    • 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!

    • 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!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images

      F

      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?

    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      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.

      One feature that PA really lacks is the ability to drag and drop folders out of an archive. I really hope this feature is added soon.

      Also, when dragging folders into an archive, it would be nice if there was an extra option to ‘keep folder name’, currently the options are to add all files in the folder to the root of the archive, or to add that entire path.

      so right now if you drag and drop from the desktop to the archive your option to keep folder paths make it include:

      documents and settings\my name\desktop\folder name

      where as i’d like it be able to just get the folder name in there.

        As to path suggestion, you can already do that by using “Normal path” option in Config> Misc.

        thanks,

          I thought this looked familiar :p
          http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2

          a) When using explorer view
          Maybe - wait for 9.1 http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96

          b) So maybe seperate issue when using classic view
          Dragging Folder into existing archive does NOT store Folder name. The setting of “Normal path” option in Config> Misc. has no effect.

          With Flag SET:
          Create new Zip Archive - Add Folder - Relative Path - Works - Path is stored.
          Now switch to Windows Explorer (leaving PA with the Archive open).
          Drag another folder from Windows Explorer onto PA Archive Window.
          Do not select Full Path (we only want the dragged Folder)!
          New files are stored with NO path.

          With Flag NOT SET:
          Create new Zip Archive - Add Folder - Relative Path - Files are stored with NO path - As expected.
          Now switch to Windows Explorer (leaving PA with the Archive open).
          Drag another folder from Windows Explorer onto PA Archive Window.
          Do not select Full Path (we only want the dragged Folder)!
          New files are again stored with NO path.

              Correct.
              But as I said - a workaround is activate “Normal path” option in Config> Misc. Then open your archive in PA and use the ADD function (Add Folder / Relative paths) instead of Drag & Drop.

                  Hello

                  I’m testing version 9.11.01.

                  Drag a folder from Windows Explorer onto a open PA Archive Window doesn’t store the relative path - independent whether the “Normal path” option in Config> Misc is activated or not.

                  Adding with the Add-Command does work.

                  Greetings Nicolo

                    Possible reason I’ve noticed - the flag “Use normal relative path” does not stay checked.

                    Start PA
                    check the flag in “Configuration / Miscellaneous / Use normal relative path”
                    close config window (using OK)
                    {doesn’t matter if you now create an archive or not}
                    re-open the Config window again and the flag is NOT checked.

                    So PA always saves with this option disabled?

                      I believe “normal” path option was not enabled for D&D into archive, hence it does not work.

                      We will check it out.

                      thanks,
