OT: Archive Utilities

WinRar does not save the folder properly... If I use such a file string:

"C:\blah\dummy\*.txt" "C:\blah\dummy\*.html"

The archive created will not include the "dummy" folder, but only the folders and files inside it. This behavior is wrong (especially compared to how WinRar normally would include the dummy folder if I did not play around with the files string...) and extremely annoying.

So start one level up and use the files to exclude field. Even with a huge amount of stuff in the superfolder, it can all be excluded quickly with the append button, ctrl-A for select all, and ctrl-click to deselect the folder you want.
