I always get an error when using the 7z action.

When files are choosen via Wildcard (eg Z:\*.\*) it doesnt work when bzip2 is selected. Changing to 7z will work.

Bzip2 is 5 times faster, so i would like to choose bzip2;-)

btw, why it is so "complicated" to define the file names for 7z action.

I want to change all zip action to 7z, but can´t copy all included and excluded files at once.

zip action has a multiline textbox, in 7z every single line has to be edited

We don't do anything different for BZip2, if the behavior is different for it then that is down to the 7zip command line program.   
  
If you use the Action Inspector you can access the Files property and use copy paste.
