I added 7-Zip (7z.exe) to my list of Unpackers in Unpack Dialog Box

When I use it (Alt+F9) the default file mask is *.*

7-Zip requires the file mask to be * in order to unpack all files (*.* means the file must contain a dot character, a file like README will not be extracted; Windows itself uses a dirty (in-)compatibility hack to provide old DOS behaviour).

Is there any way to specify the default file mask for the unpacker (and accordingly for packers also) such that I do not have to remember to change the provided pattern each time I use this unpacker?

You cannot specify the default mask, but you can easily ignore this mask (not to use variables $(ListFullName) and $(ListDOSFullName)).

BTW, 7zip archives are handled also by 7zip plugin.
