Feature Request – Show Uncompressed Size of Archive Files (ZIP/RAR/7Z)

Post by wooeorbs »

Hi,

Thank you for your amazing software – Everything is a fantastic tool that I use every day.

I would like to suggest a feature that would be extremely useful for managing archive files:

**Feature request: Display and search by the uncompressed total size of archive files (.zip, .rar, .7z, etc.)**

Currently, Everything can show the compressed file size, but it would be helpful to also have access to the **total uncompressed size** of the contents inside the archive. This would allow users to:

- Compare archives based on the original data size inside
- Identify duplicates more effectively using `sizedupe:` logic for uncompressed sizes
- Sort or filter archive files by their original size (before compression)

This feature would be particularly helpful for users who manage lots of compressed backups, videos, or datasets.
