Make txz great again! ;-)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I'm using the Mac version, currently in MacOS 10.11.
I've discovered the xz/txz format thanks to Keka, but for some unknown reason, txz has been replaced by tar.xz after a while.
txz is natively supported by MacOS, which makes it a format of choice. I see that renaming tar.xz files to txz works, so why bother with a double-extension?

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow the user to choose between txz and tar.xz, preferably in the prefs — or when saving a file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• changing the extension to txz when saving a file, but it doesn't work.
• Renaming tar.xz files to txz in the Finder. But that makes an additional boring step.

Additional context

All the other compression tools I've tried support txz, so why bother with tar.xz if not for compatibility reasons?

You can already do that executing this command in the Terminal.app:

defaults write com.aone.keka UseLongTarballExtension false

Remember to restart Keka. I'm adding an option in 1.2.12 anyway, that option should have been there since 1.2.0 😳

Wonderful! Thanks. :-)

Sorry it was false, not true:

defaults write com.aone.keka UseLongTarballExtension false

1.2.12 released with this option in the Preferences 😊

Thanks! :-)
