This feature can be accessed using the ‘a’ function letter. Using the tool, you can package the files in a. We will be using the files displayed in the following screenshot for performing various operations using 7zip.Ĭreate new archive/ add files to existing archive In this section, we will discuss the usage of the 7zip tool and the basic features it provides. $ sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar Usage/Functions So I have no clue what the problem is.NOTE:In case, you want to use 7zip with rar files, then you’ll have to install the following package as well. EDIT: Actually further testing shows that 7zip WILL archive both directories using version 4.65. 04:31 PM GB GB2 <- created by junctionħzip will archive GB, but it will NOT archive GB2. Also, you need to be administrator to create mklink symbolic links.
It makes TRUE symbolic links and I tried it myself and 7zip respects them perfectly.
I'm assuming the OP is actually talking about Junctions as illustrated here. Since there seems to be some confusion on this, allow me to clarify. Note that mklink is pretty powerful and can include links to network shares and the like. If you are using Vista and above, remove the symlinks and replace them with mklinks mklink /D Directory FullPathToRealDirectory However, 7zip on Windows does not have this switch. Just to avoid confusion, note that the Linux build of p7zip (a port of 7zip) also has a binary 7z which does support archiving the file a symbolic link points to (switch -l). Well, if you have enough space (and time), you can make copy of the folder, replacing the symlinks with their targets. There is actually a bug report on 7zip requesting this:īut it was opened in August 2009 and not touched since :-/. All the links are symbolic links (eg created with mklink link target and mklink /D link target).ĭir command output for a smaller test directory: C:\.>dirĬreating a 7z archive of that with 7zip results in real file.txt being included, but test file.txt is added as a 0 byte file, although the file linked to does exist and is 50KB. Or just an archiver that does handle symlinks better. Is there any reasonable workaround apart from adding the files and folders in question? There are about 10,000 files referenced via symlinks so adding them all individually would take hours… Maybe there's a program that creates a staging folder with the real files in it and then passes that to 7zip. Is there a way to tell 7zip that I want it to archive the stuff that it links to, not the link itself? (That is if there is a symlink name foo which points to C:\stuff\foo, I want it to include the C:\stuff\foo directory in the archive in place of foo, not a 0-byte symlink.)) This folder contains symbolic links to some other stuff outside the folder (both directories and files).Īpparently 7zip just archives the link itself which is not what I intended.
