Subsequently changing the archive properties - can't find the menu item
Hello,
I've already searched the forum for the following problem, but couldn't find a suitable post, which surprises me because I thought that other users must actually have the same problem.
I've been desperately trying to find the right menu item in the 7zip-File-Manager for a while now. My problem: I created a zip file using the context menu in the Windows-File-Manager (Explorer). When you create this archive, you first get the familiar pop-up menu where you can enter the compression type, encryption, password, information about the folder structure (e.g. relative path or absolute path) and so on.
The archive is then created. When I then open the archive in the 7zip-File-Manager, I can't find the settings anywhere where I can, for example, subsequently assign a password or change the folder structure from absolute to relative, for example.
I do find "Properties" under the "File" menu. But only a few properties are displayed there - and only in read mode. You can't change anything there.
Can anyone help me find the settings if I want to change something in the properties of an archive "afterwards" (!!)?
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards, hk-geest

Thank you for the quick response. OK, I understand that. I wouldn't have thought that you couldn't edit or change it in the FileManager, but then it's clear why I couldn't find a suitable function despite searching intensively in the menus.
Thank you for the help!

You can only rename folders and files inside archive.
But it can be slow for big archive, because 7-zip rewrites full archive for any update operation.
