NOTE: for that example command to work you have to be in the proper directory. DVD-R you can technically go a little larger if you want but with '4481m' it should fit on pretty much all standard 4.7GB DVD media since it's just barely smaller (within about 1MB) than THE max limit of the DVD media (DVD+R to be more precise which is a bit less storage space than DVD-R media). NOTE: that '4481m' is basically the max you can go that should fit on both DVD+R and DVD-R media. In that example to include just the 'mkv' and 'txt' file into the archive in the example command I used above you would simply swap out "LargeVideoFileNameHere.mkv" with "FileName12*" and it would then include both of those mkv and txt file but omit (not include) the. You can even do stuff like "*.mkv" to include all of a certain type of file into that archive or if files are similarly named but have different extensions or are a bit different after a certain point you can simply do "FilePartOfSimilarName*" and it will include all of those files. I am pretty sure there is a command to extract from the command line to but I never bothered to learn it since the standard 'archive manager' works well enough. 7z.001) and extract it with the archive manager. 7zz -mx0 -v4481m a NameOfArchiveToCreateHere.7z LargeVideoFileNameHere.mkvīasically the ".7z" thing above is the final file it's going to create and the "mkv" is the file you want to add into the "7z" and if it's larger than a DVD it will then automatically create files named like "NameOfArchiveToCreateHere.7z.001" to 'NameOfArchiveToCreateHere.7z.002" etc, which you can burn to DVD and in the future if you want to extract the file(s) out of those you copy the files back from the DVD into the same folder on hard drive, open the first file (the.

I do not believe that ArchiveManager (or more appropriately, the file-roller application written by the GNOME project) can handle *7z files at all.Īlso - digging up a year-old thread is usually not the best optionĬode: Select all. The package p7zip-full installs the commandline application 7z. I also tried reinstalling them from synaptic package manager. How will I launch and set p7zip as default archieve manager. When I checked with software manager, I can find p7zip-full, p7zip and p7zip-rar are installed.īut I cant launch p7zip from software centre and also I cant locate them in start menu.

P7zip is in the Mint 20.1 repositories, so can be added that way, but I don't think that it shows in LMDE 4. I believe that p7zip is the actual Linux equivalent of 7zip. You don't say where you obtained it from & how you tried to create it - or, possibly more important, how you deleted it. I don't think there is a 7zip application for Linux - well not an official one, anyway.
