   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Just a quick follow-up on this (in case someone else is also adjusting their   
   archiver configurations, and to write it down) --   
      
   On 03 Aug 2021, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...   
    BW>    Pack Cmd ³ arj a -e -i -y "%1" "%2"   
    BW>  Unpack Cmd ³ arj e -e -i -y -w"%3" "%1" "%2"   
    BW>    View Cmd ³ arj l -i -y "%1" >> "%3%2" 2> /dev/null; exit $? >>   
      
   Those should be:   
      
     Pack Cmd ³ arj a -e -i -y "%1" "%2" >>   
   Unpack Cmd ³ arj e -e -i -y -w"%3" "%1" "%2" >>   
     View Cmd ³ arj l -i -y "%1" >> "%3%2" 2> /dev/null; exit $? >>   
      
   Note the added >> to chain with Mystic's addition of /dev/null etc.   
   Otherwise arj will interpret /dev/null as an additional filename.   
      
    BW>      Pack Cmd ³ 7z a -y "%1" "%2"   
    BW>    Unpack Cmd ³ 7z e -y -o"%3" "%1" "%2"   
    BW>      View Cmd ³ 7z l -ba -y "%1" >> "%3%2" 2> /dev/null; exit $? >>   
      
   Those should be:   
      
      Pack Cmd ³ 7z a -ba -y "%1" "%2" >>   
    Unpack Cmd ³ 7z e -ba -y -o"%3" "%1" "%2" >>   
      View Cmd ³ 7z l -ba -y "%1" >> "%3%2" 2> /dev/null; exit $? >>   
      
   Note the added -ba to get rid of CPU stats etc, and >> to chain with Mystic's   
   addition of /dev/null etc. Otherwise 7z will interpret /dev/null as an   
   additional filename.   
      
   All this makes me wonder if the other archivers would need the same thing   
   (>>)? Or if perhaps this should have been added by Mystic instead?   
      
   I found the following in whatsnew.txt:   
      
    + When executing archives, MUTIL in Unix will now automatically append   
      " /dev/null 2>&1" to the end of each archive execution command in order   
      to hide standard output and error messages.  It was already adding "2>nul"   
      in Windows.   
      
   Perhaps this should have been ">> /dev/null 2>&1" instead?   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
