    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?
    A

    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 :)

    Optimize archive on Context Menu
    W

    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

      When I choose to extract a 7-Zip file through Shelll extension “Extract here” and the original folder exists indeed, there would be a dialog asking me for the confirmation of overwriting “EVERY” existing file. It is quite annoying that if there are thousands of file that would mean I have to say Yes for thousands times. Also the dialog does not follow the look and feel of the Windows setting which looks so strange indeed.

      I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

      (Probably the first bug reported for Beta 4? ;))

        Even worse is that… I clicked Yes for several times and soon think it’s time to stop it, then I choose “Cancel” for the next file. PA just loops itself to die and remains showing the extraction window. (Yeh, the window is still there when I am typing this article ;)) I have to manually kill to the process through task manager.

              I tried this - 7z archive (55MB) containing 5795 files in 527.
              Clicking YES to overwrite 3 times, then CANCEL

              Extraction window “hung” for about 10 seconds (the dialogue window closes but the extraction window did not redraw or update), but then it closed - or better to say it just disappeared.

                Before use “Extract here” from shell I always delete the folder, but I think PA should handle this better…

                  Hi,

                  is the cancel process the same as if you cancelled from ongoing 7zip extraction? (does it take time?)

                  as to the “issue”, I guess you want an new feature “All”? We can take a look if we can implement it for 7zip.

                  thanks,

                    I can cancel ongoing 7-Zip extraction. But that time cancelling by “Cancel” button in the confirmation dialog just failed. However, I can’t reproduce it now. :(

                    Yes. I treat it as bug since I think PA should behave the same in handling different archive format. If “All” is implemented in ZIP profile, I think it should be also offered in 7-Zip Profile, as both are the mainstream format provided by PA.

                      All feature is not shown, since Delphi has problems running multi-thread DLLs and we have some limitations in using WinAPI functions - right now we cannot have ALL button.

                        How about the dialog interface? It seems not following the Windows look and feel. (I’m using default Luna UI in WindowsXP, at least the buttons shouldn’t be like that classic feel)

                            Yet another limitation of Delphi? That’s a pity… :(

                              There HAS to be a better way of overcoming the problem. And if not, then why use Delphi if its got such pathetic limitations?

                                    Well… what you could do… If it lets you… Hold hown Ctrl or Shift whenever you click “Yes”… In windows, that automatically makes it a “Yes to All” selection…
