![]() So far, I have managed to workaround this issue by using a virtual machine and simply suspending it, but I think on a technical level nothing would prevent 7zip from being able to grab its current state and save it somewhere, then load it later and continue where it left off. Other times you absolutely need to power it down because for example there is an unforeseen power grid maintenance planned etc. Sometimes you need to reboot your PC - update a driver or even the infamous windows update. The reason is simple - using the best compression settings can result in incredibly long compression times (I've had some compressions of highly compressible "incremental backup" datasets last ~2 weeks. Being able to pause compression, store current progress (the in-memory dictionary + current progress) to some temporary file and then resume. In short - ability to "hibernate" compression progress. I am very happy that you have extended the maximum dictionary size! With it though, I have one "feature request" or feature for consideration, which I think none of the other compression software has, that would be quite awesome to have.
