lynx modified a comment on ticket #2621
Thanks, it would be nice to have a mention of this feature in man 7z or 7z --help so it would not be that surprising to find it by chance when something in path given to '-o' contains a star. I can see why it would be useful on Windows with its poor cmd shell, but even then there is a for loop for this kind of thing. With a fast google search it gives some ugly cmd style snippet doing 7z x *.zip -o* as SET "p7zip=C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" FOR %%I IN (*.zip) DO ( "%p7zip%" x "%%~fI" -o"%%~dpnI"...

That's what I get: Right, this is what you get when you press Code button on empty selection. I pressed it on a string and got `string` which then used to create multi line code snippet that gobbled up newlines. If you press Code on multi-line selection it will give block framed by triple tilde. Is any of these things explained anywhere in button description? No. (Yeah, I could do some guessing about it or reading about formatting before posting, but who does that before first post? Inability to...

Okay, so sourceforge use markdown, good to know. But "Code" button gives just ``, not triple backticks. And I cant find a way to edit original post. This is completely unrelated to the bugreport issue and a problem on the sourceforge poor interface (hiding this information behind a button does not help much for first time users like me. Simple notation "We use markdown" would be much better - I cant be bothered to read documentation on formatting of a site I do not intend to use more than one time)....

This is completely unrelated to the bugreport issue and a problem on the sourceforge poor interface (hiding this information behind a button does not help much for first time users like me). I would much prefer at least a word on current topic - is this by chance intended behavior or not. Because if it is intended - '-o' is almost useless - because it...

Sorry, first time using sourceforge, did not know it fucks up newlines in code formatting. Here is the thing in code block, but with new lines: mkdir test; cd test touch file.txt mkdir -p './star*path/output' 7z a NAME.7z file.txt 7z x -o'./star*path/output' NAME.7z
-
Star (*) is expanded into archive name in output path for 7z x command

just so you know, you can change amount of memory 7z use by changing size of dictionary and amount of fast bytes if I remember correctly, there was somewhere a formula. I set it up to use about up to 80GB on my linux machine, so the problem is not in 7z or linux, it is in you.
