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)

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.
PA Live Archive Facility
-
As many of you are aware, PA Offers some ability to zip, open and save current compressed documents such as Excel. However, there are experiences that unless you save twice it doesn’t update the Temp folder correctly therefore the zip archive doesn’t recognize the change.
Also I have tested this same process with Word Documents and it doesn’t update.
PA You have made a top notch application! no questions about that! But is it possible you can work on an improved Live Archive that allows users to zip, open, change and save documents within an archive without having to export.
This would be a fantastic feature as users would be able to keep their files secure & compressed while making changes.
-
I dont quite understand - what exactly is the wish for?
The way Excel works, no matter where we store the .xls file, it will always use separate temp file on the hard drive.
-
If excel is creating a random temp file due to it opening and saving from a compressed source,
You could add the option to PA That when creating an archive you have a tick box named for example “PALive” when selected this would instruct PA on opening a zip to export the contents to a source on the harddrive and when selecting the file it opens it from the folder created therefore “live” when saving and closing that file and on the closing of PA your program would detect any changes in that folder and move/replace them in the archive.
Saving a user from Manualy draging file from zip to folder working on file and saving it then draging it back into zip.
Hope that makes sense?

Thats what it does already, exactly :-).
Excel always uses temp file. It doesnt know or care that you are using PowerArchiver.

Do you think if there is any other way amending it so when users are opening a file from PA and make changes it will update the archive.
Or is this a problem that wont get fixed until Microsoft Decide to change the way their office applications save?

we are making some special provisions in PA 2007 to work around that. It is really specific to Office due to the way they handle saving of the files (which is not when you click save).
In excel, all you have to do is wait for 2-3 seconds beforing confirming the update in PA, and it will ask you for update again (which is true update).
-
I see clearly now! :)
Well I can but wait till PA 2007! and hope that those improvments will reflect.
Understand the delay in excel as i use it on a very regular basis. However, my main enquiry was regarding any office application.
Thank for the update?
PS: When do you think PA 2007 Will be released?

for instance, with Word, you have to quit word and it will save the file. So it depends on specific application.
As to PA 2007, should be soon, no specific dates as usually it always gets delayed for whatever reason…
