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.

Phil Harvey

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

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Martin Bartonitz

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

Phil Harvey

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