In depth
A closer look at WinArcHelper
If you've developed a computer program or a project with the aid of software tools you should know about the archiving problem of the work files. What's the problem? The problem is that the project directory has so much absolutely useless files. There are executable, compiled, object files, temporary files created by code editors etc. Such files are compressed so bad and take so much place in the archive files. The WinArcHelper is the simple utility that manages your favorite archiver and solve such the problem. You simply select the directory and WinArcHelper scans and gathers all unique extensions to create a rule for this directory. Rule is the list of file masks created from extensions. You can see this rule and choose appropriate file masks to exclude or include files with the extensions you need. Usually they are temporary files. For Delphi programmers there are *.dcu, *.exe, *.dll, *.~* etc.
