This issue is sixteen years old... but the problem is still there...

I can help e.g. doing tests or reviewing code or writing some code, and other volunteer can also write code. Finally, thanks for 7zip! We can connect all the dots and keep up the good work!

The same happens to other people, for example: - "archives that I could extract with older versions of 7z are no longer usable with the new version". - "This breaks backwards compatibility with older versions of 7z (which don't fail extracting this archive). Here is an example: ERROR: Dangerous link path was ignored". That would be kindly solved with the «additional mode to allow [uncompressing] any links» that Igor talked about.

Uncompress files --keep compatibility-- without "ERROR: Dangerous link path was ignored"

Thanks for the prompt reply! I have tried the -snld switch and I'm observing the following: [...] archives that I could extract with older versions of 7z are no longer usable with the new version :( It would be great if there was a switch that allowed these "outside" archive links to just issue a warning and not be created but the archive to be otherwise restored. Is this something you would be willing to entertain? @ipavlov , yes, please!

Excellent! I've tried a beta version of Kubuntu 17.04 and Joe works as expected!
