    • 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!

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      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.

      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.

              I tried this - 7z archive (55MB) containing 5795 files in 527.
              Clicking YES to overwrite 3 times, then CANCEL

              Extraction 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)

                                    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…
