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

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

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.

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?

Exceptional compression levels.
Thanks.

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…

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!
Caching Passwords
-
I do not want to use Password Manager because I do not want my passwords saved persistently.
However, when dealing with password protected Zips, PA should cache the password while the Zip file is open. I understand that each file inside the Zip can have a different password, but 99.9% of the time they have the same password.
Other programs I have used ask for the password on the first access of a protected file, then will cache that password and try to use it for subsequent protected files - only prompting again only if the cached password does not work.
The cached password should be discarded when PA exits or the Zip file is closed (unless Password Manager is configured).
On a related note, I have a nitpick for when specifying the password when creating protected files: most programs have 2 edit boxes for the password (to verify correct typing) on the same dialog box - you enter the password then TAB then reenter the password in the second box. Then you press the enter key (or click OK). PA requires pressing enter between the passwords.
Not a really big deal, but it would be nice for PA to follow this nearly universal, common pattern, as it’s wired into my password entry keyboarding habit.

Bump for PA 2007 wishlist, even though no one else seemed interested :-( .
-
this would make it easier for people/ spware to steal passwords don’t you think
-
I don’t see how this would make passwords any easier to steal. If you’re looking at it from the standpoint of spyware or someone monitoring the passwords you type in, it might make it less easy to steal since you will have to type the password in fewer times. However, to be clear, I don’t see this as a feature to improve security - it’s something to make dealing with password protected .zip files more convenient.
The password never gets stored anywhere except in memory - PA should remove it when the archive is closed.
You can think of this as a ‘single-session’ password word manager.
-
Wow - things sure have been quiet here the past few days…
Since nothing else seems to be going on, I’ll take the opportunity to bring up an old request of mine for reconsideration:
