#318 ABSOLUTE PATHNAMES BUG/3

[Anonymous]

I found (in 7za v4.12b) that specifying an absolute
pathname with wildcards (strangely) prevents
the "Duplicate filename" error (bug).

So, typing

7za a -tzip a.zip C:\TEMP\A\a.c C:\TEMP\B\a.c

produces the well known error; while

7za a -tzip a.zip C:\TEMP\?\\\*.c

successfully adds files "A\a.c" and "B\a.c" (naturally, I
wanted TEMP\A\a.c and TEMP\B\a.c...).
Has the time come to rewrite archive items collection
routines, and finally make 7-zip suitable for real life? It
doesn't seem to me so rare that more files with the
same name reside in different paths on the same file
system... or am I the only guy on the Earth trying to
archive C sources with 7-zip???
Perhaps 7-zip should become an excellent ARCHIVER
now, not only compressor! (Maybe in v.6.xx???)
