    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

      Hi,

      I’d like to suggest, that the correct archive type is (always) selected, when adding files by drag & drop to an archive.

      This is already happening if the archive has the correct extension. For example, if I’m adding files to test.zip, zip will be selected. If I’m adding files to test.7z, 7z will be selected as format in “Add dialog”.

      But this won’t be working, if the archive has not the “right” extension.
      So XPI files (Firefox addons) for example are ZIP files. PowerArchiver opens them without any problems, but if I try to add file by drag & drop, PowerArchiver won’t auto select “ZIP”, but use the last selected archive format, while PowerArchiver already knows, that I’m trying to add files to a ZIP.

        I’m not sure it’s wise to allow adding by drag and drop with these “wrongly” extension-ed archives. In most cases they’re created by a specific application or downloaded in ready to use form and you won’t be wanting to add to them. If you do want to add to them you’re likely to need more control because you’ll need to add to a particular sub-directory inside them.

          For sure, you need to know, what you’re doing.
          But I’m using it on a regular basis.
          Open the file by right click, open with PowerArchiver
          Navigate to the needed folder
          Drag the file and drop it to the PowerArchiver window.

          The only problem is - when I’m clicking too fast, I get an error message, because PowerArchiver tries to compress a file in 7z format while I have a ZIP opened…

            Ah. I misunderstood what you were asking for.
            Yes that definitely should work.

              makes sense to me… @Mili will write it in… thank you!
