Feature description

Is it possible to somehow implement the extraction of files whose names contain characters prohibited for the Windows file system, for example ":" with their replacement by "_"? Thanks.

Hi! It is already implemented, but it is not enabled by default. You can enable the path sanitization of characters prohibited on Windows by building bit7z using the CMake option BIT7Z_PATH_SANITIZATION. When enabled (e.g., -DBIT7Z_PATH_SANITIZATION=ON), all invalid characters will be replaced by _, as in your example.
