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)
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.
