@AluminumHaste: is PAE a powerarchiver proprietary format? currently yeah…well all of the formats inside are public, it is just container. keep in mind that i do not know of anything that decrypts in multicore actually, not in true sense of word. For instance no compression tools support multicore extraction either, just compression.

@Claude: Hi all, As PowerArchiver Pro is able to mount ISO file thank to Virtual drives, what about using this facility to mount other archive type as .NRG for example ? You know what tool is excellent for that? Virtual Clone Drive. It’s free also.

@twistedemotions: I would like to see the ability to customize the ribbon as in Office 2010 (currently in beta). At this time I see no way to customize the buttons for that mode. A much more minor request… Also I would like to disable or hide the Quick Access Toolbar all together, rather than just remove the items from it and have it sitting there as a tiny down arrow. Right now you have functions under the pseudo office button, the some of the same functions available under the Quick Access Toolbar down arrow, and everything things available yet again on the ribbon interface. indeed, we do have some functions replicated by default, but thats because users use PA in different way. If you open archive, open button will not show up on main toolbar anymore for instance, so you could use either QAT or orb/file menu to open another file for instance. QAT is also there for default so people can easily see it exists and can customize it to their prefferences. As to Office 2010, we will have some upgrades to our ribbon component once Office 2010 is out as official version.

@spwolf: i am sure we can work something out ;-) Sounds great. Looking forward to whatever that might be:)

Using shell extension, I have Test as a choice. However, if the file does not have the correct extension, then Test reports “This does not appear to be a valid archive”. It would be useful if Test could actually examine the archive structure to identify if it is “simply” a naming problem and if so report the format used (I appreciate it may not always be simple). As a test - rename Tutor.zip to Tutor.7z Additionally, in PA GUI “Test” should be available before archive has been opened.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me. I’ll be eagerly awaiting this being added to the next version.

would like to see the progress of individual files like winzip and winrar

I’ll refer you to this thread… http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3796&highlight=64bit

In CheckOut I’d like to see an option to specify the location of the Start Menu group.

i really dont understand why would you put this into the “what should be next format” in PA thread… this is why we have complete forum section for wishes - so not everything would be together in one post. and you might want to explorer some of the skins, they already have different icons included… it is a bit of work, but it might be worthwile, up to you ;-)

Can PowerArchiver burn “BIN” files? If not then that would be nice too :)

@infimum: Sorry for bumping, this really bugs me. Too small for a tree display. It shouldn’t be that difficult to implement, should it? thats what happens when you enter an new wish or bug, depending on how you look at it, as side comment to another wish or bug. thats why we try to ask everyone to make specific thread for each issue or wish they have ;-)

we will check it out for one of the future versions.

btw, why is anyone using zip sfx? use 7zip… especially updated version coming in next release ;-)

@Wepver: Well, you could have iso files associated with Burning software, cbr to a comic viewer,… and PowerArchiver would kill that associations. And if you later disassociate those formats then the earlier associations would not come back. Yes, but that is the situation where I proposed using the “open configuration” option. P.S. personally I never “disassociate”, I always associate from the relevant utility. PA is not the only one that doesn’t support “disassociate”. @Wepver: That is false. AlphaZIP allows the use of 7z, rar (but it could not compress it), and other compressed formats as folders. Interesting, I didn’t know that. Just had a look and it is a shame that AlphaZIP appears to be a dead product (no forum and no updates since 2007). @Wepver: The main one is dual panel. (Drag-drop files from one panel to the other. For example: One panel is inside 1.zip and the other one with 2.zip. You could move files from 1.zip to 2.zip easily and only with one PowerArchiver instance opened) Now this would be an intriguing feature (if possible) for copying / moving between archives especially if all formats were supported e.g. Drag from RAR and drop in BZip2. Not sure about speed/memory requirements but why not - this is a wishlist :p

A very useful feature (for the users of the new epub format (which is a simple zip file)) would be if PA allows arrangement of files inside the zip archive (useful after a file modification or addition of new files inside the zip). It would be enough if users could put a specific file (mimetype) first in the zip table or at least if PA doesn’t change the order of files inside the zip (preserve the place of edited files and add the new files at the end of the zip table).

@guido: This was the first version of PA that was workable and I finally could give PA a test :D:D :D:D:p

Is it possible to add the powershell as a window instead of the command prompt?
