<![CDATA[Shell extensions and profiles]]>Create two compression profiles (don’t rename them):-

  1. Zip - Move instead of Add
  2. TAR - compression Bzip2

Close PA.
In explorer right click a file and select “Compress with options …”

For Zip format {Zip default} is offered with add not move - so not the new profile.
For TAR format {TAR default} is offered with Bzip2 - this is the new profile.

I believe both should use the new profile options.

OR both should use the default (not the new profile options) :confused:

profile options do not (or should not) influence default settings.

OK, but if I change to use the “new” profile - this does not stay active for next use, so I have to select it every time.
@spwolf:

However, if you have changed it previously, it will stay on previously used setting?

Yes, if I change the settings (leaving the default profile active) - this does stay active for next use. So, I guess that is workable ;)
Just felt wrong to change the default profile settings instead of using a created profile as the active one - maybe that should be in wishlist.
