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. -
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.
PowerArchiver 2007 Release Wish List

Hi All,
After downloading, testing and reading the forums page I would like to add the following to the Wish List of Addon’s or Features that I feel would benefit users and the position of PA within the Compression tool market!
-
Test Connection Button within FTP Setup
Winzip, Zip Magic “Stuffit” have a test FTP Connection why not PA?? A user should be able to test a connection before saving changes. -
Password Security Status - On creation or change of an encrypted file
Most New applications now have a little 3 or 4 bar status in a password screen giving you details on how secure your password is eg:
1234 (Poor)
FoT37LX (Medium)
5548_KyY2455 (Strong) -
PA Starter Menu to include a favourites sub menu.
The ability to add your Favourite Zips for quick launch in PA Starter. -
Spyware Scanner Option
Spyware, Ad-ware and malware are areas that are constantly being acknolaged as being more of a threat to individuals than viruses due to there nature of steeling information. Applications Like ZoneAlarm, Avast! and Spybot are all teaming up to beat these areas by grouping spyware into antivirus packages can’t this be added as an internal option just like new antivirus? ;o) -
Improved Integrated Viewer
“Option to Attach to PA’s Window and allows users to view excel, word within it.” without having to open the file from zip. -
Skinable Configuration Screen
Why not have the ability to skin the PA Configuration Screen? / Customize How the options are shown have an Advanced View and Basic View. -
Shred Zip Facility.
(Random Wipe Method for PA Archives) -
Shared Setting for multiple Users
(On windows Login) allows users to set their own configuration settings. -
Configuration Screen Password (Option)
(Ensures only system user can change settings) -
Built In Zip Scheduling for Backups
Available in Leading Competitor Winzip Pro 11.0
-

unfortunatly, 95% of this would be for future versions, as we dont have enough time anymore to add any significant features.
6. What features wouldnt you show in basic view? I dont think there is an reason to not show any of the options to everyone.
8. Individual users have their own settings saved as it is.
9. This is done through policies and registered business customers can force any settings they wish to all of their users.
-
Ok Coolio,
Ignore part of 6 as it would still my nice to skin the configuration Screen.
8 and 9 Can get scraped too!
However, what is the chance of gaining this test button on FTP? and a built in Zip Scheduling?
You mentioned that 95% couldnt be done by time of release of 2007… what is the 5% that can?
Cheers
-
maybe test we could do…we will see…
Of course, there is always 10.1, 10.5, etc, etc :-).
