Is there a 7zip or winzip command to use so that the compression avoids thumbs.db files?

For 7zip,-x is the file exclusion option switch.

7z.exe a test.7z C:test* -r -x!thumbs.db

See Excluding Files at the following link.

  • I needed this for .DS_Store on MacOS X, but what I didn't realize I needed every time was `-r`, which is the secret sauce here. Thanks! – ZiggyTheHamster Jan 02 '13 at 19:40
