Description:
Please put back the 7zFM into the p7zip package. Mentioned alternatives don't offer the same functionalities present in the compression wizard (accessible through file manager right click menu) such as setting compression level, setting thread count, archive splitting, testing and encrypting them. Thanks!

Additional info:
p7zip 9.38.1-3
This task depends upon

Is it possible to create a seperate package for 7zFM GUI ?

a 7zFM package could be the solution, an optional package for the p7zip package,

it's not normal to remove 7zFM GUI in p7zip package, because this GUI is very important for some advanced compression options, it's more easy to use 7z with a GUI

Sorry, the GUI is not something I want to support (e.g. investigating issues like  FS#44280 ) and thus will remain unpackaged.

For simple extraction or compression there are alternative GUIs; for more advanced options you'll have to use the CLI program.
