- duskwuff 6y ago7za will do this for you when running with the -mqs option.
- pmarreck 6y agoWhy isn't this the default? Or does it mean you have to use another option when de-7zipping in order to reverse them back?
- duskwuff 6y agoIt's not always beneficial. If directories contain groups of files with closely related content but different extensions, keeping those groups together may yield better compression results than reordering the files by extension.
