7-Zip in Breadstick
Breadstick note
Debian 13's 7zip package is built from the 7-Zip project's own source, version 25.01, with 7z, 7za and 7zr. With Device files granted, an archive in Android's Downloads folder is at ~/Downloads in Linux.
Breadstick runs Debian's own 7zip package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so 7-Zip should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
7z7za7zrp7zip
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Archivers work with files in your Linux home folder and, once Device files is granted, in your Android folders too, such as a file in Android's Downloads. More in the docs: The Terminal.
