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.

Tell us what features you want from new format…

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

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.

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. -
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! -
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. -
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?
-
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.
-
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!

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.) -
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.
-
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 -
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. -
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!
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.

Bug regarding to extract 7-Zip file through shell menu
-
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? ;))
-
Even worse is that… I clicked Yes for several times and soon think it’s time to stop it, then I choose “Cancel” for the next file. PA just loops itself to die and remains showing the extraction window. (Yeh, the window is still there when I am typing this article ;)) I have to manually kill to the process through task manager.
-
have you installed an other archive programs that support 7zip
which windows do you use and what is your ram hard disk space and finally can you list all open files on your computer.
tHis will help us diagnose your fault faster

7-Zip Manager 4.26 beta installed
WinRAR 3.30 also installed
OS: WindowsXP Professional SP2
RAM: 1GB
Harddisk space: over 40GB remained ( that isn’t important right?)
CPU: P4 3.0E -

PA just loops itself to die and remains showing the extraction window. (Yeh, the window is still there when I am typing this article ;)) I have to manually kill to the process through task manager.
I tried this - 7z archive (55MB) containing 5795 files in 527.
Clicking YES to overwrite 3 times, then CANCELExtraction window “hung” for about 10 seconds (the dialogue window closes but the extraction window did not redraw or update), but then it closed - or better to say it just disappeared.
-
Before use “Extract here” from shell I always delete the folder, but I think PA should handle this better…

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)

Same thing…
-
Yet another limitation of Delphi? That’s a pity… :(
-
There HAS to be a better way of overcoming the problem. And if not, then why use Delphi if its got such pathetic limitations?

take it easy, we will make it work, eventually…
-
I just wish it worked NOW!
-
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…
-
Yes to All, bump.
-
Bam! Wish granted. Please look at PA 2009 Beta 1.
