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

Optimize archive doesn’t seem to work right yet anyway. 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.

@brian-gregory Thanks for the warning, currently I had only used it for .7z archives since if I remember when the feature was added to it, in the release notes on the site it was talking about 7z archives so I assumed it only worked for those.

@werve Ah. 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.

@brian-gregory I found the sentence mentioned at https://www.powerarchiver.com/news/
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.
