Support user-defined extension filtering

lenny20 opened this issue · 2 comments

Some extended types of files are redundant and even dangerous.
I hope that 7z can support user-defined extension filtering like WinRAR, so that certain files will not be decompressed.
Thank you!

The feature is supported in command-line version, via the -x switch.

If you are requesting this feature on gui, this issue should goto the official or zstd repo, this repo is build script for 7-zip, not a fork.

Below is the 7-zip document of -x switch.

-x (Exclude filenames) switch
Specifies which filenames or wildcarded names must be excluded from the operation.

Multiple exclude switches are supported.

Syntax
-x[<recurse_type>]<file_ref>

<recurse_type> ::= r[- | 0]
<file_ref> ::= @{listfile} | !{wildcard}

See -i (Include) switch description for information about option parameters.

Examples
7z a -tzip archive.zip .txt -x!temp.

adds to the archive.zip all .txt files, except temp. files.

7z a archive.7z Folder1\ -xr!*.png

adds to the archive.7z all files from Folder1 and its subfolders, except *.png files.

Commands that can be used with this switch
a (Add), d (Delete), h (Hash), e (Extract), l (List), t (Test), rn (Rename), u (Update), x (Extract with full paths)

Switches: -r (Recurse), -i (Include)

Thank you first!
I have known that, and I’m sure you never use it that way. I talking about GUI version.
I have posted it to 7-Zip-zstd fork. SourceForge cannot register. Could you help me to feed this requirement to the official forum?
