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.

Hi.
I noticed that when I want to run the Virtual Drive for the first time inside the PowerArchiver Burner it prompts to download it form the internet.
I was wondering, would it be OK to include this utility straight into the offline installer to be able to set it up locally?
Thank you!

How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files.
For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files.
Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.) -
I would like to make a further plea for my mouse’s backwards and forwards keys to work when navigating to and from files, just like they do in explorer. IIRC, I was told that this functionality would be added to v2019.
Mni tnx.

I use PA for everything, if I can.
Would be really nice to maybe get built in support for Quake 1/2 .pak files.
More info on the format, seems simpler than I thought: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/.pak -
Would it be possible at all in some future version perhaps, to have a “find file” function?
Reason I ask is that I was looking for a certain file I knew existed in an archive, but I had to unzip it then use another tool to find the file. It would have saved that extra step if that function existed in PA itself. -
Hi.
Is there a way to enable the user to encrypt the files inside a ZIPX archive that has already been created?
This could save time for large archives that the user may need to encrypt at a later stage or that he/she has forgotten to enable encryption before creating the archive,
Thank you!

Hi.
I would like to see a new feature implemented: a ‘Fast Extract’ Mode.
Currently PowerArchiver extracts files to a temporary directory and then moves them to the target directory chosen by the user. At least via drag and drop.
This can be both time consuming and needs free space on the system drive for large files.
Is there a way to directly extract files to the target directory with PowerArchiver?
And if not, can a feature like this be considered for future updates?Thanks very much!
-
Hello.
I believe it would be useful to implement Serpent-256 encryption for PAE/PAE2 formats, even though PowerArchiver offers strong encryption ciphers already.
(deleted part advertising other software - admin)
Do you think this will be a useful addition?
Thank you for the consideration!
-
Hello!
I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure).
I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos.
Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this.

Presently, PowerArchiver 2019 (any build) cannot rename PBS filenames by single clicking on such entry or right-click menu has no “Rename” feature!
Hmm, even pressing F2 on selected entry does nothing :(

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

There needs to be a setting for the backup feature to set how many backup files to keep.
PA 2007 : browsing archives as regular folders
-
Hi,
Implementing a mechanism in PA giving the ability to browse archives as if they were regular folders (as we already can do with zip archives since windows
9X). -
Good idea, especially if it where all archive types, supported by PowerArchiver
-
@Claude
do you want this behaviour in PA or in the Windows Explroer? -
he wants PA integrating into Windows Explorer… This is actually patented by ZipMagic I believe, although they did not issue new release in a while…
-
this is also used in comprexx so it can’t really be patented. Powerdesk file manager uses a similar method to zip magic. I aggree it can be done. Its up to you if you really wnat to do it or can do it.
-

comprexx is turkish company. Zip Magic has indeed an Patent to it, and it came out 5-6 years before comprexx.
You can check the USPTO.
We can actually do it, but it would be an separate product.

There is a much needed feature that is a slight extension of PA and this concept, which would open up an entirely new product-line for PA, I believe.
If PA could represent compressed files as folders, not just through Explorer, but at a lower level where they could be shared this way (or to implement a MS-DFS style tool that accomplished this), this would open up an entirely new product that will be first in the emerging home-theater/DVD-archive market, in addition to the obvious benefits by people that need this feature for other more generic purposes.
Please see this post, where I mention PA specifically:

Comprexx, is currently about to be sold …
But even if you have to do it in another product, yes, please do it !

On this matter, Joseph Leung, the maker of QuickZip, the product I have been testing during last weeks, has released a new project named Archive folder which exactly does it.
You can find more information about it in his forum at http://www.quickzip.org/forums/index.php -

Ok, so take your time, but please, remind you of, and implement it later … when you’ll find, more time to do so …

Personally, I’m not fond of the idea. I always unregister zipfldr.dll because I find it annoying. I would only support this as an option, not the default mode of operation.
-
I agree with By-Tor, I hate that feature in XP and I always disable it first thing. Archives are files, they are not folders. Of course I wouldn’t mind if it were added as long as it was able to be turned off.
-
it’s more of a nice to have than a need to have. I personaly agree with by-tor and Banquo, a zip file is a “file” not a folder.
Should such an option be added to PA set it disabled as default.
