    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?
    A
    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats? Its structure is similar to MS Office 2007 documents and Open Document Format. It is a ZIP Deflate archive with XML data and some JPG, and/or PNG pictures inside. Otherwise, if I try to compress .3MF it bearly makes it smaller unless I recompress .3MF to the Store setting then it makes it a lot smaller. Wish they all would move to 7zip ZSTD in the first place so that the optimized file size with FileOptimizer would be 50% of the ZIP Deflate version. And there would be no extra compression needed :)

    Optimize archive on Context Menu
    W
    I noticed that the option to add the optimize archive function to the context menu is missing on Windows 10. Opening each archive with the interface in order to click it becomes tedious with many files. Same for others functions like Remove Archive Encryption

    Highlighting files and folders in Add modes
    PA_FanP
    I prefer to use light themes, and when, for example, I have set up my main archive screen to be Classic Toolbar with Blizzard Blue, files in the archive are highlighted (no checkboxes, full row select) with white text on grey background. They are easy to see . However, in the Add screens, the files and folders are black type upon a pale blue background, which is not so readily visible, especially when highlighting separate files in lists with Ctrl/Click for addition. It would be ideal if the backgrounds to files in these screens could be set to mimic the highlighting of those in the main archive window. I have tried experimenting with different themes and settings for skins, toolbars and so forth, but, unless I’ve missed something, none seem to give me the effect I want.

    .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu
    C
    Re: Windows 11 Context menu support It would really make me happy if you put .BH in the Windows 11 context menu. I know it’s in the “More Options” section, but this would make it more convenient. Don’t know why the option to add it to the menu isn’t there in the first place. P-L-E-A-S-E ??? :) Thanks You!

    Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

    Now that the Windows Store is making support for non-UWP apps mainstream, including those with their own update delivery process, it would be nice to see PowerArchiver in the Windows Store going forwards - at least as a channel for the product to be available.

    Windows 11 Context menu support
    BigMikeB
    In Windows 11 a new explorer context menu is introduced. The “old” context menu may still be accessed through an additional mouse click, to reach the PowerArchiver context menu functions, but this isn’t comfortable at all. Could you add PowerArchiver items to the first level (and ideally disable the Windows native ZIP entry)

    Better handling for protected archives
    BigMikeB
    Hi, I’d like to propose an improvement for password protected archives. Actual behavior is: If I open an archive, which is password protected and make a typo in the password dialog, I’ll get the message, that the password was wrong and I end up with an empty window. I need to reopen the archive to be able to enter the password again. Improved behavior: Tell me, that the password was wrong and give me the chance to enter the correct password to decrypt the archive.

    ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm
    A
    Hello! I know I have been asking for this feature some time ago, but as nothing has changed let me ask again: The ZIPX-format offers an algorithm, that compresses JPEG-files by about 20-30%. Please add compression (packing) support for this in ZIPX-archives to Powerarchiver. Extraction of JPEGs packed into ZIPX by this algorithm is already supported by Powerarchiver for a long time, so it should not be difficult? Or is it a licensing problem? Thanks!

    Better archive type handling with drag & drop
    BigMikeB
    Hi, I’d like to suggest, that the correct archive type is (always) selected, when adding files by drag & drop to an archive. This is already happening if the archive has the correct extension. For example, if I’m adding files to test.zip, zip will be selected. If I’m adding files to test.7z, 7z will be selected as format in “Add dialog”. But this won’t be working, if the archive has not the “right” extension. So XPI files (Firefox addons) for example are ZIP files. PowerArchiver opens them without any problems, but if I try to add file by drag & drop, PowerArchiver won’t auto select “ZIP”, but use the last selected archive format, while PowerArchiver already knows, that I’m trying to add files to a ZIP.

    Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images
    F
    I love this, only there is one problem. The UAC elevation feature does not extend to Mount Image option in the add-on software PA provided. It is most annoying whenever I am on highest UAC settings and I mount an ISO, every time I open and create a virtual drive UAC appears. I also do not want to completely disable UAC. Is adding UAC elevation for mount image feature possible?

    Include Virtual Drive as standalone in the installer

    Hi. I noticed that when I want to run the Virtual Drive for the first time inside the PowerArchiver Burner it prompts to download it form the internet. I was wondering, would it be OK to include this utility straight into the offline installer to be able to set it up locally? Thank you!

    Suggestion to improve .pa format
    Brian GregoryB
    How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files. For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files. Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.)

    Find file in archive.
    LuxorL
    Would it be possible at all in some future version perhaps, to have a “find file” function? Reason I ask is that I was looking for a certain file I knew existed in an archive, but I had to unzip it then use another tool to find the file. It would have saved that extra step if that function existed in PA itself.

      @Ricco:

      When I choose to extract a 7-Zip file through Shelll extension “Extract here” and the original folder exists indeed, there would be a dialog asking me for the confirmation of overwriting “EVERY” existing file. It is quite annoying that if there are thousands of file that would mean I have to say Yes for thousands times. Also the dialog does not follow the look and feel of the Windows setting which looks so strange indeed.

      I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

      (Probably the first bug reported for Beta 4? ;))

      Hi,

      is the cancel process the same as if you cancelled from ongoing 7zip extraction? (does it take time?)

      as to the “issue”, I guess you want an new feature “All”? We can take a look if we can implement it for 7zip.

      thanks,

        I can cancel ongoing 7-Zip extraction. But that time cancelling by “Cancel” button in the confirmation dialog just failed. However, I can’t reproduce it now. :(

        Yes. I treat it as bug since I think PA should behave the same in handling different archive format. If “All” is implemented in ZIP profile, I think it should be also offered in 7-Zip Profile, as both are the mainstream format provided by PA.

          All feature is not shown, since Delphi has problems running multi-thread DLLs and we have some limitations in using WinAPI functions - right now we cannot have ALL button.

            How about the dialog interface? It seems not following the Windows look and feel. (I’m using default Luna UI in WindowsXP, at least the buttons shouldn’t be like that classic feel)

                  There HAS to be a better way of overcoming the problem. And if not, then why use Delphi if its got such pathetic limitations?

                        Well… what you could do… If it lets you… Hold hown Ctrl or Shift whenever you click “Yes”… In windows, that automatically makes it a “Yes to All” selection…
