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! -
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.
PowerArchiver 9.50.26 File / Find Archives badly broken
-
The “File / Find Archives” functionality is not working and there is missing functionality that would help diagnose the error/issue.
Enhancement request. First, it would be very helpful to be able to point the “find archives” at a specific folder to “recurse” down rather than at the whole computer or a specific archive.
Bug. My version doesn’t allow me to point to a specific drive, the drop down where the drive is supposed to be is blank and the drop down menu contain no entries.
Bug. I pointed the find files to search the whole PC. It found a handful of archives when I known from a thorough file by file directory listing that there are at least 155 archives of types ZIP GZ TAR and Z. Huge data integrity issue here, folks.
-
I have never used this feature, but now I tried it.
@sf_flyboy:Bug. My version doesn’t allow me to point to a specific drive, the drop down where the drive is supposed to be is blank and the drop down menu contain no entries.
Confirmed.
“File - Find Archives - Search only drive”
Same in both Classic and Explorer View.Bug. I pointed the find files to search the whole PC. It found a handful of archives when I known from a thorough file by file directory listing that there are at least 155 archives of types ZIP GZ TAR and Z.
Not confirmed.
In my case it quickly found over 800 archives, before I stopped it. {7z, Cab, Zip, ISO, Tar, bz2}
Edit: From Help file -
“PowerArchiver will search for all formats it supports”
So I guess this could mean only archive types, you have associated with PA ?Note: when stopped, it displayed the results in a window titled “Favorite Folders” :confused:
Edit: OOPS - This is correct - see help file.By the way, could this ‘Found results window’ be made resizable please?
It is awkward with both long filenames and long pathnames. -
It’s high likely that there are some “file type association” things going on. I’ll check <br />that . I was uninstalling and installing various alternatives to PA all day. I’m trying to search a dataset of 100,000+ files and PA is the only partial solution to use for this application. My motivation:<br /><br />1. There’s no way to automatically delete archive files that have been expanded<br /> as opposed to those archive files that may have been nested in other archive <br /> files and not yet expanded themselves. (Back to DOS script files, UGH!)<br /><br />2. Many archive files contain other archive files and PA does not expand recursively<br /> in one pass. (About 10% go a second pass, about 5% of them to a third pass)<br /> The data volumes in some of these situations are significant for me.<br /><br />3. There is not a way to expand the contents of the archive in the folder in which the <br /> archive is located AND automatically rename files that share the same name to <br /> limit path “length growth”. This otherise results in the loss of 75% of my original <br /> data if I try to expand archives without expanding the archive filepath structure.<br /> Not a great alternative.<br /><br /> Note: If I try to expand WITH the orginal path, I occasionally run into total path <br /> length issues > 255. PA emits incorrect error messages and doesn’t necessarily <br /> understand that something bad has happened. A prescreening function that <br /> checked and genarated a “check log” would be extremely helpful. Otherwise,<br /> I have to do this manually using Excel spreadsheets.<br /><br />4. Logging is not sufficient to track the number of original archive files, track the <br /> files that were expanded from each, including situations where there are multiple<br /> levels of nested archives. What would be helpful would be:<br /><br /> Tab-indented archive format that could be imported into Microsoft Access or Excel:<br /><br /> <timestamp> <action> <nesting level, 0-n> <loose filepath+filename> <br /> <archive filepath+filename><br /> <br /> Where action would include terms such as “extracted” “deleted” <added><br /> etc.

It is awkward with both long filenames and long pathnames.yea, I agree.
I got quite surprised to see the search result archives in the favorite folder as well… -
Drop down issue is fixed in final release :-).
I am moving rest to the wishlist.
thanks!
