    Optimize archive on Context Menu
    W

    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.

    Highlighting files and folders in Add modes
    PA_FanP

    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.

    .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu

    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!

    Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)
    TheAndyMacT

    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.

      PA Crew,
      After using PowerArchiver 2007 since its 1st Beta Release I have noticed that the following should be amended or added.

      Save Configuration

      It would nice to have the ability to save the configuration settings into an external file therefore if I was to install PA on a new computer or have to crash my system down and reinstall PA I would only need to upload and apply my saved settings file via a CD or floppy disk.
      This would save allot of time in the long run as so far every release I have had to go into the configuration screen and amend all my settings to the way I want PA to work and look etc.

      Temp Folder Options

      Also another amendment I would like to see is the ability to designate a default Temp Folder at the moment the user only has the option in Misc to “use current location as the temp”. For security reasons this would also be a good idea as you would be able to instruct your anti-virus program to actively monitor that folder and also your shredding program to clear on shut down should the temp not clear its self etc.

      Comment Screen Amendment

      When Compressing an archive you can right click and select “Archive Comment” this then brings up a pop up that a user can type their notes into. However, the user also has an option to dock the comments window to PA but you cant change the text within this… it would be nice if you could change and save the test without out having to right click and select “Archive Comments” again. Thus giving the user a more integrated feel when making notes.

      Docked File Viewer

      I ofton use the File Viewer for pictures, work documents, note files etc the Viewer is a quicker and simpler method of seeing the data without having to extract or open it. The option of Docking the Viewer to PowerArchers Screen would be nice in the exact same way you have the option for Archive Comments. Once again this keep all PowerArchiver sub screen togeather in one application without it making things look a mess.

        • save configuration wouldnt work in Vista
        • You can select your temp folder in “Folders” section :-).

        In any case, all wishes are for future versions of PA, as we are not going to add any more features to PA 2007 - it is only bug testing.

        We have to release it :-)

        But keep the wishes in separate threads, so we can have them easily available for 10.1 and other releases…

        thanks,

          How are we doing on the release date? will Beta 5 be the last beta or are you still sometime away from finalising it?

          Other than that PA2007 is a fantastic step up! yopu guys dont do things by half do you :)
