+<H4>What version of 7-Zip is more stable?</H4>\r
+<P>Now there are two main versions of 7-Zip:</P>\r
+<UL>\r
+<LI>7-Zip 4.65 - it's revision 65 of 7-Zip 4 (started in 2004)\r
+<LI>7-Zip 9.13 beta - it's revision 13 of 7-Zip 9 (started in 2009)\r
+</UL>\r
+<P>Latest beta version fixes some bugs of previous versions.\r
+So it can be more stable. But also latest beta version includes new \r
+features (like new compression methods or some new code optimizations), \r
+that were not tested enough. \r
+<P>In general it's safe to use latest beta version.</P>\r
+\r
<H4>Why do the add, delete and update operations not work for some existing archives?</H4>\r
<P>The current version of 7-Zip can't execute some operations with .7z archives that have been \r
created with the "solid" option switched on. You can disable solid mode with -ms=off switch \r
in command line. Latest beta version of 7-Zip supports any operations with "solid" archives.</P>\r
\r
-<H4>Why doesn't the command line version add files without extensions to an archive?</H4>\r
-<P>You're probably using a *.* wildcard. 7-Zip doesn't use the operating system's wildcard mask parser, \r
-and consequently treats *.* as any file that has an extension. \r
-To process all files you must use the * wildcard instead or omit the wildcard altogether.</P>\r
-\r
<H4>Why can't 7-Zip open some ZIP archives?</H4>\r
<P>In 99% of these cases it means that the archive contains incorrect headers.\r
Other ZIP programs can open some archives with incorrect headers, since these programs \r
Instead try to find the program that was used to create the archive and inform the developers \r
of that program that their software is not ZIP-compatible.</P>\r
\r
-<P>There are also some ZIP archives that were encoded with methods unsupported by 7-Zip. \r
-Some of these unsupported methods: PPMd (WinZip), WAVPack (WinZip).</P>\r
+<P>There are also some ZIP archives that were encoded with methods unsupported by 7-Zip,\r
+for example, WAVPack (WinZip).</P>\r
+\r
+<H4>Why does drag-and-drop archive extraction from 7-Zip to Explorer use temp files?</H4>\r
+<P>7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target.\r
+Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target.\r
+And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk.\r
+So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then \r
+7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files.\r
+Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder.</P>\r
+\r
+<P>To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or \r
+drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.</P>\r
+\r
+<H4>Why doesn't the command line version add files without extensions to an archive?</H4>\r
+<P>You're probably using a *.* wildcard. 7-Zip doesn't use the operating system's wildcard mask parser, \r
+and consequently treats *.* as any file that has an extension. \r
+To process all files you must use the * wildcard instead or omit the wildcard altogether.</P>\r
+\r
+<H4>Why doesn't -r switch work as expected?</H4>\r
+<P>In most cases you don't need -r switch.\r
+7-Zip can compress subfolders even without -r switch.</P>\r
+<P>Example 1:</P>\r
+<PRE> 7z.exe a c:\a.7z "C:\Program Files"</PRE>\r
+<P>compresses "C:\Program Files" completely, including all subfolders.</P>\r
+<P>Example 2:</P>\r
+<PRE> 7z.exe a -r c:\a.7z "C:\Program Files"</PRE>\r
+<P>searches and compresses "Program Files" in all subfolders of C:\ (for example, in "C:\WINDOWS").</P>\r
+If you need to compress only files with some extension, you can use -r switch:\r
+<PRE> 7z a -r c:\a.zip c:\dir\*.txt </PRE>\r
+<P>compresses all *.txt files from folder c:\dir\ and all it's subfolders.</P>\r
+\r
+<H4>How can I store full path of file in archive?</H4>\r
+<P>7-Zip stores only relative paths of files (without drive letter prefix).\r
+You can change current folder to folder that is common for \r
+all files that you want to compress and then you can use relative paths:</P>\r
+<PRE>\r
+ cd /D C:\dir1\\r
+ 7z.exe a c:\a.7z file1.txt dir2\file2.txt\r
+</PRE>\r
\r
<H4>Why can't 7-Zip use big dictionary in 32-bit Windows?</H4>\r
<P>32-bit Windows allocates only 2 GB of virtual space per one application. \r
