Suggestion to 7-zip developer: command line - compressing all files in a folder without subfolder

[Joe2012]

Hi, 7-zip developer Igor Pavlov.
First, thanks for your wanderful free tool.
It would be usefull to enable in the command line to compress all files in a folder without subfolder. At current version there is a switch for that as I remember, but it doesn't work as far as I tried and as far as I read from other users.

Thanks,
Joe

Greetings!

A batch file coded for Tally Data Backup is being enclosed herewith for your reference to address the issue of "Duplicate File Name in Different Sub-Directories" occurs with ABK.900.

@List.TXT

C:\Tally.ERP9\Data\10000\ABK.900
C:\Users\Public\Tally.ERP9\Data\00011\ABK.900
C:\Users\Public\Tally.ERP9\Data\00012\ABK.900
C:\Program Files\Tally.ERP9\tallycfg.tsf
C:\Program Files\Tally.ERP9\stat.900

The batch file has coded for both 7-Zip and WinRAR due to similar command and switches. However, the aforesaid issue is not with WinRAR.

Therefore, you are kind requested to update binaries of the 7-Zip to work flawlessly as WinRAR does.

Thanks & Regards!
Rajiv
