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…
RAR Compression

Currently PowerArchiver doesn’t support RAR compression. It would be great if you add the option to compress files to RAR format. Also there should be the options to split the archive and also an option to add a password to the archive. :D
-
There are many threads in this forum where people asked for RAR support.
Like this one:Link

Okay, thanks for letting me know. :D

And as the next version of PA could be a major one, I would be ready to pay more for the software if the rar compression was added… The price of PA did not change since years but there were many releases since that day. So, according to me it would be logical if the price increased of few dollars …
And as the rar license is not free, it could be a very good reason : according to me of course !!! -
I think the price shouldn’t go above $30.
Anyway, can’t anyone just create plug-ins for non commercial or private use? Like plug-ins for RAR, or ACE compression?

Previously, I were a user of Comprex, available at http://www.comprexx.com.
This product cost 29,xx dollars and have this feature in.
Unfortunately it has been discontinued…
It has also, outlook plugin, ace/rar compression plugins… -

The personal license for PA is “lifetime” - so Conexware cannot charge extra for existing license holders without a large amount of “ill feeling”; especially from users who don’t want this compression!It would have to be an “optional add-on” - for which the price would most likely be fixed by RAR (ACE etc) license issuing - not Conexware.
An integration/plug-in method to invoke the required compression could be done, but the normal license would have to be bought seperately - same as we have now (where Windows and not PA provides the “integration”).

No, what I am saying is someone should make free plug-ins for non commercial or private use. Just like they make cars for GTA Vice City. Since the cars are not sold, they don’t require any license.:D
-
You can’t just make a plug-in for RAR and then give it away for free and hope not to be sued. You are dealing with a copyright/patent issue. Even if you are giving it away free, doesn’t mean that you are not breaking the law.
