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
Unsolved Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

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

Hi @ZebraPower
Could you send us a sample archive? Let’s take a look at it.you can attach it here or send to support at conexware dot com and we’ll take a look
Thanks!

@mili Probably easier to just see the code?
https://github.com/facebook/zstd

PeaZip has it implemented: https://peazip.github.io/zstandard-compression-utility.html (also FOSS software) that may be of help.

Both github pages appear to be about a compression method rather than an archive file format.

just fyi, we have had support for zstd inside .pa and .zip formats for years now.
-
I should be more clear. I received a tar.zst archive and PA won’t open it. I’ll install peazip, solely to make an archive, and send it in like asked.
-
Easier for me to share this as an example actually:
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/download/v1.5.2/zstd-1.5.2.tar.zst
I can’t open this file in PA, but WinRAR/PeaZip work.
-
I see that in PA 2023 tar.zst archives are supported. Thank you.

Thanks very much for your assistance @zebrapower !!
