About "Tools / Delete Temporary Files..." I think the original requestor mentioned WinRAR's "Wipe temporary files", i.e. overwriting ALL THEIR CONTENTS with 0 bytes or random bytes before deleting the file. That makes sense if added/extracted files were sensitive to not unwillingly leak their contents to random places of the disk. It can be a problem on SSD, though, because of their wear-leveling algorithms (if you overwrite a file, it can actually not be overwritten in place, but the zero/random...

Maybe you can integrate the following solution to have the ability of ZSTD and LZ4 compression within .7z archives? https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd Thanks in advance!
-
It would be very helpful to be able to exclude files/folders when creating archives using GUI. For example, when archiving ad-hoc the entire "source" directory which contains many node.js projects, they all contain these dreaded "node_modules" directories with many gigabytes and millions of files deeply nested. They're not required to be archived, as they can be simply restored/reinstalled. Same for intermediate obj/ and bin/ folders in .NET projects. I'm sure there are many other legitimate uses...
-
Yeah, 2 things need to be improved with regard to the installer: it should offer the option to automatically exit any running KeePass in order to be able to install smoothly (and then restart it if it was running before), and do not ask for any options if it's an upgrade, simply reusing selections that were used for initial installation. That would make it so much simpler. Git for Windows is an excellent example of that approach.
-
That response didn't age well. Now ChaCha20+Poly1305 is in widespread use.
-
Yeah, tried to compress my "source" folder with million files in multiple "node_modules" directories, would greatly appreciate the exclude option in GUI where I could put node_modules and other bs I don't need in my archives. Hoping that you're the programming guy will understand this pain... Thanks in advance!

That works, thanks. It wasn't that easy to find this "group search" settings. For others who may stumble upon this - Right Click (or use Group menu), Edit Group, tab Properties, and the dropdown "Searching entries in this group" - set to Disabled. So I would modify my feature request - let the "Show Entries of Subgroups" list doesn't include entries in descending groups disabled for search, unless a user explicitly clicks on such a group. Thanks.

Ignore Recycle Bin when using "Show Entries of Subgroups"

Maybe it's a good time to reconsider adding of some other algos from 7-Zip ZStandard fork?
-
Thanks so much! Please also consider including other codecs, such as ZStandard and LZ4 to make 7-zip even more amazing. Please look at Tino's work here - https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd.
-
Please incorporate Tino Reichardt's extensions, especially ZStandard compression. What he did to 7-Zip is awesome, and it would be great if it was integrated in your main 7-Zip code. I've used it for heavy tasks for almost 2 years now and it's just perfect. https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd
-
Hi Tino! Good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for the update!
-
MD5 is broken for many years already. SHA1 is declared broken deprecated as well. Do you really want broken checksums in such a good software? What's the advantage? I'd rather add more modern and more secure SHA-3 checksum than crappy old piece of junk...
-
So my 1st request is if it is possible to add support for the "zlb" format in 7-Zip? My 2nd request is if it is possible to add support for the "LzSA" format in 7-Zip (and probably be the first to do so)? Yes! It is certainly possible! Somebody did that already for Zstd format. You can write a plugin for 7zip and share it. You can start here http://www.tc4shell.com/en/7zip/modern7z/, here https://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html and here https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/18.05/ (source...

@Doria N. donate decent money to Igor, the creator, for dedicated priority support, and you're gonna get dedicated priority support. It's so super easy... "A big company" just parasitizing on open source projects without paying a single cent back - it's so common...
-
The entire Tino's repository on GitHub is available again: https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd Unfortunately it's not updated, but maybe somebody can fork and update it to 18.05? I know Dec's patches are good quality, I'm just concerned about missing UI for plugins.
-
Thank you! Got a newer one, with full git history, perhaps it's up to the last commit ever made, maybe we should recreate the project on github? https://ufile.io/zrt41 (will be deleted after 30 days from now).

Does anybody have the source code of latest release of Tino's 7-zip-zstd? I have some archives with obscure codecs (like LZ4) and I desperately need to unpack them... And I'd like to have the source to preserve it for posteriority... EDIT: I have it up to the commit 473a1efdb1acf1bfbd55b84f1f66768612680fe7 at Tue Nov 28 20:50:25 2017 +0100. Is there anything newer than that? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Igor. Please seriously consider adding modern ANS-based algorithms to 7-zip (they're super fast and offer very good compression ratios). There's already a fork of 7-zip that contains them - https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/ - it's just a matter of decision and merging the code... I'm sure the author would collaborate with you on this. Thanks in advance.
-
Thank you so much Igor. I'm glad you've listened. I can feel my code examples influenced you ;-) Now I'll try to persuade you to include ZSTD, LZ4 and LZ5 compression methods (which are in 7-Zip ZSTD clone https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd). Recently I've tested ZSTD method on this data - https://github.com/berzerk0/Probable-Wordlists - and it made my jaw drop on the floor. ZSTD method compressed this text data as good as LZMA2 but MUCH MUCH faster. And there's this famous LZ4 with worse compression,...

Fantastic, I'm going to test it and switch to it ASAP. Thank you very much!!!
