    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      D

      The now defunct Bulkzip had Nanozip (nz) as an option this would be great to have for compatibility with my .nz files, so I don’t have to install Bulkzip separately.

    • 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

      2

      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 Gregory

      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.)

    • Folder navigation

      I would like to make a further plea for my mouse’s backwards and forwards keys to work when navigating to and from files, just like they do in explorer. IIRC, I was told that this functionality would be added to v2019.

      Mni tnx.

    • Quake 1/2 .PAK file support

      AluminumHaste

      I use PA for everything, if I can.
      Would be really nice to maybe get built in support for Quake 1/2 .pak files.
      More info on the format, seems simpler than I thought: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/.pak

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Find file in archive.

      Luxor

      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.

    • Encrypt files inside archive that has already been created [.zipx]

      2

      Hi.

      Is there a way to enable the user to encrypt the files inside a ZIPX archive that has already been created?

      This could save time for large archives that the user may need to encrypt at a later stage or that he/she has forgotten to enable encryption before creating the archive,

      Thank you!

    • Fast Extract large files directly to target directory

      2

      Hi.

      I would like to see a new feature implemented: a ‘Fast Extract’ Mode.

      Currently PowerArchiver extracts files to a temporary directory and then moves them to the target directory chosen by the user. At least via drag and drop.

      This can be both time consuming and needs free space on the system drive for large files.

      Is there a way to directly extract files to the target directory with PowerArchiver?
      And if not, can a feature like this be considered for future updates?

      Thanks very much!

    • Serpent-256 Encryption for PAE/PAE2

      2

      Hello.

      I believe it would be useful to implement Serpent-256 encryption for PAE/PAE2 formats, even though PowerArchiver offers strong encryption ciphers already.

      (deleted part advertising other software - admin)

      Do you think this will be a useful addition?

      Thank you for the consideration!

    • Make portable version compatible with PortableApps

      A

      Hello!
      I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure).
      I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos.
      Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this.

    • I think SVG files should be treated as text files.

      SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.

    • Command Line Switch for View Mode

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.

      At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
      I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
      Basically, the aim is:

      Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode

    • move back and forth via prev/next buttons in archive/folders

      spwolf

      OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

      Hi,

      So, here they are:

      • It would be nice a pause button while compressing.
      • It would be very important a priority dropdown menu, where users can change the actual compression priority (!)
      • When you compress an archive, and you want another beacuse you don’t have time to wait the first. It would be very comfortable if the second archiving progress could wait until the first one finishes, and then proceed.
      • It would be awesome, that if other mailer programs than Outlook Express would be compatible with this prog, specially I’ve Opera, and I’m using it’s m2 client, when I clicked on “Compress & Email” after compressing nothing happened, because I don’t have Microsoft Outlook Express. Or it would be also good if it could support an smtp server configuration, and the user could configure it to send directly to the server without using mail client.
      • I could use other formats to compress, eg. RAR, ACE too. They are not bad.
      • I 'm Hungarian, and I’d like to translate this great app, but I don’t know how to, or should I search for an english lang file to make it? I will translate it, just give me an english lang file.
      • It would be handy if the archiver program could recognize the antivirus program that I use, not all the users knows that wich is the main exe file for it.

      That’s all, I hope you could find some good idea. In my opinion, these option could make this program even better than it is.

      Bye,

        Hi,

        Nice wishes! I support them! ;)

        But RAR and ACE formats are not free… Ability to make archives in such formats requires a license, which coasts a lot…

        If you want to translate PowerArchiver into your language – send a message about this to translations@conexware.com
        But remember: you will have to do the COMPLETE translation! Including documentation and Help…

          Well, I have some freetime, so I’m in. I’m sure it will take some time, and if these wishes come true, I’m happy to spend my time on it. :rolleyes: Of course except ACE and RAR format compression support, because they are licensed.

              Agree, “Pause” command is really a need, especially facing a long-lasting 7-Zip operation.

                • I could use a PC speaker beep when a long archiving is complete, this could be useful if your speakers are turned off. In this case, the program can alert you any time. I think this should be a configurable thing, so users who don’t want this feature can turn off. I’d like it.
                • There sould be a Poweroff, Standby, and Hybernate dropdown menu, to do it after compression. (Really useful when you compress much data, and you are about to go somewhere or slepp)
                • It would be also not bad if the program could somehow calculate and show the REMAINING time, it should do an analyzing before compression.

                Well, thats all for now!
