## Feature
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I tried to make a new archive made of ~ 30k files (mp3s, videos and images). The archive manager showed a progress indicator, but it didn't move, staying all the time at 1%. It seems that the software is initializing, and not starting to compress files.
So I decided to try with another application. It's seems a bit more mature application, so I decided to configure it as the default archive manager. This is not possible at the moment from settings > application panel

the default archive manager, stuck at 1% forever

The other application, where the progress bar it's working, and other useful informations are shown.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
At first place, I'd say that the default archive manger is a bit too basic, but that is fine.
What about adding the default archive manager selection in the application settings panel ?
**Existing work**
none
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Maybe adding some features to the archive manager (if it is an internal project!) :
- Progress dialog: elapsed / remaining time - compressed files / remaining files - Throughput rate
- Selector for compression rate
- Improve the navigation between the archive folders with breadcrumbs (same behaviour of files)
