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
Problem with relative path in PBS
-
I’ve created a PBS to archive (to a ZIP) all files in a folder and its subfolders. In the PBS, ‘Store relative folder information (not full location)’ is turned ON. The folder looks like this, conceptually:
folder
–file1
–file2
–file3
–subfolder
----file4
----file5What I want is for the ZIP file to contain this:
file1
file2
file3
subfolder
–file4
–file5But instead, the ZIP file contains this:
folder
–file1
–file2
–file3
–subfolder
----file4
----file5I’ve run this PBS both when the ‘Use normal relative path’ setting in PA itself is turned OFF and ON, and the result is the same.
Is there any way I can get the PBS to do what I want?
FWIW, when I use PA to create this ZIP “manually,” the ‘Use normal relative path’ DOES make a difference. When it’s OFF, I get the result I want. When it’s ON, the root folder gets stored in the ZIP. But that setting does not seem to affect PBS-created ZIPs.

Addendum: The same problem occurs even when the folder has no subfolder. Correction from original in red.

i guess we can apply same option as in main pa for relative paths.

Great! So are you saying that will go on the list of changes to make?

we will take an look, but you do understand that this will work if you have only single folder aded? Just like in main PA.
-
Actually, I find that the PBS does not work even if I have only a single folder added.

dont work?

By which I meant to say:
When I:
- have this file structure:
folder
–file1
–file2
–file3- Configure PA with ‘Use normal relative path’ OFF
and
- Create a PBS to backup ‘folder’ with ‘Include subfolders’ ON or OFF, and ‘Store relative folder information’ ON,
then the resulting zip file contains this:
folder
–file1
–file2
–file3and not this:
file1
file2

yeah, of course - it does not respect that option right now. I was just commenting that in the future, only difference would be exactly that situation that you are commenting :-)
