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
Intelligent Compression & Auto Sorting
-
One feature I would like to see in the next version would be what I would call “Intelligent Archiving”
Basically when the user selects a folder to compress PA scans the file types within that location and depending on default or customized parameters it compresses the contents using the best or selected method for those types.Ie; If I have a folder that has 5 Word Documents and 6 Spreadsheets but with 1 Video it would compress the folder using Zip or 7zip as they are two of the best methods of compressing the more common file types those being xls & doc.
An additional option that I would integrate would be Intelligent sorting. For example, if I have a folder that contains Multiple file types such as XLS, doc, HTML, MP3 etc. On selection during compression PowerArchiver will create a sub folder titles for each format ieSpreadsheets - xls
Word Documents - doc
Websites - HTML
Media – MP3Or depending on a users settings it could be
Documents – xls, doc
Websites - html
Music – mp3The auto sorting option would be a nice addition to backup and ftp as users could archive and upload to wherever they want files depending on their file type or personalised description instead of the original folders hierarchy.

we already have Optimized method, and this is what it does :-). It selects proper algorithm to compress specific file types :).

I understand that part :) but what I am asking for is a section for user customizable optimization.
The auto sort into folder categories would also be a nice addition to the PA Flagship.
