Zip folders in separate archive files

Zip folders in separate archives files with 7-Zip and a batch file script in Windows 11.
This productivity life hack will speed-up your work when you need to archive multiple folders.
The batch script is with the extension .bat and it will do what you tell it to.

The script shown in the video will look at all directories in the current folder (where the script is saved) and
For each sub-directory it will create a new .zip file and add all the files contained in that directory to it's zip file, then it moves to the next folder until it goes thru all the folders it found.

I think you forgot to put it in the description. So far I haven't got any bats working maybe I should update or change 7-zip versions.

Great video I'm wondering if you can help me?

I’ve tried everything!
I have 1000 folders, inside they contain JPEGs
If I select the JPEGs inside the folders and add to archive, I can then read them with any good comic viewer.

However if I wanted to save an astronomical amount of time and select all 1000 of those folders (which contain the JPEGs)
and add them to 1000 separate archives… they are unreadable
as each of those 1000s just created contain the actual folder with images inside

What I need is a archive with JUST THE JPGs NOT THE FOLDER that contains them.
I know such a .bat file exist as I had it myself but I've since lost it and unable to find it online

Folder 1 –

Files 1.jpg
2.jpg.
3.jpg and so on.

Folder 2

Files 1.jpg
2.jpg.
3.jpg and so on.

So in short I need a .bat file that can let me select multiple folders with images inside zip them up into multiple archives without the folder that actually contained the images. It’s the folders I don’t need.
