Switch to image formet compatible with Etcher

[manuti]

Is possible, in future release, to switch from .7z to another format directly compatible with Etcher?

Like .zip, .gz, .bz2 or .xz

Thanks

Etcher will improve and we must upgrade to SSL on download server before making any changes ...

 

Further reasons:

 

- except .7 and .zip -> you can't add anything, security issue

- multi core compression with more files = 7z

- zip: no multicore

- .gz .bz2 and .xz = single file only

 

I hope I did not mixed up anything ...

Thanks, I also posted in Etcher github.com asking about supporting .7z files maybe having this solution is the correct way to save time flashing SD cards.
