<![CDATA[Optimize archive on Context Menu]]>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

Optimize ZIP/7z/PA archives– PowerArchiver 2021 will optimize your archive for better compression. The same archive will be optimized without an additional archive created.

Maybe it does only work for 7z. It does look like it tries to work for .tar.gz, but something goes wrong. But who knows what is intended.

For instance, it completely mangles .tar.gz files so that if you haven’t kept the original you’ve lost your data, it turns .zip files into LZMA .zipx files that are named .zip and so on.
