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
Tests on what archive format to use
-
it would be nice to have a rough list of tests to tell us what archive format to use as on image files music etc. it would help the novice user.

in most cases you should use 7ZIp for high compression ratio
if you want to distribute something you should use ZIP for compatibility reasons

SFX Archives (ZIP or CAB)
because PA can create ZIP - archives,
which are not supported by all archivers…
I recommend using CAB SFX, because
“With CAB format, you can get much better compression rates than ZIP format.”Thanks!
