But I think there's no such information in the headers. It will be very usefull to detect 7Z & ZIP archives compressed using p7zip on macOS so 7-zip can decompose only those and use the archived encoding for the rest. If you don't see issues in current Windows (10-11) while extracting the decomposed characters probably we can keep archiving the original encoding (composed or decomposed). p7zip archives and extracts the original encoding (composed or decomposed)."Caja" extracts the original encoding (composed or decomposed).

Ubuntu supports composed and decomposed.I'm not sure if Windows (NTFS) will complain with decomposed characters. RAR always archives and extracts as composed.Bunded Info-ZIP (unzip 6.0) extracts the archived encoding (composed or decomposed).Password-protection is supported if youre creating a new archive, with either ZipCrypto or 256-bit AES encryption. Bundled Info-ZIP (zip 3.0) always archives decomposed jZip is a free archive extractor that can decompress over 40 different file formats, like ones that have the 7Z, EXE, ISO, WIM, LZH, TBZ2, and ZIP file extension.BSDTAR, LZIP and ZSTD archive and extract the original encoding (composed or decomposed).Probably this was the reason p7zip composed when archiving. How some native zip and tar programs in macos store decomposed names in archives? So if we create archive (zip or tar) in macos, do we need to use original decomposed form inside archive, or we should compose for storing in archive?

Also copy/paste a composed filename is always converted to decomposed.Īnother systems (not macos) don't expect decomposed strings, so they use mostly composed form. For example on external ExFAT or FAT decomposed are converted to composed by the system. P7zip Version 9.20 (locale=de_DE.Another question is possible composition for archive (or for external devides transferring). Empty path means a temporary eXclude filenames bd: Disable percentage Include filenames X: eXtract files with full Include eXclude archives P7zip Version 9.20 (locale=de_DE.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,4 CPUs)Į: Extract files from archive (without using directory names)

You might need Xcode and its command line tools for this to work. It will automatically build 7za for your OS. It is distributed as Linux binaries and in source code form on Sourceforge.ĭownload the source code, and run make in the folder you extract the archive to. P7zip is the command line version of 7-Zip for Unix/Linux, made by an independent developer Unfortunately, they seem to be with a GUI, or not available at the moment. On the download page of 7-zip, there are several options for OS X.
