man, I hate to see 7zip lose to proprietary compression tools like rar, but when 7zip keeps messing up its own header on creation, what are you gonna do...🤷♂️
I forgot to mention this in the video, but the few times that I had an archive get corrupted was from having it on a drive that was slowly failing. I don't know for sure that the drive was the issue, but since I got rid of it, I've made a ton more archives and haven't had any issues since. I think the issue overall is probably really rare.
@@KenHarrisio i've tried on three different drives, my backup 8tb drive, new-ish 4tb drive on my desktop that I bought 3 months ago, and a 5 year old 1tb laptop HDD and it just keeps on happening. tried compiling 7zip from source and it didn't help either (then tried debian's build by extracting the .deb just to see if maybe I compiled it wrong, but the issue persists. currently on fedora as of writing) I think the official 7zip port to Linux is just broken somehow while RAR just works
Gosto de usar o picocrypt
is there a way to add new files to 7zip without unpacking and having to encrypt it again ?
I checked documentation on this to verify and I didn't see any way for it to be done. I've also not been able to get it to work personally.

@@polinskitom2277 I see now. It's a very real possibility that it's an issue with the Linux version.
