Summary: Give an indication of the properties of each
compression algorithm

A menu in PeaZip showing which options have high compression and which are fast
SUMMARY
When creating an archive, Ark offers several archive formats and compression
algorithms, but gives no help about which to choose. Some extra information
could be given in the menu, like PeaZip does (see attached screenshot), or
perhaps a help button nearby. The compression/decompression speed and a rough
idea of compression ratio is the key information here, but some algorithms
could have an extra note about compatibility with other software, or whether
they are especially well suited to a particular type of file, etc.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Ark
2. Click New Archive
3. Open the Type: menu and imagine you don't know anything about compression
algorithms
OBSERVED RESULT
No help with choosing an archive type
EXPECTED RESULT
Some help with choosing an archive type
