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
Version info

what i would like to see on all archivepa can create and backup files of pa, is a version header added so that i can see which version of pa has craeted that file.
This would aid in diagnosing pa version related bugs
for instance i can open backup in say one version of pa but i cant in another (only an example). if i go back to other pa version it doesnt have that problem hence the developers can identify the problem quicker.

Xobni, has a diagnoses mode, I did make a suggestion sometime ago asking if PowerArchiver had a bug mode or diagnostic.exe
But to write something like that would possibly take a while and there are so many things on the table.

such things do not exist in formats we support - or they are not used on purpose.
PA should always open file that PA created, no matter what version. If it doesnt, then it is bug and we would fix it.
-
the reason why i said this is that in the past i have created several backups with different versions of powerarchiver muddled them up and forgot which version i used to create them and they didnt work in a version of powerarchiver.
I reinoputted them time consuming but if they had verion info in them i could of checked if it was the latest verion or older version bug and then you could track down that bug more easiley
