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.

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.

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.

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…

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!
Update that isn't a reinstall

Any chance of using a more modern update method.
The current system downloads the new installer which when run ignores any of the choices you made in the last installer.
How about either making the installer more ‘intelligent’ or using a more modern automated update method.
Having to run an installer to update an application that i already have installed seems a bit ludicrous.
I dread the ‘update available’ message. Ideally it should update in the background, and if it requires a restart, get me back to where i was before the restart

This should not happen - except, possibly, when doing “major” updates (e.g. PA 2006 [9.x] -> PA 2007[10.x]). Not sure about this because I didn’t perform that update procedure with the release versions - I was doing BETA testing.
For minor updates (e.g. PA 10.0 -> 10.0.1) the settings should be preserved (if not it is a bug).
-
Hi the last update was a minor update but the installer ran from scratch with all the usual check boxes e.g do you want to associate files/add icon etc. etc.
-
Hi,
I just came to ask for same thing when I found this topic. Yea, I also think PA really need this, some transparent, best background update process. With 10 serie it’s a bit hot because often updates… -

Yes, it does.
But if you set DeskTop Icon and Queue to same as before - you leave leave the others checked and no changes to your settings are made.
I can see where you may consider having to check/uncheck them as unneccessary, however. -
I think you are thinking of some kind of patch system… problem is that PA is pretty small itself, so there would be no benefit from that.
On the other hand, we would have build different patches for different versions, which will make our life harder and make it slower to update PA.
So once in a while, you will have to endure installation screen, for now :-).
-
Yeah, I agree it’s only lazyness from us. But doesn’t MSI package fully support updating process? It can check file versions and replace only needed…
-
thats what it does… it keeps all of your original settings and doesnt apply new ones, like it would if it was new installation.
-
kk, as I said, just lazyness. :-) It will settle down in time when updates become less often…ty and see ya.
