|
<P>If you don't specify a
|
||
|
|
<A class="parameter" href="#new_archive_name"><I>!{new_archive_name}</I></A> option, then
|
||
|
|
all options will refer to the main archive (the archive assigned on the command line after the 7z command).
|
||
|
|
If you specify <A class="parameter" href="#new_archive_name"><I>!{new_archive_name}</I></A>
|
||
|
|
option, then 7-Zip also will create a new archive with the specified name and all options
|
||
|
|
will refer to that new archive.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>Multiple update switches are supported.
|
||
|
|
7-Zip can create any number of new archives during one operation.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>By default, the action set for each new archive is assigned
|
||
|
|
as the action set of the main command. There are 3 different
|
||
|
|
action sets for commands: <A href="../commands/add.htm">a (Add)</A>,
|
||
|
|
<A href="../commands/delete.htm">d (Delete)</A>,
|
||
|
|
<A href="../commands/update.htm">u (Update)</A>.
|
||
|
|
You can overload any <state_action> pair.</P>

<H4>Time zone notes</H4>
|
||
|
|
<P>If you change time zone (when you move your computer to another time zone
|
||
|
|
or if there are clock changes for daylight saving in your zone), you can have some problems
|
||
|
|
with update commands that depend from file's modification time. It's strongly recommended to use only
|
||
|
|
file system that uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and archive format that also uses UTC.
|
||
|
|
In that case you will have no problems with time zone changes.
|
||
|
|
Also it's recommended to use only UTC formats in other cases, for example, if you send files to
|
||
|
|
someone in another time zone.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>Also in some cases there are no problems, if both file system and archive format use local time, for example, FAT file system and ZIP format.</P>
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>UTC file systems: NTFS
|
||
|
|
<LI>UTC archive formats: .zip with -mtc switch, 7z, tar, gzip2, iso, wim
|
||
|
|
<LI>Local time file systems : FAT, FAT32
|
||
|
|
<LI>Local time archive formats : rar, zip, cab
