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 -
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. -
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.

Hi,
I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.
At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode
I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
Basically, the aim is: -
OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

32bit Shell Extensions for Vista 64bit Needed

It’s been almost a week, could I get a confirmation / eta for this please.
Thanks.

we never comment on wishes, until it is time to implement them or they were implemented…
future major release.

Please advise whether this will be fixed in PA 2009. Thank you.

we will implement the feature eventually, but i can not promise you when… and i could not find any threads on tc website on how to do it from original article, that might speed things up.
-
both threads you specify on original post, dont have any info except that it doesnt work…
I certainly could not find info on how to make it work or how other programs made it work? I might be blind and it is late here too…
thanks!

I don’t run a 64-bit OS, so I’m not really sure if this will work, but if you can install both 32-bit and 64-bit PA side-by-side on the machine you should get both 32 and 64-bit shell extensions.
I do know this worked for an acquaintance that wanted 32 and 64-bit extensions for 7Zip.

I would try option 2, however the path should be dynamic and not hard-coded (needs to point to actual install path).

it really has nothing to do with what we need to do :-).
Is there an app that does it from install? So we can see how they are doing it.
But if I am thinking right, we would have to install two distinctivly different shell extensions which I am not sure that will work properly right now - in fact, i am sure it wont.
I will put it on the wishlist for 11.5…

Men, I’m seeing some truly fantastic features being implemented in PA 2009. And it kills me because these features are right up my alley and I’d be able to offer some really good feedback & suggestions, as I have in the past. But without 32-bit extensions working for 64-bit Vista the program is dead in the water for me. This situation is making me quite blue…

it is not simple - it will take a lot of our time, since way we access shell extensions right now would have to be changed due to 2 extensions installed at the same time…. so thats why no way we could have done it for 11.00…
-
Okay…

Is there any way the method for choosing which extension is installed/used can be user-configurable? At the moment I believe the installer is making a default decision based upon which version of OS is detected (since there aren’t separate downloads for 32-bit / 64-bit).
This would at least offer a choice for people that need PA to work with 32-bit apps running on 64-bit Windows and wouldn’t require changing the system for accessing shell extensions to allow 2 concurrent shell extensions, one for each architecture…
Another idea is splitting up the versions, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. True, having one installer for both versions is cooler…but this isn’t working 100% yet. If there were separate installers it might be possible to install them to separate directories and ‘hack’ compatibility for both architectures temporarily, no?
It doesn’t have to be pretty for now - we understand it will take fundamental changes for it to be done the right way - but please at least offer a temporary workaround. This is a blocking situation (there, I didn’t call it a bug ;)).

I’m finding that I need this support too (running 64-bit XP Pro and wanting to use a 3rd party filemanager that’s 32-bit only).
I’m near certain that if you made a 32-bit-only installer available that I could get this to work well enough by having 32 and 64 bit PAs installed side-by-side. This workaround works for other shell extenders (TortoiseSVN for example).
