Title: 7z files
Post by: davo777 on May 28, 2020, 09:41:25 AM
Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to read metadata from 7z files.

The following command returns Unknown file type

ExifTool.exe -ee C:\Users\Name\Desktop\SevenZ\files.7z

From the main website I can see rar and zip files are supported, just wanted to check if 7z aren't.

Yes.  ExifTool doesn't yet support 7z files.

Hi Phil, is there any planning to support 7z as well?

No plans currently.  What sort of information are you looking to extract?  And why not just use the 7z utility for this?
