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.
-
SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.
Update PowerArchiver Outlook Plug-in for Outlook 2007
-
Are you going to update PowerArchiver Outlook Plug-in for Outlook 2007?
-
yes, once PA 2007 is out…
-
I Know that there was a previos post about what I am going to mention but as this thread is recent and open I will ask it again.
PA,
Have you or will you start working on an intergrtor for Office 2007? Like the one for Winzip. Thus, Giving users the ability to compress the document they are in at the time?

winzip has office plugin? since when?
-
Ignore my last thread abotu winzip having an office plugin! i was abit ahead of myself! they are working on one but not yet released!
It isnt available in Winzip 11.0 Pro as I downloaded it this morning.
Sorry…… However, it still would be nice if PA created one. :)
-
@Sir:
… Winzip 11.0 Pro as I downloaded it this morning…
Be sure to evaluate it fully
- no better way to convince myself that buying PA was the right choice :D
-
PowerArchiver is the only Archive Utility on my work and home system! I also try and get get everyone else I know to buy or try it! which a few have.
The only thing I like about Winzip 11 is some of its new improved addons but im sure PA will catch up with them sooner or later! hopefully sooner.
-
Sorry my mistake, we should not discuss other products on this forum.
-
So when 10.0 is final (PA 2007) that means the outlook plugin will not be broken even under Outlook 2003? So currently if i want to use the outlook plugin I need to go back to version 9.63?
-
@Matt:

It (still) works for me with PA 10 beta - just ignore the warning message on the Outlook options screen.

right, it works fine, it shows wrong error message in config…
But it does need to be updated for Outlook 2007…
-
Can’t wait till PA Support Outlook 2007! alreadu using Enterprise Edition and its the dogs dinner!!! and thanks to PA upgrading their new look to the Ribbon style it all matches!!
OW PA!!!
Vista Skin has Black as default however yours only supports blue and silver which kinda stands out on vista (good i suppose) will there be a black vista skin to for pa 2007??
-
you mean Office skin? Maybe in the future…. default is blue I think.
-
Yer Vista and Office 2007 have a colour option of Black which looks really nice! would be great if PA had the same option to match.
-
Here is a seen shot of my xp with vista skin … I also have Outlook 2007…
-
What is the status of this update?
-
it will be updated sometimes this month… not sure of the date exactly
-
oh good. It was one of my reasons for buying PA and was initially disapointed when it didnt work with outlook 2007. The update is good news.
-

POP2 On Office 2007 Microsoft Outlook doesnt work! it doesnt even show in the options ribbon menu nor in the settings. even after a restart.
I can’t seem to locate the problem as I have followed your help file but can’t locate the PA Settings.
-
Outlook> Tools> Options.
And you have to have Outlook closed during installation in order for it to work…
-
Its possible that might be the problem I will check tonight. My Office runs in the background most of the time so I will install in safe mode and see if that works…
Thanks!

With Outlook 2007 I am getting the error when using zip for the compression:
OlAddIN error: the add-in has fired an exception. Cannot find this file. Verify the path and file name are correct.
It doesnt matter if its one file or multiple files.
PA version 10.0.1.1
PA Outlook: 2.00.01With 7zip it works fine.
zip sfx fails
CAB works
TAR.GZ works.Found the reason. If you have the profile option “Action” changed from “Add (and replace) files” to “Update (and add) files” then that is the reason for the error message.

… PA version 10.0.1.1
PA Outlook: 2.00.01May not be related to your problem but you are aware that the latest version is 10.01.03 :p
-
I used 10.01.03 on a reinstall to check but it still occured. The problem area has been identified now though. I have changed it back to add and replace in the meantime.

i am closing this thread - if anyone has 2.0b1 bugs to report, please open threads in tech support forums, as always…
thank you!
