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
Shell Ext. - Creating SFX

Can you add a new option to Shell Ext. menu (for archives)
e. g. “Create self-extracting archive + Options” ?It should work like standart “Create self-extracting zip”
but before creating EXE
it must show “PA SelfExtractor” dialog
(like PA main wnd > Actions menu > Make EXE file")
or SFX Wizard
(tools menu > SFX Wizard)As for me , Make EXE dialog is better then the Wizard
But you can add an option to the Configuration Dialod
so users can select what they want to use:
dialog or Wizard -
I support this idea ;)

at the moment if you come across a zip or cab file ythe shell extensions if selected will give you the option to creat a sfx file.
what i think you want is to be able to sauy zip or cab in one go to a sfx file even if you don’t have a archive already

Sorry, maybe I don’t understamd your reply properly…
I want to be able to set advansed SFX options (like Overwrite options, default extraction directory, sfx caption etc) when creating EXE file with shell extensions…
Thanks, :)
-
now i understand you want more advance features with the sfx shell extensions we already have avaliable.
-
Yes
With current “Create Self-Extracting zip/cab” option in shell extensions
we can convert archives to sfx without setting up any options… -
Just came across this post, and I wasn’t confused at all:
- the current shell extension does not let you set any of the important options for a SFX like the Default “UnZip To” Folder which are possible in the interface driven method to create the EXE
I would definitely like to see this improvement in the shell extension to create SFX as well. Whatever default options are being used this way are things I would never actually use unless I was only ever creating and recreating the same exact SFX :rolleyes:.
