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…

It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.
-
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.
-
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!
New dll from 7-Zip 4.44a1
-
Hello,
if you want you can add this new dll from new version of 7-Zip 4.44 to your PA2007 beta version to have better compression speed and eliminate some minor bugs
I test it and didnt see any bugs. All things work great like before.
What’s new:
- Speed optimizations for LZMA, Deflate, BZip2 and unRAR.
- Some changes in error messages.
- Some bugs were fixed.
- New localizations: Bangla, Bashkir, Nepali.
Details about speed optimizations:
- LZMA in multithreading mode for dual-core CPUs
- BZip2 compressing and decompressing
- Deflate in Max and Ultra modes
- UnRAR code was rewritten. And it must work faster now.

I use PA 2007 Beta 4 and extracted the dll and overwrote the PA 7zip dll which caused conflict problems.
PA, is this something you will amend eg? have the latest Alpha version in beta 5 or will you wait till its past testing?
Also am I correct in assuming that the Plug-in feature would allow users to add there own new DLL Versions of compression software? This would mean that users can self update to the latest compression methods without waiting on the next PA Release.
-
have you seen total commander. well pa uses a similar system for plugins. At the moment plugins for total commander do not work with pa but hopely this will be fixed shortly.
basically you will have to write a plugin that essemnntually uses the dll of that program in order to use that compression. As this is still a new feature it will be refined over time and in no doubt the best feature about. No other archiver of any iuse uses this feature yet.
Well done pa keep inovating.
-
you wont able to change any of engines in PA currently, via plugins.
We will check new 7zip, as we usually always do, if we dont find any issues, we will include it in future releases…
thanks for the info…

Newest version dll from 7-Zip 4.44 Alpha 2 :D
-
Its ok, but even though its in Alpha level it has yet improved on their compresion method!
As you can see below, I compressed a Registry Backup of 31.3 Megs. In PA show below it compressed it on ultra to 1.98mb! FANTASTIC.
On 7-Zips new 4.44 Aplha it did the same.
So where is the so called improvment to compression?Although I must admit a file from 31.3mb to 1.98 is bloody good!
Normal File 31.3 MB (32,892,524 bytes)
PA 7zip Ultra 1.98 MB (2,085,895 bytes)
PA 7zip Maximum 1.99 MB (2,087,216 bytes)
7-Zip 4.44 Alpha (ULTRA) 1.98 MB (2,085,895 bytes) -

I download EVEREST Ultimate Edition 2006 3.50.865 Beta and decompres zip file and make some test with this unzipped folder12 137 284b - NORMAL
23s - 7.505.832b - PowerArchiver 2007 10.00.22 Beta 6 (Ultra & Solid & LZMA)
27s - 7.502.041b - 7-Zip 4.44 Beta (Ultra & Soild & Word size 273 & Dictionary size 64MB)I make this test on PIII 900MHz, 768MB ram.
Yep, I know this comp is very ols :p**But , nvm.
I like better PA, because is much faster.
5s difference for 12MB file is very big difference for me**/Virtual_ManPL

once 7zip is out of alpha, we will obviously add new dll to PA…
