    • 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

    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      Z

      It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    • Highlighting files and folders in Add modes

      PA_Fan

      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

      C

      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.

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      TheAndyMac

      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.

    • Windows 11 Context menu support

      BigMike

      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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      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.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

      First of all, keep up the great work… I’ve used your program for years but have only recently been able to replace all other compression apps with yours :)

      My Personal Wishlist:

      if I click a filename in a compressed archive and drag it out to extract it takes about 10 seconds before it begins extracting (Vista 64/Ult)

      When selecting multiple compressed files there is an option to “Extract to filename” but when selecting multiple uncompressed files there is no “Compress to filename.zip” (compress each file to seperate archive with similar name)

      When dragging a compressed file to another location (with the right mouse button) there is a built-in Vista “Extract here” option. Could there be a power archiver extract here option as well?

      support for recognizing multi-part rar filenames. For example:
      filename.part1.rar
      filename.part2.rar
      filename.part3.rar

      when you right click on filename.part1.rar and select extract to folder it will create a folder called “filename.part1” instead of just “filename”

      Dynamic starting of the queue (pastarter) when needed(or even when any PA window is open), and closing when all extracts complete(or all PA windows close)

        Can’t comment on Vista specific things but… @Snk:

        when selecting multiple uncompressed files there is no “Compress to filename.zip” (compress each file to seperate archive with similar name)

        In PA - use “Batch Archive” or
        In explorer (shell options) - “Batch Zip”
        @Snk:

        When dragging a compressed file to another location (with the right mouse button) there is a built-in Vista “Extract here” option. Could there be a power archiver extract here option as well?

        This is available in Windows XP - have you enabled “extract to current folder” in the FOLDER options?
