    • 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

    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      Z

      It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    • Highlighting files and folders in Add modes

      PA_Fan

      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!

      Any chance of including this format in a future release?

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      TheAndyMac

      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

      BigMike

      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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      I’m surprised that OneDrive for Business isn’t supported. I can’t link my company’s OneDrive account, but a personal (free) account works fine.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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!

      Currently we can only extract/test rar archives, it could be interesting if we also could create them directly with powerarchiver…

        You are not the first who asked.
        Look at this thread and you know why it is still not implemented

        Keep looking for interesting software.

          you should use 7Zip (Solid compression) instead.
          It has a amuch better compression ratio than RAR

              I realize that formats like RAR and ACE are licensed formats but would it be possible at all to create a seperate add-on to PA (that users must pay for and is optional) for creating RAR, ACE, or other licensed formats?

              To be honest, I just want a full range of capability in PA, even if it costs a bit more in the end.

                  Yeh… I just have tried this tool in my another machine. It really can create RAR file V3.

                  (Some offtopic here… There are some annoying issues regarding the installation/uinstallation of Comprexx

                  • I’ve tried one Access Violation during installation if I don’t get it on-focus.
                  • After uninstallation, the file association doesn’t recover and the shell menu entries are not removed.)

                    Is that the only program that supports RAR/ACE compression other than the proprietary programs at the moment? As far as I can tell, that would make CompreXX, PowerArchiver’s closest competitor.

                    I’m surprised I’ve never even heard of CompreXX until now.

                        Just to avoid confusion, admittedly based on their online documentation (I haven’t tried the utility) it would seem:-

                        1. it does not support ACE compression - only decompression.
                        2. it does not support RAR compression - it provides a plug-in type option to utilise an already installed (and licensed) WinRAR/RAR.

                        This is same method used by others - as davidsplash already said.

                        And before someone asks again - no, at the moment PowerArchiver does not have this plug-in/third-party expansion type support (already been discussed many times).
                        If you have already installed/licensed those utilities, you might as well simply use the Explorer context menus they provide.
