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.
Create .rar archives with PA?
-
Hi, I was wondering if there are plans for PA to be able to create .rar archives? I think for this you need the registered version of WinRAR installed on your pc and PA would need to interface with that through a plugin interface? But for those of us who already own WinRAR but would like to use (prettier :p) PA to create .rar archives with, this feature would be really nice. Just wondering if there are plans to support this.
-
Hmm, guess this would be more appropriate in either General or Wishlist sections, please feel free to move it.
-
you can not do this due to rar owner not allowing this. However you can create a plugin that uses the commandline rar program. I’m in the process of testing one out for pa though i do stress u still need to registar that componet with winrar.
Don’t ask me for it.

I have Winrar and it would be nice to access it through PA.
Thanks

pa can via a plugin run winrars features. However as pa stated it would cause an infringement of the rar license.
Wrong
If they create an official plugin that uses rar license only if an official rar license is on your computer then it would work.
What people want is to use the rar features in pa instead of having to open up winrar all the time.
Pa is far better in terms of interface and ease of use. Winrar only has the advantage of the rar format. This way i’m suggesting would benifit both parties.
How many people would like mind buying winrar license just to use its features from within the pa interface?
I know of at least 1000 people who would. Namely people who have brought other archiveing packages

All, or at least most of WinRAR’s features are available through the command line. The WinRAR program itself controls its own licensing; i.e. if the program isn’t registered then it will do any necessary work of crippling itself. In fact, I’ve run into the limitations of the non-registered version when using it from the command line before I actually went and bought it so I know that it does this. So, a plugin for PA should only need to work towards interfacing with WinRAR’s features and any checking on PA’s part whether WinRAR is registered should be moot.
I don’t see any licensing conflict here since any user wanting to use it would need to first register WinRAR as well. People who don’t yet own WinRAR probably won’t bother with this but for those of us who do own WinRAR and enjoy some of its features and like the .rar format this will be nice to have.
If you make it I’ll test it. :)
-
I support the wish! :)
As many of you, I’m a paid customer of both winrar and powearchiver…and I would love to use a single gui for handling both programs! of course I’d use PA’s gui as it’s way better than wrar’s!
-
you can not do this due to rar owner not allowing this.
Are they opposed to any inclusion of rar? Or is it an issue of paying some kind of licensing fee? In the next few months I need to buy another PA license. I would pay more to buy a version that included the Winrar license fully integrated, rather than buying two separate licenses if I could save a few bucks.
-
maybe in the future… MAYBE.
For creating plugin that works with command line rar. That will have to be in PA 2008 since current plugins can do only extract.
But again, MAYBE.
-
Ok, thank you for taking it into consideration.

This would be the #1 program if you could make RAR with File Repairing and variable amount of redundancy for better error ercovery.
