7zip has no Move command?

I just found that 7-zip, which is a great zipping tool with command line support, does not have a Move command. Never had, still hasn’t.

The semantics of Move should be: Add to archive, and Delete from filesystem if successfully added.

From this description it’s obvious that it’s close to impossible to achieve this functionality in a batch file.

Is there an online petition page for stuff like this? :)

    I’m want this too…. very good and useful option for extrating files without checking errors, u just have to check if the source file is still exists.
