Compression
Choose a default compression format. If you compress a folder and intend to open it on other platforms, such as Windows or Linux, check the “Don’t compress Invisible files and Resource forks” option – this way your archive won’t contain the Finder’s .DS_Store files or anything of the kind.

Contextual Menu
The right-click menu in Path Finder is fully customizable. To customize the right-click menu:
- choose “Contextual Menu” in pop-up in the right upper corner
- drag the available commands from the left column to the right column
You can also customize the “Action” menu, which appears in the Menu Bar, if the option “Show menu icon” in Preferences > General is enabled. Follow the same procedure as above, but choose “Action menu” in the pop up at the right corner instead.
