#1041 Renaming inside archive from console

[Anonymous]

Love your program, super efficient.

To business:
I need to be able to rename files inside existing 7z archives from the command prompt. Please implement this as soon as possible.

I do not need a mass-rename syntax, but a simple syntax such as
7z r "file.7z" "OldName":"NewName"

Thank you for your continued efforts.

I'd like to second this feature request. The suggested syntax makes a lot of sense to me except for the new 'r' command; if detecting the existence of the new name after the colon would be enough. We can use other means for deciding the new name. This syntax should also work when adding a new file to an archive while giving it another name such as:

7z.exe a "existingArchive.7z" "fileName.txt":"newName.xyz"
should result in an archive "existingArchive.7z" containing the file "newName.xyz" while leaving the file "fileName.txt" untouched in it's original place.

I would like to give this a +1 as well. this would be a very helpful feature and the syntax above seems very reasonable
