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.
-
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.

@Virtual_ManPL:
Sorry for my bad English
Well, you could start with the PowerArchiver help files or even the features page -
http://www.powerarchiver.com/features/
and you would see that most of the popular ones you list are already supported. Of the popular ones that are missing - they are propriety and require licensing (e.g. ace, rar, sit compression).For the other non-supported formats, please could you explain WHY that particular format should be supported. If you have a specific private need - then use the format specific utility.
Experimental and Beta formats should NOT be supported by a commercial product (rk, paq variants etc).
It is not accurate (or even useful) to say XX supports more formats than YY - so XX is better.Note: a lot of “game formats” are actually just zip files :D

OK. I know, but decompression tool for sit it free (I think) ;)
Here you have source code for it :cool: http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/tex/CTAN/archive-tools/unstuff/For the other non-supported formats, please could you explain WHY that particular format should be supported. If you have a specific private need - then use the format specific utility.
I want advenced compression options for
.7z
(add dictionary size 100-900KB for BZip2, and for PPMd add dictionary size 1-1536MB and word size 2-32 words, and for LZMA add dictionary size 64KB-128MBMB and word size 8-273 words and add BCJ2 compression method like IZArc 3.6.1260)because I choose the best method compresion,dictionary&word size for me
.bh (add choose compression method Deflate, Fuse and BZ2) like above
.cab (add Quantium method) sometimes better than LZX
.jar because I dont want to rename about one hundred packes to .zip ;)
.kgb (add options to SFX archive) (much better compression than .7z)(best in the wolrd :D)
http://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/?lang=en
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kgbarchiver/
see it :D
only medium, but it have Extreme nad Maximum Compresion :p
http://kgbarchiver.sourceforge.net/en/tests.php.lzh (add SFX, because its usefull thing)
.pim (another better compression than .7z, have very high compression ratio for media formats, and its very usefull)
http://www.encode.ru/.sqx (add SFX,dictionary size 32-4096kB, multimedia & EXE compression, soild archive, TUGZip 3.4.0.0 & Squeez support this) (good compresion for data and media files)
http://www.sqx-archiver.org/download.html.uha (another better compression than .7z)

http://www.klaimsoft.com/winuha/
http://filecompress.altervista.org/
http://www.brhack.net/.yz1 (good compression for images in .jpg)
.zz (better than .zip and .rar)
http://debin.net/zzip/download.php#zzipExperimental and Beta formats should NOT be supported by a commercial product (rk, paq variants etc).
It is not accurate (or even useful) to say XX supports more formats than YY - so XX is better.I dont know that, the .rk and .paq is beta formats :p
Note: a lot of “game formats” are actually just zip files :D
Good to hear that :D

For version 10.00 you are able to create decompression plugins for formats (e.g. .sit, .kgb, .rk and so on) not supported by PA.
For future version - we will probably have support for compression plugins:)
-
p.s. doesnt KGB take like an month to compress 100 MB of data? You could go on vacation and when you come back,it still wouldnt be done :-)
-
I installed KGB Commpression Utility and I was amazed how slow and poor it was on compressing files! and no way did it beat 7z!
I had it for a day and uninstalled it! and no way would I recommend or ask PA to include such a code to be implemented.
-
JAR - Isn’t this already supported (Java Archives)?
SQX - Plug-in supported by PA 2007(10) format exists
UHA, ZZ - Still beta
BH, CAB, YZ1 - Format no longer under development
PIM - Don’t know this and your link isn’t working (for me).
7z - If you need that variety of setting use 7-zip, PA only needs to offer most generally useful (e.g. best speed or max compression).
Note: 7z SFX is in PA 2007(10)
KGB - Again, could/should be done via plug-in, if someone wants to create one :p -
there is nothing wrong with having gazillion formats… thats why there will be plugins :-).
-
OK, my mistake, I add too much shi… (bad;))&old formats :p (yes KGB is veryyyyy slowww :eek:, in the maximum compression)
.7z OWNS!!! :D
but genaraly I only want that, the PA use in the best compression ratio (Ultra method) in .7z format
method compression: LZMA (I think PA already use this:p)
dictionary size: 64KB - 128MB for dictionary (PA choose the max mem in my comp, I know that 128MB dictionary use 1375MB for compression)
word size: 273 words (for best compression ratio, but I dont know how many PA have this)because I test 7Zip 4.43 (LZMA,64MB dictionary_,273 words,soild archive) and PA2006 9.63.02(Ultra,soild)
and I saw that, the 7Zip 4.43 better compresed .7z format (1,5%).
I test 708MB with data,pictures(jpg,bmp),music(mp3,wav),some video clipsPlease change this options for better compresion ratio like 7Zip:D_

in PA help
Things to know about 7-Zip (and its shortcomings)Due to its strong compression settings, 7-Zip at Ultra setting will take up a large amount of memory - 369 MB (34 MB for decompression)! If you use 7-Zip’s Maximum compression setting, memory usage will go down to 84 MB (10 MB for decompression) and if you use Normal setting, 7-Zip will use 27 MB of your memory and need only 4 MB for decompression.
–-------------------------
Hmm…I think PA use small dictionary for better compability with old PC …
And you can use large dictionary size in 7-zip if use virtual memory(pagefile)_
