver that provides similar customization options, you might consider 7-Zip. Here's how you can achieve similar functionality with 7-Zip:
   []Download 7-Zip:
   • Install 7-Zip on your system.
   []Custom Context Menu Entries:
   • Using the 7-Zip application, you can customize the context menu entries for specific file types.
   • You can assign custom actions for XPI and JA files like "Add to archive 'FileName.xpi'" and "Add to archive 'FileName.ja'".
2. Ordering and Compression Format:
   • 7-Zip also allows you to set the order of context menu items.
   • Ensure that the compression format aligns with your preferences in the 7-Zip settings.

     Note for WinRAR:​

     In WinRAR, placing custom entries exactly below the default entries in the context menu might be a bit limited due to the software's settings. You can try rearranging the items within WinRAR to achieve the desired order, but it may not guarantee the exact placement relative to the default entries. Feel free to follow these steps with WinRAR or consider 7-Zip as an alternative for achieving customized context menu entries for your XPI and JA files on Windows 7 32-bit.
