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.
Master file types should be backed up!
-
I posted this suggestion a long time ago, but it seems some forum housecleaning has taken place since then. Oh well.
To reiterate, PowerArchiver (even version 9.0) does not back up the master file types it replaces under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. So, what happens is that if you use PA to take over a file association from another archiver, then you disable that association through PA’s interface, you’re left with no association at all.
To be perfectly specific by way of example, here’s what can happen:
- WinRAR installed, no PowerArchiver yet:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) = WinRAR.ZIP- PowerArchiver installed, and configured to take over .ZIP associations from WinRAR:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) = PAZIP- After going back into the PowerArchiver interface, and deselected the .ZIP association:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) =In case it’s not obvious, that’s a broken file association being depicted directly above.
I deem this inappropriate behavior. What should be done is a backup of the original value of (Default), with that value being restored if the association is undone in PowerArchiver. For example:
- WinRAR installed, no PowerArchiver yet:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) = WinRAR.ZIP- PowerArchiver installed, and configured to take over .ZIP associations from WinRAR:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) = PAZIP
PA_BAK = WinRAR.ZIP- After going back into the PowerArchiver interface, and deselected the .ZIP association:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.zip
(Default) = WinRAR.ZIPGee whiz, it looks like it did before!
It’s about making user’s lives easier, not about helping out the competition. Sometimes, file associations can be handled by software that isn’t a direct competitor of PowerArchiver (such as PowerDesk).
Am I the only user on the planet who can test this sort of thing? I mean, come on now, how many users does PowerArchiver have? Why am I the only one pointing this out?
-
good point. if i want to open with another program i just use the xp open with context menu. i never remove the association.
i’m guessing the same thing happens on uninstall?
would be a good thing to see fixed. one more thing to add under that whole ‘certified for windows xp’ deal :) seems like it would be useful to restore old file associations.
