Hello,
I would like to know how I can identify all files that are compressed, no matter what their extension is. For example if I rename a.zip file to a.jpg file it won't be recognized as compressed file, but when I do ctrl+pgn down I can see it is a packed file.
I would like to be able to sort out all compressed files from other files. Any ideas?

Hi,
I've set up something which might also work for you:
- Install wcx plugin Total7Zip. This is actually a wrapper plugin for 7zip archiver.
- Now also add this plugin as a Content plugin via TC plugin configuration
- Define a custom columns view
- Include e.g. Total7Zip.Packed Size as a column
Using the custom view any file which is recognized by 7zip as an archive will show a value for packed size, other files will not.
Note that 7zip uses signatures for archive recognition, so e.g. MS docx files (zipped xml) are also shown as archive.
