Windows 10: Latest 7-Zip Update

Thanx for the update Cliffo,

I wonder if we will see a plugin to edit mounted wims?

(Yeah I know it's open source... but I'm way too lazy... *Tongue )

 

You're welcome Craig, good things come to those who are lazy....*Biggrin

 

LOL... btw I meant mounted iso's... (Wim needs dism. which in turn calls a bunch of API's)

I keep getting this when I try to install!

 

Click the More info and then run anyway. Or, before downloading in the browser, select save, instead of run, then go to your downloads folder and right click the file and select properties, then unblock.

 

New 7 Zip Finale
18.01 2018-01-28
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can unpack DMG archives that use LZFSE compression method.
- 7-Zip now doesn't allow update operation for archives that have read-only attribute.
- The BUG was fixed:
extracting from tar with -si switch didn't set timestamps for directories.
- Some bugs were fixed.

 

Thanks for the update. Still, 7-zip actually released a final version from the latest version? Unbelievable. *chuckle

 

Don't be an idiot. You know perfectly well why he releases beta versions. It is described on the site.

I'd be happy to take a beta considering it is the best (and most trustworthy) compression program you can get.

 

Yes, but I just recalled someone being pretty upset about the stable version never being released.
