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.
-
SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.
Sort-indicator arrows on columns
-
Having a sort-indicator arrow on whatever column was being sorted on would make it a little easier to tell at a glance what column was being used for sorting.
I’m just talking about a little arrow that points up (indicating ascending) or down (indicating descending), right in the column header. I’ve attached a screen shot of how WinRAR incorporates this little feature.
-
I support your wish.
This would be a handy feature -
I already has this. It’s a ‘+’ or a ‘-’
Guido
-
NOw I has it, too.
For the first time you can’t see them.
You have to push on the columns, then you see the arrows.
So I think this feature request can be closed ;)
-
What? I have no idea what you mean. Push on the columns? I have done that–many times–and I don’t have anything on them. I can change the sort order and click on the columns all day long, and no “+” or “-” appears on them. This is with PowerArchiver 9.00.31.
Maybe this is another example of PowerArchiver still not working correctly at 120 DPI.
-
It really works, have a look at my Screenshot
-
Yeah, well it doesn’t work on mine. I can post a screen shot of that, too, if you want me to.
Why did the other guy say it was a “+” or “-”, when what you show is an arrow? And what version (Help > About) are you using?
Maybe it’s a DPI issue, or a language issue. I am using the English version.
-
I’m using Powerarchiver 2004 9.0
-
I have a feeling I’m going to dump PowerArchiver again. I don’t have the time or patience for this garbage.

- arrow will not show if you have “original order” option setup in config, until you re-sort it.
- In WinXP with themes enabled, +/- will show instead of arrow.
- works fine in 120 dpi.
And thank you for your kind comments nameless, you are very helpful and supportive, as always.
-
The arrow wouldn’t show up for me, even after re-sorting. And re-sorting. Again and again. Nothing would make it appear for me.
Well, sorry for the harsh words, but it gets frustrating to try new versions of PA over and over, and seeing the same things–and new frustrations–each time. (The arrow issue isn’t a good example of that, but…)
Don’t worry though; I’m out for now. See you for version 10. :)
-
The indication appears when you activate View-Explorer style. It does not appear in View-Classic style. :confused:
However, it only appears in explorer mode (with no open archives)!!Open any archive, now there is NO indication of the sorting order.
I believe this is the view nameless was referring to as that is the RAR view he attached in the original post. -

-
on both Win98 and Win2k? And if you resort?
Only able to confirm for Win2k at the moment.
No indicators in open archive view (both classic and explorer styles).
No indicators in explorer (no archive open) view using classic style.I guess you mean restart (not resort) ? If so, no change - still no indicators.
-

Same in W98
No indicators in open archive view (both classic and explorer styles).
No indicators in explorer (no archive open) view using classic style.I guess you mean restart (not resort) ? If so, no change - still no indicators.
P.S. Are you suggesting this should be a Bug and not a wishlish item?
-
I tried Explorer and Classic views as well; no indicators in either view. I can’t remember if I tried it with no archive open. This is on WinXP.
-
Sneaky… PA 9.00.33
The arrow indication appears when you activate View-Explorer style with no open archives.
Open any archive, (explorer or classic) now the indication of the sorting order is the + or -.
So far only checked under Win2k
-
oh you are right.
The indicators just appear, if no archive is open. if you have opened an archive you can’t see the indicator.
so this is a BUG :(
-
f you have opened an archive you can’t see the indicator
You can in 9.00.33 (dated today - did you get it yet? )
It is the + or - after the column headers.Also in Win98 :)

Yep!
-
the new version 9.00.33 seems to work.
One suggestion.
Is it possible to make a seperator between the name and the + -
Outside archives the sort indicator is shown as an arrow and inside archives a +/- sign is displayed instead.
So it should be no problem to draw the sort indicator insides archives as an arrow too. :rolleyes:
-
yeah arrows looks much better than +/-
