[BUG] 17.000 files too much?
Configuration
- Keka version: 1.2.52 (4882)
- macOS version: 12.1 (21C52)
Describe the bug
Folder has size of 24GB and contains over 17.000 files. Cant compress files into zip. Get error: There was some error accessing the binary "7zz"
although I try to zip it and not 7z. I need to have all files in the main folder and not in sub folder.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to your files
- Select 17.000 files
- Right click
- Choose Keka compress here
Expected behavior
File compress
An operation with less inputs also fails with the same message?
With less files it is working.
It seems like there's a limit of 4096 arguments in the task and your operation results in more than 17K. I'll check to workaround this one.

This build has a new option in the Finder Extension to compress the contents of the folder:

This feature only works for 7Z and ZIP formats right now.

works!
Can't seem to find the "compress the contents here/to" options, were they removed from the final release? Thanks!
@franamati a toggle will come in the Preferences of 1.2.55 version (not in the upcoming 1.2.54).
You can use it already in this build and replace it with 1.2.55 whenever it comes: https://github.com/aonez/Keka/releases/download/dev-test-builds/Keka-v1.2.54.r4985.7z
