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
RPM Format Support

I think it’d be nice if PA added RPM file support. Just today I had an RPM file which I wanted to open to view some source files, but I had to download another archiver to be able to extract them. As far as I know this shouldn’t be a terribly difficult addition to make, I don’t think the RPM archive type is particularly complex, and it’s definitely free of charge.

So far i know RPM are Linux files.
These files are used to compile a program. I don’t think this is an compression standard.

I’m well aware of what RPMs are for, but they are basically specialized archives which also contain file based instructions for the RPM software to use when installing the program. They can also be accessed just as a regular archive.
Several Windows-based archivers already support viewing/extracting RPMS including:
(no links to other zip software please - admin - thank you)Edit: Just proving my point; several other archivers do support this (including freeware), it’s not some mystical technology.
