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
Tabbed interface

A tabbed interface would be a great plus!
I’ve searched all over the internet for a compression program with such feature. Only BitZipper has it, but it has some bugs.

yes this would be great

I agree, tabs are awesome and make handling many archives much easier and cleaner. Please implement this if you can.

I agree, this would be a nice feature. :)

if someone explains to me why exactly is this an great feature, we will consider it. Archives are not text files. You dont have to keep them opened at the same time. You extract and compress as fast as you can and then you are gone!
Even if you have to have 3 of them opened at the same time, because you are editing files inside or what not, having tab interface would be clumsy in a sense that you will be able to see only one archive at the time.
While it would be an nice marketing, it will also take time to implement and test, which means it would be one of the major additions to the new PA 2007.
Keep in mind that if we implement this, we wont have time to do some other major features, we cant do everything at the same time.
So, lets see the argument. One sentence wont do it :-).

It could be beneficial in opening one tab (or more) as an Explorer tab and dragging and dropping files. Or, if you were able to open more than one archive at a time and perform operations on each.

and how do you perform operations on each, when you can only have one open at any time? At the same time, you can have several PA separate windows opened…

If you mean “dragging and dropping” to create/add files to an archive, then why not use windows explorer and drag/drop into PA window (open archive)?
To me windows are better (read more “logical”) than tabs for this function. -
I agree with spwolf…a tabbed interface would just add some bells&whistles to PA, without introducing any really useful functionality.
The only thing would be a more compact gui when more archives are opened.
