ZIP files handling

**kodiak** · 18th April 2008, 12:13

Hello everybody!

This is my first post in the forum, so hello everybody again.

My question is simple, is zip file handled (zipping, unzipping, adding, reading comments) in Qt?

If no, what should I use to still have portalbe code, I think about zlib, but maybe there are better.

Thanks for your answers

Qt is linked against zlib, so you can safely use its methods.

Maybe http://quazip.sourceforge.net/ can help you too.

Thanks for the reply,

I had to release application version with Zip files handling and had no time to learning zlib usage. I took some code based on WinAPI and do the job. But now I want go back to the problem witch zipping files and maintain my code portable.

Could you explain me HOW can I use zlib in my Qt application? I'm developing it in MS VisualStudio 2005. I would be really grateful if you give me some advise.
