[Request] Add XZ option to ZIPs

[Shivansps]

Hi,
i wanted to ask if it is possible to add XZ compression option to zips, with selection of both dictionary size and block size. This is already possible with the 7z cmdline utility (-tzip -mm=xz) and -md -mcc for selecting dic size and block size. But it was never added to the UI because it is an unusual method, altrought it is one of the officially supported methods in zips (95).

You could add it to Parameters like here:

@Shivansps - is the parameters thing okay for you?
I would like to close this issue then.

@mcmilk, I'm not sure if I should open an issue with a request, but I'd really love to see that 7-Zip ZS saves and loads Parameters for each Compression method separately when you use GUI. Currently I have to have a TXT opened to set parameters for LZMA2 and FLZMA2 by hand whenever I switch (it happens often) because not all parameters are supported by both and not all values are the same. I see 7-Zip ZS creates separate keys at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\7-Zip-Zstandard\Compression\Options\7z\FLZMA2 and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\7-Zip-Zstandard\Compression\Options\7z\LZMA2 and saves last settings there, but it's 7-Zip ZS File Manager that doesn't retrieve those values (specifically Parameters) when you switch between Compression methods when creating an archive.

And speaking of GUI, maybe you could kindly find time to fix a long-standing bug of File Manager. The File Manager's status bar columns width for file count and file size do not increase dynamically to display whole value when used in Windows 10 or 11 with UI scaling at 200%. This results in values being cut off:

It makes quick comparing of files and other quick operations very inconvenient.

Finally, as improvements go, maybe you could incorporate back-forward mouse button support for navigation as introduced by @Florin9doi here.
