Details

        Optimization
In some PAK files could be found gaps in the file data - blocks of unused disk space. These gaps increasing PAK file size, but don't contain any useful data. Optimization, which can be started from PAK plugin menu, should shrink such PAK files and remove all of these gaps.

Note: If you cancel file deleting in the middle of operation it may lead to a non optimized PAK file.

        PK3 Compatibility
PK3 files coming with Quake 3 Arena are in fact ZIP files an therefore are maintained by Internal ZIP Plugin.
