  • Etcher version: 1.0.0-beta14
  • Operating system and architecture: OS X 10.10

I looked through documentation, issues and finally code and could not find support for .7z archives. Is there a specific reason why it’s missing (7-zip being LGPL)?

Lets close this for now, as it turns out to be very difficult to find 7-zip implementations we can use.

whilst it is still a wrapper for the binaries, it looks to be self-contained.

I’m not an Etcher developer, but don’t forget that it needs to run on 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Linux, 64-bit Linux and macOS. https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases
