Description:


this is a soon to be obsoleted helper class for the fileBrowser.
it wraps OS-specific command line archivers (tar, zip, rar, etc)
into a common protocol useful to display an archive's contents.

will be removed - do not use for your projects.

Class protocol:

classAccess
o  arArchive

o  gzipArchive

o  lzipArchive

o  tarArchive

o  tarGZipArchive

o  zipArchive

columns
o  columns

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

command strings
o  stringWithQuotedStrings: aColOfStrings
used to generate command line arguments;
if aColOfFiles is a non-empty collection,
return them as one space-separated string, with elements quoted, prefixed by a space.
Otherwise return an empty string

commandOutputReader
o  commandOutputParser

o  commandOutputParserClass

initialization
o  initializeMimeTypeMapping
abstract - special handling

instance creation
o  classForMimeType: aMimeType fileName: aFileNameOrNil
hard coded heuristics...

Usage example(s):

     self classForMimeType:nil fileName:nil   
     self classForMimeType:'application/x-tar-compressed' fileName:nil   
     self classForMimeType:'application/x-tar' fileName:nil   
     self classForMimeType:'application/x-foo' fileName:nil   
     self classForMimeType:'application/x-squeak-archive' fileName:nil  
     self classForMimeType:'application/java-archive' fileName:nil 
     'foo.sar' asFilename mimeTypeFromName               
     'foo.jar' asFilename mimeTypeFromName               
     'foo.a' asFilename mimeTypeFromName               

o  newFor: aFilename
instantiate an archiver for the given filename;
will try to extract the mime type from it first

o  with: aFilename

queries
o  canAddFiles

o  canDragnDrop

o  canExtractFiles

o  canRemoveFiles

o  canViewFile

o  hasTitleLine

o  isAbstract
(comment from inherited method)
Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned for Object here; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.

o  numTitleLines


Instance protocol:

accessing
o  errorStream
return the value of the instance variable 'errorStream' (automatically generated)

o  errorStream: something
set the value of the instance variable 'errorStream' (automatically generated)

o  fileName
return the value of the instance variable 'fileName' (automatically generated)

o  fileName: something
set the value of the instance variable 'fileName' (automatically generated)

o  outStream
return the value of the instance variable 'outStream' (automatically generated)

o  outStream: something
set the value of the instance variable 'outStream' (automatically generated)

o  outStream: anOutStream errorStream: anErrorStream synchron: aBoolean

o  process
return the value of the instance variable 'process' (automatically generated)

o  process: something
set the value of the instance variable 'process' (automatically generated)

o  synchron
return the value of the instance variable 'synchron' (automatically generated)

o  synchron: something
set the value of the instance variable 'synchron' (automatically generated)

o  temporaryDirectory
return the value of the instance variable 'temporaryDirectory' (automatically generated)

o  useBuiltinArchiver
by default, we use the underlying OS's command line tools to list and extract entries.
However, under windows, if no winrar/rar is installed,
we must use our builtin zip archiver.
This flag is automatically set, if we detect that situation

o  useBuiltinArchiver: aBoolean
by default, we use the underlying OS's command line tools to list and extract entries.
However, under windows, if no winrar/rar is installed,
we must use our builtin zip archiver.
This flag is automatically set, if we detect that situation

actions
o  extractFilesTo: aDirectory

o  getCommandToListFiles: aColOfFiles

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

o  listFiles: aColOfFiles
no list command configured/found.

o  removeFilesFromArchive: aColOfFiles

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

actions-basic
o  addFilesToArchive: colOfFiles

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

o  extractFiles: aColOfFilesOrNil to: aDirectory

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

actions-private
o  removeTemporaryDirectory

o  stopProcess

command execution
o  executeCommand: cmd directory: aDirectory
do it lineWise, since outStream may be an ActorStream

o  isValidOutputLine: line
return true, if line contains a valid list-files output line

** This method must be redefined in concrete classes (subclassResponsibility) **

o  listFilesReader

command strings
o  addDoubleQuotedBaseNames: collectionOfFilenames toStream: aStream

o  addDoubleQuotedFilenames: collectionOfFilenames toStream: aStream

initialization & release
o  release
(comment from inherited method)
remove all references to objects that may refer to self.
Subclasses may redefine this method but should do a 'super release'.
