Move ZIP functions to the first-level right-click menu

Please place the ZIP menu directly in the first-level right-click menu of XYplorer. The ZIP decompression feature is used very frequently. This change can simplify operations and eliminate the need to access secondary menus. I hope this optimization can be implemented.

I don't know why you're not seeing it, but ZIP and 7-ZIP are there on a right-click using XY v28.30.0500

Reply: Enabling the 64-bit hidden right-click menu will display numerous redundant right-click options from other software, which are all unnecessary. That’s why I prefer to use the native right-click menu of XYplorer, as it is neat and concise. The only inconvenience is that ZIP-related operations are hidden in the secondary menu. Therefore, I want to expand the ZIP submenu and display all its functions directly on the primary right-click menu. Is this achievable? Please provide a corresponding adjustment method if possible. Thank you.

85152727@qq.com it's partially achievable. 7-zip is a separate app that has noting to do with native XY context menu, but XY has Zip >> Tools | Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | [x] Custom items in the context menu > File List > enable Zip = this will appear in top of native XY menu.
For 7-zip you have several ways to add that functionality other way: via scripted menu with command line switches for 7z + User Button on toolbar or User Defined Command with shortcut. That will work not from a context menu, but you'll be able to same select items and click button/shortcut.
