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
Don't discard file metadata
-
It would be good of PowerArchiver retained the metadata of files when they get compressed (just like WinRAR does) rather than discarding all of it.
I use metadata extensively to label and categorise my files (using the Summary tab within Windows Explorer file manager) however as soon as you compress these files with PowerArchiver, all of the information that I spent time adding gets stripped off. This means that when you subsequently extract the file, the metadata information associated with that file is no longer there.
I did search the PowerArchiver options page just in case there was a setting for this, but I couldn’t find anything relevant.
