tar.zst or zst Option when compressing multiple files/dirs

No ZST option anywhere, unless compressing 1 file.

engrampa --default-dir="/home/user" --add file1 file2

Package version

engrampa v1.24.2

Linux Distribution

Manjaro XFCE

@ManuLinares
engramma does not support compression of zstd type

    else if (is_mime_type (mime_type, "application/x-zstd-compressed-tar")) {
        if (is_program_available ("zstd", check_command))
            capabilities |= FR_COMMAND_CAN_READ;
    }

This may help you
zstd

I'm using "file-roller" now, the way to compress multiple files in zstd in file-roller is to select, "tar.zst" as the output. I cannot test this in engrampa

[zhuyaliang]

@ManuLinares I believe that in the near future, engrampa will also support zstd, and we have been working hard. Can I close this issue

[ManuLinares]

That is up to you, but I don't think "closing issues that are not solved" solves anything.

We better change the title to [Feature missing] or something like that.
