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
Idea to save questions
-
it wold be nice as it happened rectly to list the pros and cons of each archive format on this website.
This is cause you recently had a person ask a question about cab files only to find he had reached the cab file size limit.
I know that there is limits to many formats that if only listed could save a lot of questions about them.

nice idea, maybe we can find some useful google links

the pros and cons
Or at least the limitations (cons?).
Even better, include all this information in the Help file.
Updating as support changes in PowerArchiver (and PACL).Then everyone would know - not just those who come here.

here are 2 good websites

Yes, unforunately, neither site gives the format specific “pros and cons” davidsplash referred to. Nor do they cover all the formats available in PA.
