7Zip plugin as default archive program

Hello,
I think it would be a nice feature if I could select my prefered archive program (7Zip) to pack and unpack archives with freeCommander. I think there is no possibility for this, am I wrong?

WCX plugins support

I happen to come across an open source program called "Double Commander". It is written in Lazarus(Freepascal) and it has WCX packer plugins/WFX plugins support. maybe the code there is helpful to speed up the implementation.

It would be nice to be able to select packer. I would like to be able to use rar by default (will mean you need a rar license), but it works in TotalCommander.

I don't see any comment on this.
It's possible and already done as in Double Commander.

But is it planned ?

Should be top priority as FC is created as a free replacement for TC.
Other types of plugins (WFX more than WDX) would be also handy but WCX is IMHO critical.

+1 here too, a plugin for 7zip is already available in wcx, maybe someone could recode it to wlx? so we can see the contents in quickview or extract it.

Support this suggestion! 7z plugin must be very popular~

+1 WFX, imho more important than WCX.

ext2fs, wincefs, procfs :)) mmm

Compressor tools it's ok-ish to use external ones, especially since 7z opens anything and can drag-and-drop or cmdline do commands. But filesystems are a different issue...
