Hi! When using the modern ribbon interface, it’s not possible to change the skin according to spwolf in this thread. Now I really like the ribbon interface, but that also mean that I can only choose between 3 color schemes in the program (blue, silver and black). I would like to have the possibility to choose from a palette of colors to create my own color scheme in PA when using the ribbon interface. I have attached 3 screen shots from another program that uses the ribbon interface and where I also have this possibility. The screen shots is just so you get an idea of what functionality I’m looking for. Since this is only eye candy and you have probably other features that have higher priority, this is considered low priority from my side, but maybe in some future version of PA you could add support for this. Kind Regards Micke [image: attachment_t_4634_0_cyan.jpg] [image: attachment_t_4634_1_purple.jpg] [image: attachment_t_4634_2_yellow.jpg]

I’ve tried out unrar-free and it doesn’t work for all the RAR archives I’m dealing with. Several other free programs also failed, but the shareware program succeeded (except it didn’t get Chinese filenames correct). I know it’s a long shot but it would be really nice to have PACL for Linux, especially if it can properly extract Chinese filenames within any RAR archive.

rar creation via paid plugin so winrar can make money6 and pa as well

the ability to switch languages via the menu in pa you can do this with irfan view so why can’t pa do the same

@bsiegel: … a list that people can add extensions to that would be “handled as zip” by the engine / shell extension? That way you don’t have to sniff for formats, but people can add ones that are useful to them. No need to limit this to zip formats - could be useful for ALL formats handled by PA :D

@Micke: Thanks for the information, I didn’t know it was possible. The program looks very interesting if you need more than 4 virtual drives. Your welcome and I didn’t know it was possible either till I found the program Personally I don’t really care much about it displaying Virtual drives I would have it not display a if possible but display of one is required I mainly just use it to insert images into physical drives and it would be awesome if PA offered similar

I use GSplit for splitting 7zip archives. As long as 7zip naming standard is respected 7zip sees the split files as multi-volume and is able to extract them.

I’d like that at least clicking on queue item to restore progress window for that job.

Hi, Batch archive tool is very nice tool. But my problem is with following scenario: I have many tasks already running in main queue. Now I want to run batch archive job. Unfortunately it starts in parallel with jobs in main queue and slows down my machine. Please add option to add archives from batch archive list to main queue. In my opinion this batch archive tool is kinda duplicated functionality. I would love to be unified with main queue. This means to be accessible from context menu. When I select multiple files or folder(s) I should have context menu item (Batch archive …) which opens Batch archive dialog. I this dialog I’d like to see a list with files/folders selected and be able to drag & drop other files I may select. After I press OK all files in list to be added to main queue. Also for Multi-Extract I’d like to see similar functionality.

That is what “batch” does.

Hi, Winrar has this feature. I can add to context menu “profile name” item

Hi, Queue window does not have option to stay on top. When hidden I have no feedback about progress of tasks. At least when one or all jobs are finished I’d like some balloon hints to pop above tray or/and to hear some sound.

Hi, I’d like to see similar functionality like Extract Now freeware has. You can search for archives in a folder and sub-folders and automatically add tasks to queue for extracting each archive found.

Hi, I’d like to see some statistics about en-queued tasks when hovering over tray icon

Hi, Queue window seems too basic. No progress bar. No statistics in status bar.

Hi, I’d like to PA to detect when I try to add duplicate task in queue

yep. like in my below posting with the little screendump, where ‘move’ obviously shd be replaced by ‘extract’.

There is this old (closed) thread http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3462 that thread is closed. Still I wud like to bring this up again. Would it be possible to have a portable .exe of PA. I know (and have) software that allows to be ‘exported’ to a portable version, including all settings. (It requires an small extra license fee though) Thanks and keep up the good work.

spwolf, ref your request to update the existing threads see: http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4419&page=2 i’d like to bring this up again for the next release that you are working on. or, alternatively: add this to the submenu presented when selecting : zip with options (add: menu item Encrypt archive to .exe) what do you think?
