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
Compress files open by another application

Sometimes I have to compress log files, which are
open for writing by the corresponding application.
This is possible with Winzip, which only gives me a
warning, but PowerArchiver skip the files.
Should be possible to set the behaviour and compress
the files in there current state. -
Yes, I also really need this option, to compress my K9 Antispam directory, which also have some LOG files, which are not able to be packed with PA, because they are in use :(
-
they are working on this option backing up or archiveing files in use. can you aid by giving your system info.

I think no system info are needed.
Everyone can test it by himself.
Just play a MP3 File and try to compress it with PA.
PA refuse to do so. But with WinRAR this is possible, if the option (try to compress files in use" is selected in WinRAR -
I vote for this wish. Very important indeed.

I agree.
