Convert the attached ADF View shell extension to work with the ZIPmagic Plug-In format, instead of just ADF files. You will be running a set of command line programs to list, extract, compress, and perform other tasks on compressed archives. This will be replacing all current code in the ADF View shell extension which directly reads from and writes to ADF files. You will be adding some dynamically defined custom options to the shell extension, to implement actions that are currently missing in the current ADF View shell extension; such as: 1) Converting an archive type from one to another 2) Installing a program contained inside an archive 3) Manually installing a program contained inside an archive (if no setup included) 4) Checking an archive for viruses 5) Executing any number of custom ZIPmagic Plug-In defined tools on the archive, such as: a) Delete files from archive b) Test archive (extract to memory) c) Make archive into a self-extracting EXE For all of the actions above, you will again be only running a set of pre-defined command line programs to get the actual job done. The actual work of compressing, extracting, testing, deleting, listing, etc. is all already implemented by the ZIPmagic Plug-In for the archive type. You will simply have to read the Windows Registry to obtain information on ZIPmagic Plug-In supported archive types and the types of actions available for each plug-in; and then run command line programs to get the job done (parsing their output as necessary, for example the "list archive" ZIPmagic Plug-In action will write archive contents to multiple text files). In this sense, your job can be summarized as stripping all ADF-specific code, and replacing it with code that works generically for all archive types; and adding new menus and custom actions to the existing shell namespace extension actions. Your implementation should also continue to support all existing functionality such as drag-drop and copy-paste. Where some actions cannot be preserved due to shortcomings in the ZIPmagic Plug-In capabilities, these will not be preserved. Your code must run on all 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, beginning with Windows Vista, and supporting all versions through the latest Windows 10. Please take a look at the functioning of the attached ADF View shell namespace extension, as well as the functioning of the ZIPmagic shell namespace extension using the attached archives and the online web address zipmagic dot co.

Hi, In addition to this project I've also found your project for "TAR Folder shell extension" and one with conversion to Delphi. I am interested in helping you but only in case I will be working on all of these projects cause I am interested in long term cooperation only. I think I have all the necessary experience to help you with all of your projects. Why do you post them all separately btw? Why not just one project. I think you may get more bids in case you mention you have 3 different projects instead of just one. Or you did it because you just want to get it done asap and you want to hire a different person for each project. Anyway, I am ready to help you. My hourly rate is USD 30/hr. Best regards, Oleg
