I have some custom perl code that uses p7zip to extract zip/7z files and then do things with the extracted contents. It used to be that when you did the extract, you got the same output as the list command showing what files were extracted. Now you don't get that, and the only thing you get with -bb[1-3] is the filenames themselves prefixed by a single character telling you what the action taken on that file was ('-' for extract, 'T' for test, '.' for skipped). At the simplest, it would be nice to be able to set a flag to turn the listing output back on, either as part of -bb[1-3] or as a separate switch. Alternately, if it would be possible to add at least a flag in the -bb[1-3] output to indicate file vs directory, that would be very helpful. Not sure if this belongs here or in the main 7zip area so I'm putting it in both.
