New command: compress

[rplanchuelo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I would like to compress several selected files into one file, the name of the new compressed file would be a parameter

Will you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

You could use the atool that contains many elements:

• apack to compress
• als for listing
• aunpack to extract
  unarchiver (unar) could be substituted by atool

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

It's in Ranger (python)

I'd recommend to use ouch! It's basically an all-in-one (de)compress tool!

[rplanchuelo]

Ouch is in Rust, maybe it is easier folk or included it to build this new feature

Hi! Would you like to implement it as a plugin?

Once it's stable enough, it can be seamlessly integrated into Yazi as a built-in plugin (similar to existing plugins like image preview, code highlighting, folder preview, etc. – all of which are built-in plugins).

In Yazi, plugins are treated as first-class citizens, just like commands, but offering greater flexibility.

I could do with a file with cx.active.current.hovered, but I dont know if it is possible with a range of select files

Command function doesn`t work for me. Error:

2024-02-05T17:45:09.863472Z ERROR yazi::app::commands::plugin: runtime error: [string "/home/rober/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates...."]:10: attempt to call a nil value (global 'Command')

local child = os.execute(cmd) work
local child = Command(cmd) doesn't work (error)

And args in plugin test --sync --args='foo bar' change the string to hexadecimal code

I will add this API in the next target. For now you can use manager_emit("shell") to implement it, like this #51 (comment)
