Suggestion to add repair archive option in 7zip

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Components

7zip is an opensource file archiver and it allow you to grab a bunch of files such as audio, video, documents, notes etc from your computer and pack them tightly into an archive, shrinking their file size until someone decides to unpack them.

Proposal

Similar to other file compression software 7zip also comes across corruption issues and we might lose our important compressed files due to various reasons. such as virus attack, downloading error, use of inappropriate tool to unpack 7zip files, now the problem with 7zip is that if our archive/file got corrupted for any reason then there is no option available in 7zip to repair that corrupted archive, so i suggest it's great if we able to repair our corrupted archive through 7zip, and i hope users also appreciate this improvement, let me show you examples that how repair archive option looks like in 7zip.
Link to download 7zip: - https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/releases
Another link to download 7zip: - http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Mockups / Examples

Once user's left click on repair archive option then new menu opens up and user's just need to enter the path of the corrupted archive and finally click on ok, see the below image.

After that 7zip will start reading and try to repair the corrupted archive and finally produce a rebuild zip file.

Benefits

By adding this function in 7zip user's able to repair their corrupted archives easily and they won't need to find & use any third party software, this improvement will also catch more users as peoples find 7zip equipped with helpful tools.
