qCompress

[U7Development]

Hi!..

how can I use qCompress to compress multiple files and directories?

i currently have this:

./content.dat (which is a html document)
./images/0.jpg
./images/1.jpg

i'm looking for compressing these 3 files keeping their directory hierarchy.

I could use a non orthodox way using system terminal tar or gzip, but qCompress seems to be more ellegant..

thanks in advance.

qCompress does not support this nor does gzip. If you want to create an archive you have to use other libraries.

Hi,

I think you should consider the use of KDE's KArchive for that task.

i disagree, but if you really want i would go this way:
use QDataStream to create a QByteArray which contains a QString (path) and another QByteArray (filedata) (for each file). The final bytearray can be compressed.
Use the same way to uncrompress.
