#1398 Select files by date

[Héctor D.]

Hi;

I've been using info-zip for a while for backup purposes in Windows but I would like to begin using 7-zip, but it lacks the option to select files by date or by archive attribute and the possibility of restore this archive attribute after the compression.

These options would be very appreciated by system managers and will convert 7-Zip in an extraordinary backup tool.

Thanks in advance.

This could be a general "filtering" feature. For example, include or exclude files by date, and/or by name, and/or by name pattern (regex), and/or by visibility status, and/or by the Windows "archive" status flag, etc. An option to filter by Windows file status flags such as "invisible" and "archive" would be great, and I can also see value in an option to filter by date.
