Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that's what your computer has installed and they're like "Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip" even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z
Can't comment on that because I don't send archives very often, but here's my aliases (aliae?) in my .bashrc to make extracting easier:
alias 7x='7z x'
alias untar='tar -xvf'
alias untargz='tar -xvzf'
alias untarxz='tar -xf'
alias ux='unrar x'
and for zip files it's just unzip
Modern
tar
handles all of those withtar xf
Wouldn't '7z x' handle all of the above as well?
Sort of.
7z x
on a.tar.gz
(or.tar.xz
) gives you a.tar
. If you don't mind running7z x
again on that tar, it worksThanks for the tip!
