![]() ![]() The built in zip support is an example of that already. Stuff that gets "integrated" into Windows gets stripped down and made incredibly basic, such that it is crap compared to almost any other product of it's ilk. zip files? one each maybe? How should users know which to use? Why ask? It's a piece of technical overflow where technical implementation details overflow into the user interface.Īlso, you think you want it integrated, but, you don't. Would there be to "send to" items for Compressed Folder (LZMA) and Compressed Folder (DEFLATE)? Would they be 7-zip files or. Having both integrated would be bad design since both would need to be accessible. Zip can use LZMA and LZMA2 (xz) and be a solid archive too, though, so really the question of 7-zip versus zip is really just comparing container formats with different default settings. ![]() That sort of scheme would be very expensive processing-wise to integrate.ħ-zip can use DEFLATE to apply per-file, but that's basically making a zip file inside a 7-zip container. Instead of launching a separate program associated with ZIP files, instead the zip files open in their own File Explorer Window, and conceptually it appears to the user as if they are just navigating a folder. The way zip is integrated currently is through the concept of "Compressed folders". A solid archive is where the entire archive is compressed as one unit retrieving a file from the archive requires decompressing everything in the archive. 7-zip for example can get you better compression, but at the cost of both additional processing time, as well as being what is known as a "solid archive". 7-Zip and Zip have some trade offs when choosing one over the other.
