    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

    Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

    It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    Highlighting files and folders in Add modes
    PA_FanP

    I prefer to use light themes, and when, for example, I have set up my main archive screen to be Classic Toolbar with Blizzard Blue, files in the archive are highlighted (no checkboxes, full row select) with white text on grey background. They are easy to see .

    However, in the Add screens, the files and folders are black type upon a pale blue background, which is not so readily visible, especially when highlighting separate files in lists with Ctrl/Click for addition. It would be ideal if the backgrounds to files in these screens could be set to mimic the highlighting of those in the main archive window.

    I have tried experimenting with different themes and settings for skins, toolbars and so forth, but, unless I’ve missed something, none seem to give me the effect I want.

    .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu
    C

    Re: Windows 11 Context menu support

    It would really make me happy if you put .BH in the Windows 11 context menu. I know it’s in the “More Options” section, but this would make it more convenient. Don’t know why the option to add it to the menu isn’t there in the first place. P-L-E-A-S-E ??? :) Thanks You!

      How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files.
      For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files.
      Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.)

          @Brian-Gregory did you try compress to .PA with Ultra settings? It should support all of these formats for recompression actually.

          It is a bit slow, so it works under Ultra.

          thanks!

            I thought I was using Ultra.
            But APK doesn’t seem to be treated like a ZIP.
            I am right clicking a folder and choosing Compress to folder.pa.
            The compression profile for .pa is set for Ultra, Optimise strong.
            I have ‘Use normal relative path’ disabled.

            Later: I think it’s just .APK that isn’t treated as a .ZIP file.

              apk files still just compressed with rep1 plzma4.
              Should be treated like a zip file.

                  @Mili Yes PA extracts APK files fine. It’s just when you put them inside a .PA file is misses out on the chance to compress them better like it can with ZIP files.

                      Not yet fixed in PA 20.00.58.
                      (APK files inside PA files still not compressed very effectively)
