Add "Flat ZIP" preset to sub context menu in Windows #219

Description

@piyushjaiswal2bytes

Feature Request

Add a new context menu option in Windows Explorer's right-click submenu for 7-Zip called "Add a Flat ZIP".

Behavior:

  • When selected, this option should:
    • Open the selected folder
    • Select all contents (equivalent to Ctrl + A)
    • Invoke 7-Zip > Add to archive
    • Set the following automatically:
      • Format: ZIP
      • Compression: Store (0)
      • Archive Name: Use the name of the selected folder (e.g., FolderName.zip)
  • The process and resulting archive should be exactly as if these manual steps were performed in sequence.

Motivation:

  • Streamlines the workflow for quickly creating non-compressed ZIP archives from a folder.
  • Saves time and reduces manual steps.

References:

  • Similar behavior as manual selection and context menu -> 7-Zip -> Add to archive.
  • Requested for enhanced user convenience.
