Windows 11 Context menu support

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)

OneDrive for Business support

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.

Better handling for protected archives

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

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?

Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

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.

Include Virtual Drive as standalone in the installer

2

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

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.)

Folder navigation

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.

Quake 1/2 .PAK file support

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

Find file in archive.

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]

2

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!

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

2

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!

Make portable version compatible with PortableApps

A

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.

Power Archiver Registration Codes

Hi

We are currently utilising a custimised ADM file with Group Policies to push our registration info to clients. With Power Archiver 2007 using the same keys but different code it becomes impossible to run it as the GPO replaces the keys. This will also become an issue during rollout.

Is there any way Power Achiver could be set to use a new Reg Num key for 2007 instead of the same reg num key for each version?

Thanks
