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…
Better pae tools
-
what i’m looking foir is a way to send a pae file to someone that does not have powerarchiver, so they can use
-
Nice Idea! I wonder if this could be murged into the SFX Wizard?
I know that with “Steganos” you can download an decrypter program free of charge that allows you to decrypt any “.sef” file from security suite.
Very handy to have esspecially when you consider the cost of the application itself.
-
As far as i know it is possible to create an self-extracting archive with PEA encryption. The .exe file can be send to the persons without PA.
Keep looking for interesting software.

Jr Heuwing, your rite It would be possible to use PAE encryption when creating a SFX method.
Maybe spwolf or another member of PA can clear this up? and if possible add this to the wish list for PA 2008!
Currently the user only has 3 options, ZIP, CAB or 7-ZIP SFX. The PAE Encryption is unique to PowerArchiver. so I think standard encryption protocols are used for the three.
-
it doesnt really fit into sfx wizard since pae is just container format. So you still have to select what compression to use.
-
i understand its a container format but it would be nice to have the option of self extracting pae files as i use it all the time to store all type of compession files like rar and zip 7zip in one file which is only possible with pae as i don’t want to compress each compressed file in the pae.
pae is powerfully and usefully.
-
you can then create zip file without compression maybe and then turn it into PAE?
-
true but it doesn’t answer how the user without powerarchiver can extract the files within the pae
