      Any chance of including this format in a future release?

      Exceptional compression levels.

      Thanks.

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      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.

    • Windows 11 Context menu support

      BigMike

      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)

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images

      F

      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?

    • Include Virtual Drive as standalone in the installer

      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!

    • Suggestion to improve .pa format

      Brian Gregory

      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.)

    • Find file in archive.

      Luxor

      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.

    • Encrypt files inside archive that has already been created [.zipx]

      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,

    • Fast Extract large files directly to target directory

      2

      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!

    • Serpent-256 Encryption for PAE/PAE2

      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!

      Would it be possible to have a PA Button intergrated within Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access etc, that allows the user to instantly compress, encrypt, email,ftp the document in question.

      You have managed to create an addon for Outlook surely this is possible?

        it is certainly possible, although we dont have it planned for anytime soon. It is good idea though and we have been thinking about it for a while now - it is just that nobody expressed any interest for it until now.

        thanks,

          I think its one of those nice to have’s that people would use but never really think about it. a bit like the cut and paste function on your mouse. :o)

          I know for a fact that I would certainly use it esspecially at work as i constantly write large data tables and need to compress them before sending via email, and having to save close and then compress seems a long way of doing it.

            Well, in this specific case, if your email is OutLook - use the option “File - Send To - Mail Recipient” and it will be compressed by the OutLook Plug-in.

              Good point, but I work for a company that uses Lotus notes… so Outlook Plug-in is useless. However, an office plug-in would work wonders.

              Also it would be great for instant Encrption eg: your working on document and need to shut down quickly you click on “PA Save & Encrypt” button and jobs done.

              A modification to PA’s password manager might need to be made to create a “secure default password”.

              “There another idea!” Default Password that a user can set during installation or change in settings. It would also save time setting a PassWord for each file.

              What do you think??

                Not sure of the benefit of storing and using the same password for all files - seems to defeat the purpose of encryption.

                  It would be allot like PGP, Where you set yourself a password for all default encryptions. but you have the option when enrypting to change it.

                  A majority of company’s work on the same princible, the password for your encrypted files has to be a cetain length and made up of so many charactors. This acts as your Master code which you can change at anytime.

                  it helps speed securing of documents and minimizing typo mistakes.

                  The default password would be encrpyted securely within the application logs itself so if the File was to leave the computer you would need to enter a password.

                  What im trying to say is it isnt a modification to the encryption as such but the way the application can manage passwords.

                  PA Works perfectly on encrypting docs its more of an ad-on im suggesting.

                    Yes, I understood that.
                    I was just expressing concern about a User Interface which could be taken to be suggesting (or at least implying) that the same password should be used for every encryption.

                      I see, I don’t think thats what anyone wants :),

                      So I think I wil re fraise that suggestion to;

                      Would it be possible to make some amendments to the Password Manager Tool to allow users to create a system password which on encrypting a document it gives the user an option to either

                      A: Use System Password or B:Other Password in which they type in and would have to type in everytime they open it on that system because it is not the set system password.

                      Or do you think that would be to much??

                      Cheers Terry

                        I can understand the idea when creating new archives but, when working with existing archives, the password manager currently “remembers” passwords - are you saying this should be disabled/removed?

                        By the way, I am just a user like you. I am not involved in development of PowerArchiver (except as an Alpha/Beta tester :p )

                          Kind of but no, :D because a user can already disable pa password manager and delete the saved passwords.

                          Im saying that it would be handy to have an option in password manager to set a Master password for all archives, so when encrpting you can encrpyt with new password or with master password.

                          This would then decrease the time it takes to password PA Files using the encrytion option.

                          eg. PA Master Password “123” everytime i encrypt a file using Quick Encrypt it will use the password “123” obviosly no one else would know that password bar me.

                          In other words its an amendment to the PA Password manager to enable a master password and an option when encrypting to use Quick Encrypt that uses the password you set or normal encrypt that askes you for a new password.
