"7z.exe" When creating an .XZ archive, the files within it are missing their file types. "samplefile" instead of "samplefile.pak"

    7z a -txz projectfiles.xz samplefile.pak is what i used

    Upon further investigation...that file "samplefile" changes to whatever the archive name is. if i change it to samplearchive.xz to newarchive.xz...the file in the archive changes it name to newarchive as well. Whatever the archive name...the file's name gets changes to the same thing.

    The GUI 7zip works fine to create the file...just not with 7z.exe

    Thanks for your reply Igor. It was my fault. I didnt realize xz was just a single-file format
    I ended up using arc.
