Correct. If use *.* only considers the dates of the files but saves the information of which folder they are, if doing only * the folders dates are saved as well and the 7z date is the date of the "latest" folder. Problem is the GUI version... the GUI version only considers *and as such the 7z file made with the GUI manager always counts the folders dates and not the files only.

Hi Igor, I submitted as a bug, because the command line version -stl works correctly considering only the timestamp of the files and not the directories timestamps. GUI behaviour should be similar to the command line one. Thank you.

GUI version -stl option different behaviour from command line

Thanks Igor. Hopefully can become a feature in next version or the GUI include it as option. Cheers for the good work.
