Although I can always pipe the output to NUL, nevertheless a -q option to make 7za quiet would be nice;
the screen output is really time-consuming when compressing whole directory trees with some 1000 files.
Please consider adding such an option - thanks.

    Very useful feature. I use 7z compression binary archive 1200 files. For CI server is extra garbage in the build logs.

    You can simply display: "Creating archive binary.7z" and then "Archive created successfull" or similar.

    See thousands of lines of it is terrible. "Everythis is OK" is also a strange message on the logs is not clear who wrote the message and what has it refers.

    I would also like to see this feature added. So please add a +1 vote for this from me. This request seems to be a duplicate of 531 and 866.

    Igor seems not interested in this feature so I tried to implement it. Here is my repository with required modification. In fact, the feature was partially introduced but not completely implemented. You can pick up changes and build binaries or download pre-compiled binaries from Releases section
