Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats? Its structure is similar to MS Office 2007 documents and Open Document Format. It is a ZIP Deflate archive with XML data and some JPG, and/or PNG pictures inside. Otherwise, if I try to compress .3MF it bearly makes it smaller unless I recompress .3MF to the Store setting then it makes it a lot smaller.
Wish they all would move to 7zip ZSTD in the first place so that the optimized file size with FileOptimizer would be 50% of the ZIP Deflate version. And there would be no extra compression needed :)
I noticed that the option to add the optimize archive function to the context menu is missing on Windows 10.
Opening each archive with the interface in order to click it becomes tedious with many files.
Same for others functions like Remove Archive Encryption

WinRAR has a similar function. WOuld be great if Powerarchiver would also have such a function -
Interesting idea - I’m curious how something like this might work. Does it guess based on filetype (maybe keeping a history of previous compressions to get better estimates over time)? Maybe it compresses a 2K sample or so to get an estimate.

the answer is simple in winrar the estimate feature is based on the rar format and that alone, thats how they can work out the estiimate levels of compression based on the total size of the files and the rar format.
pa could have one that can estimate the best possible format to use for the formats avaliable basied on whether you wnated to update the files etc.
I would like to see this happen.
I have seen a program from japan that can actually compress files into a zip into differnt formats basied on the best compression avaliable for that format.
this is what i would like pa to do is to have this option avaliable.
