Windows 10: Latest 7-Zip Update

Thanks for the heads up.....just grabbed it....*Smile

 

15.14 seems to be out.

 

Good eye.. that's what I just got.

 

Ok updated first post. I only had to change the version number, everything else stayed the same.(the date, and changelog)*Confused
Thanks @eLPuSHeR

 

One thing I don't like about 7-Zip is it tells you to reboot after the install which is not needed with WinRAR even though I never reboot like it asks me to...

 

That only happened to me ounce, probably because I had a .dll file still open in 7Zip when I updated.

 

I've just got 15.14

Thanx !

*Smile

 

Happens everytime I installed although I have technically only installed the original version many years ago and the last two versions and I never opened 7Zip before the install. I don't use 7zip unless I had a .7z file, otherwise I use WinRAR for everything else. Never had to open 7Zip except right after each install to make sure it works.

 

I've been using WinRAR for years, (registered user) but I find myself using 7zip more N more lately. *Smile

 

Hard to break the habit since I really only need 7zip to repackage .apk files, everything else WinRAR does nicely. I started since 1987 with PKARC, PKZIP, ARJ, then WinZip, WinRAR and 7-Z. 7-Z is new in my vocabulary even though I probably had it for 6+ years. Guess I need to start using it.

 

You should use what you're comfortable with...

 

I think the thing is that I extract more than I archive so I always just right click and WinRAR... Will try to use 7-Zip more... LOL.

 

I use 7Zip to open up and view inside of .dll files and install.ESD files:

 

7-Zip installer is nothing but just a self extract executable. If you use more than one Windows, you can just use Winrar to extract it to a folder and use it as a portable app so you would not have to install it in every Windows Version. To associate file types, open 7-zip->Tools->Option then you're all set.

One nice thing about 7-zip is it can open/extract both install.wim and install.esd while Winrar and Winzip can't. Handy to use with DISM command to fix Windows.

 

That's why I didn't use it yet... I know it had extra features or something, otherwise you wouldn't be using it. I normally only view inside .zip files and archives in general and view the internal text file. Haven't had to deal with .dll and .esd files yet... One thing I have to say is when creating a zip with right click on the source file, it's one step less than WinRAR and seems to be about 75% faster from the time I start the creation process to the time, the zip file shows up.
