Would it be feasible to modify the File callback to skip a file?

The return type from the File callback is void. It would great if this could be changed to bool so that you could tell 7-Zip to skip processing that file. Of course the 7-Zip API may not support that. I'm not sure if it could somehow be handled by bit7z instead, in that case.

Currently, the only way to skip extracting a file is through the progress callback, which requires returning a boolean (true means continue, false stop).
Then, you can use both the progress and the file callbacks to achieve your desired behavior.

A file callback returning a boolean might be handy and would simplify your use case. However, it would also be a breaking change in the current API, which I didn't plan. I need to evaluate whether it's the case to implement it before releasing the stable v4; otherwise, it would require a new major release (I'm trying to follow the semantic versioning).

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Skipping a file was more of a "nice to have" for me. I can certainly work around not having that.
