Activity for 7-Zip

    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/add-7zip-to-right-click-menu-in-windows I wrote in response to the author... You're wrong. You can easily add 7Zip to the context menu. Open it up, go Tools / Options / 7-zip and select the options you want to appear in your context menu. I've used this tool forever and have never had an issue setting up my context menu. You've done the author of this tool a disservice by not properly showing a way and simply pushing some other piece of software. And, no, forks are...

    Hi, When i right click on a 7-zip file and click properties and write something in the comments field, when I move that file from NTFS storage to FAT32, what I wrote is deleted. Is it possible to save comments on the file itself in 7-zip like Winrar? Thanks.

    Zstandard and LZ4 would be fine. Lizard looks like a kid with hydrocephalus. It has crazy slow compression speeds, so I could as well use Zstandard instead of it and have better speeds/compression ratios. LZ4 is to be the fastest of them all. So there could be like 3 "engines" - 7zip native LZMA as it is, then an option to choose Zstandard for more flexible scenarios, and LZ4 for the fast archiving/unarchiving for scenarios requiring extreme speeds. I agree this should resemble Tino's 7zip-zstd....

    What command/format did you use? Please show error message. 7-Zip updates existing archive.

    Check if file name is available before starting to compress

    @ipavlov, Windows Explorer allows zooming in and out using the mouse wheel. This allows making the text bigger or smaller. Could you perhaps make this available in the 7-zip details file view?

    The plugin uses only those hashing algorithms that are implemented in Windows. That is, support for SHA3-256 & SHA3-512 will appear when support for these algorithms appears in Windows.

  • Igor Pavlov Igor Pavlov posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    It helps us to fix the problems: There is problem with archive. 7-zip reports about it. So we have additional chance to know about the problem, and additional motivation for developers of software that creates the problem to fix the problem.

  • lelik007 lelik007 posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    From what I know of this: some people use Fast LZMA2 as a compatible implementation because you don't need anything but the official 7-zip to unpack it. Some use (but majority just unpacks) ZSTD, LZ4, Brotli in their own containers, or some want to use 7z container (as more familiar) to store ZSTD or LZ4 methods (because I've never seen a real Brotli user who wants it inside 7z) but what I've never seen is either LZ5 or a Lizard user at all.

  • Igor Pavlov Igor Pavlov posted a comment on ticket #590

    It's rare case conditions. Percents are for archive creation only. Copying was not included to percents progress, because usually we have no that additional "Copying" stage. Maybe we should show some information to user about that stage. I'll think about it. 7-zip doesn't use RAM for temp files, because archive can be larger than RAM size. Also RAM will not help in your case, because USB is still slow. So you need time for writing to USB.

    In some cases, 7-zip archives data to local temp folder, and then it copies data to USB. So just wait copying finishing, if your USB is slow.

    I strongly agree with Dr. Freeman! As an incident responder I have seen dozens of cases where users downloaded 7-Zip from other websites and it came bundled with malware. Having a known checksum or signature would allow people to confirm they have the original installer before executing it. It would also allow companies to allow-list the correct files based on the checksum thereby blocking all others.
