More flexible setup of Packers' window

I and i think many people, don't use packers which you can see on screenshot. Rar, zip, 7z, sometimes tar.

So, maybe it's time to allow users to change packers which show in that window?

I mean, i rather see zip, rar, 7z, list and copytree. I often use 7z, copytree and list, but never used before tar, ace, etc.

Do you understand my idea?

I never pack to any packer from radiobuttons (except maybe ZIP which is required in rare cases) but I pack to some custom packers (e.g. CopyTree and DiskDirExtended) so I support custom packers buttons in right pane of pack dialog.

Of course I would support custom command with packer type argument much strongly.

Just a list or dropdown would do. For every packer that is capable of packing there could be an option in settings to display the packer or not.

Is it suggestion for Glisler or help for me? If i can turn showing off - i couldn't find there. I just see the pale radiobuttons for plugins which i don't have, but i don't want to see them, coz i never used and never will use it.

A suggestion. I mean radio buttons are difficult when used dynamically as you need to find unique mnemonics for them - almost impossible. In listboxes and dropdowns you get almost the same functionality for free.
