Create a .7z with a test.txt and test.docx
My .txt default editor is Notepad++
My .docx default editor is Word Version 2602 (Build 19725.20170 Click-to-run) part of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise
Tested on Microsoft Windows 11 Education N (Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200):
This works as expected (does not matter if .txt editor is already open or not):
- Open .7z archive
- Open
test.txt
- Modify it in Notepad++ and save it
- Close file and(!) editor
- Change is detected by .7z
This does also work as expected:
- But do NOT have Word already open(!)
- Open .7z archive
- Open
test.docx
- Modify it in Word and save it
- Close file and(!) Word
- Change is detected by .7z
This does NOT work as expected:
- Have Word already open(!)
- Open .7z archive
- Open
test.docx
- Modify it in Word and save it
- Close file and(!) Word
- Change is NOT detected by .7z
So changing a Word file from inside an opened archive is only detected when Word was not already open.
