    Greetings,

    I want to compress several folders with completely different sizes. Each folder should be a 7z archive.
    Archives exceeding a set size limit should be split in volumes (e. g. 2GB). I don't know in advance which folder will exceed the limit.

    Example:
    7z.exe a folderN.7z *.* -v2g

    However all archive have the file extension folderN.7z.001, no matter if they below the size limit or not.

    Is it possible to specifiy that archives below the size limit keep the 7z file extension (e. g. folderN.7z) and got not renamed to 7z.001?

    OK, thanks for the answer.

    I will replace *.* by *
