Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 i'll post a tutorial on how to zip up files in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Really just download and install WinRAR or WinZIP. From there, all it is is right clicking on the file in Explorer and going to the submenu WinRAR or WinZIP and add to archive. Hope that helps!

Windows XP includes built in support for zip files (RightClick -> Send To -> Zipped Folder). If you want many other formats go for 7-zip.

Mike Ryan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 WinRAR is better :twisted: Plus, I do not have the built in ZIP support. My OS does not have that included so I have to have softwares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Plus, I do not have the built in ZIP support. My OS does not have that included so I have to have softwares. Paint.NET requires either XP SP2 or Vista - both include built in zip support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I use Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, an XP derivative that is only loaded with essential elements of XP allowing for more speed and better performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Oh, well anyway, most pdn users are on normal xp or vista so they can use the built in functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wither Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 WinRAR is better :twisted: The above statement is false. 7-Zip = free = better. Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 And it supports three formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 And it supports three formats.What, 7-Zip? Because 7-Zip supports about eighteen individual formats. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 And it supports three formats.What, 7-Zip? Because 7-Zip supports about eighteen individual formats. Oh, I just quickly tried creating a compressed file to see how many there were - and I found three options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 If you go to the 7-Zip File Manager, then to Tools > Options > System, that will list all the file formats it supports and you can associate with. Or visit the website, which is what I did. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wither Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Upload it to your website/file host/whatever and post the link... Or attach it in a post here. I don't know the size limit for attachments on the boards though. Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
