if CLI 7-zip supports it, then probably GUI 7-zip will also support it![]()

Yeah, 7-zip is POS and it sucks, that's why it is one of the world's best and most renowned compression software.

Hm.. you must have a "tweaked" 7Z version.
The GUI uses BCJ2 by default for .exe/.dll/.. files in the higher compression modes like "ultra" :
To prove it, I compressed the exe "freearc.exe" using the GUI in "ultra" mode to "freearc.7z".
Here is what 7z.exe says about the archive :
Code:> 7z l -slt freearc.7z 7-Zip 4.65 Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov 2009-02-03 Listing archive: FreeArc.7z Method = LZMA BCJ2 Solid = - Blocks = 1 Physical Size = 808672 Headers Size = 177 ---------- Path = FreeArc.exe Size = 3429376 Packed Size = 808495 Modified = 2009-10-21 19:44:38 Attributes = ....A CRC = 57C19D63 Encrypted = - Method = BCJ2 LZMA:22 LZMA:20 LZMA:20 Block = 0
I know it's an old thread, but the 7-zip manual even gives you the exact syntax to force bcj2 use in the gui:
It's right there on the page when you press the Help button, how could you miss it?Parameters
Allows you to specify parameters for compression. See the -m (Method) switch description for more details. Omit the -m prefix (as in -m switch) when using this dialog box.
Examples
uses PPMd method for compressing files.Code:0=PPMd
uses BCJ2 filter (for x86 executables) and LZMA.Code:0=bcj2 1=lzma:d23 2=lzma 3=lzma b0:1 b0s1:2 b0s2:3
All it doesn't give you is syntax for forcing bcj2 on only specific files, that's a lot more complex, and it's not possible to use on partial files yet.
i think you should take care of how you words thing about here.
failing to read the help file and then blaming the author in this harsh way from you own fail is not the way to make helping "friends" around this forum or pretty much anywhere else.
adjust you attitude to a bit more humble approach.
read what i said ... i dont want to add a syntax for use it. i want it will be in GUI as option like other option. so how does ur answer solve my problem ?
- they have so many problem too add their alardy stupid gui another option name: bcj2\bcj ???
-- i also read this help file ... it's not help me so much BZC i don't want use CMD line for compress i want to use GUI

The best way to solve your problem, I think, is to post your problem in 7-zip forum. We don't know too much about compression actually. Or you can write the letter directly to Igor, but don't forget to include all the words you used here and you'll succeed.
my comment vas never meant to address your stated problem.
it was to address you attitude, which is a way bigger problem for you, to get you problems solved.
There is no way on Earth I'm going to help a personswho shows so little respect in regards to other people works and skills.
