    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?
    A

    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 :)

    Optimize archive on Context Menu
    W

    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

      an option in the options menu where you can directly set up which viewer should be used if you click View button.

      Currently you just can choose, if you have activate the option “Prompt when View button is pressed”

        There is an option -
        Configuration / Program Locations / Viewer.

        The “prompt” option then allows selecting PA Internal / Configured / System Default

        Do you mean you want to pre-configure different viewers depending on file type?
        e.g.

        • ViewerA for graphic files
        • ViewerB for text files
        • ViewerC for pdf files
          etc

          I think this would be difficult, because of the large amount of file types

          It would be enough if you could make a preselection directly in the optionsmenu for

          • internal Viewer
          • associated program
          • user defined viewer

            Sorry, I still don’t understand what you are asking for :-

            With “Prompt when View button is pressed” NOT activated

            1. User defined viewer - entry in Configuration / Program Locations / Viewer

            2. If no entry in Configuration / Program Locations / Viewer then PA uses its internal viewer.

            3. Use Associated Program instead of a viewer - that is done via Double Click of filename inside PA window (not pressing View).

            With “Prompt when View button is pressed” IS activated

            • click View and PA allows you to select from the three above options.

                @davidsplash:

                … why do we really need an internal viwer…

                Well, normally using associated applications would lauch an application which can do other things besides just show the contents. Remember the problems caused by the simple change to file extensions caused by the ILOVEYOU “virus” (.txt.vbs).

                If everyone used a simple file viewer for email attachments as well as archive contents, it would have made this a non-event.

                By default graphic files (gif jpeg) are associated with InterNet Explorer. This opens you to various virus/trojan attacks. And the various “helper objects” such as .scr/.vbs files are even more likely to be dangerous.

                Using a simple viewer which cannot/does not perform any running/launching of the file is usually much quicker, safer and less wasteful of system resources.
