New Options for 7zip Compression

It would be interesting if we could add parameters to the executed 7z command line, or even have the option to use more specific parameters like “-mqs,” which improves overall compression by grouping files with the same extension together. Additionally, the “-mmf=bt5” parameter alters the dictionary algorithm to be more efficient with highly compressible files such as databases or text files. I’ve conducted various tests at my workplace, and these options significantly reduce backup file sizes in different scenarios.

Having native options would greatly assist in configuring this, or perhaps a place in the task where we could add these additional commands for 7zip.

Thanks for the excellent tool; I’ve been using it for a long time! 😊
