    Description

      I couldn't find an exact rule that causes this incorrect behavior, but I tried to reduce it to some simple scenarios to reproduce it:

      Input: A folder with certain files -> tried to archive it.
      If the folder contains more than 7 files the incorrect behavior appears.

      Scenario 1: 7 empty files
      Result: The created archive contains a single folder entry with the name of the archive (no matter which was the name of the file)

      Scenario 2: 7 files, some empty, some with content
      Result: The created archive contains a folder entry with the name of the archive and a number of file entries also with the name of the archive. The number of the entries is equal to the number of non empty files.

      Scenario 3: 8 empty files
      Result: 7zip Manager cannot open archive and stops working.

      Scenario 4.1: 8 files: some empty, some with content, last file (alphabetically) with content
      Result: same behavior as described for Scenario 2.

      Scenario 4.2: 8 files, some empty, some with content, last file empy
      Result: archive is corrupt, the following message is received: "Cannot open file 'archivename.7z' as archive" (7Zip Manager does not crash).
