Some website doesn't permit to upload .00x file. Now the name fromat is "xxx.7z.00X". I want to it like : "xxx.00X.7z" 、”xxx.V00X.7z“、“xxx.SV00X.7Z” or like rar's format "xxx.partX.rar".

    "xxx.partX.7z".

    Note that you can split also rar archive:
    a.rar.001
    a.rar.002
    or any another file:
    a.avi.001
    a.avi.002

    So 001 extension is not only 7-Zip related. It's "common" extension for split files that can be used by another programs, for example, by Total Commander.

    I see.
    Then, can you add a new name format for 7z? Add a option for switching the name format.
    WinRAR have an option for switching the old name format like: R0X.

    001/002/split is common format and common extensions.
    Mmaybe we could add some extension after that:
    name.001.split, name.002.split
    But then probably another programs like Total commander will not understand it.

    So, I said "add a option for switching the name format."
    If I want to upload, I switch it to new name format. If I want to use it in TC, I switch it to original format.
    "xxx.00X.7z" ,why not use this? RAR's split volumes' extension is still rar, so I think 7z can use the same format.
