|
 |
Does anyone know how to add functionality to 7-zip via "codecs", like from http://www.tc4shell.com/en/7zip/.
Like I downloaded this Modern7z plugin, because it supports Zstd and Brotli.
In the description in said, create a subfolder in 7-zip "Codecs" and then unpack the 32 or 64 bit folders, done.
I did just that and nowhere do I see the options for the new compression methods.
Does anyone have experience with this?

"The hyperbole, the demonization of the other opinion and the unwillingness to even read the opposing opinion destroys the so important political discussions necessary for the well functioning of society.", Couleur

Do you maybe have multiple 7z installations?

Works with accordance to the docs.
Quote: | Each of these compression methods can only pack a single file. Multiple files
are usually pre-packed into a container like TAR, and then it is compressed with
the method. You can also use any of these compression methods as a codec when
packing files into a .7z file.
|
Quote: | As the 7-Zip user interface doesn’t allow you to directly select an additional compression method to be used when packing files into a .7z file, you have to specify it via the "Parameters" field. Use a string in the format "0=NAME" (where NAME is the internal name of the compression method).

Single file
Multiple files

strange, must be something with your system.
Works for me..
not shure, i had a problem before but it went away when i started 7zip as admin.. (i guess IF installed on System Drive)... DId you try run as Admin?
edit:
I dont know what this could cause... Anyway, did you copied it the right way?
Or maybe you have the 32bit Version installed, ^^

Yep, double check where you copied files. And also double check for multiple 7-Zip locations.
Do "7-Zip" --> "Add to archive..." thingy and check
via Taskbar
or via Task Manager
