@mpheath This is somewhat disingenuous. For certain circumstances, .zip is going to a better format than .7z, but it depends on your use case. The most obvious being where you’re compressing multiple files into one archive and wish to decompress only individual ones. This doesn’t seem terribly useful for an installation package though. In general, 7zip compresses much better (even for a single file) but is slower to compress/decompress. .7z is open source, .zip is proprietary but the format is released as an application note. Somewhat tangentially, on windows, you can use the 7 zip library to read/write a huge range of different archives and compression types.

Hi, @coises, In my opinion, this option seems more like a way of working than a delete option. So, I think this option should remain active between Notepad++ sessions. Note that it’s presently the case within the N++ Search results panel. But, of course, on re-opening N++, the N++ Search results and the Search++ Results panels are both cleared silently, before any search ! After opening Notepad+ and a first search, involving the N++ Search results or the Search Results panels, you can easily un-check that Purge option if you plan to compare multiple searches !
