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.) -

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.

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?

Filenames with asian characters
-
It would be nice if Powerarchiver could open archives that have asian characters in their filename.
If I try to open such a file, Powerarchiver says that it could not open the file and that it is not a valid archiv.But 7zip can open these files.
-
welcome to PowerArchiver forums!
what archive format are you trying to open?
thanks,
Serhiy -
when I try to open rar-files, then comes the error message.
when I try to open zip-files, then he opens without error message but displays no files. In the Title bar it replaces the asian characters with “?” and in the Status bar it displays “Total 0 files, 0 kB [4.194.304 kB]”. -
you have to enable support for that language in language and settings, non unicode setting… it will work only then (for filenames of archives).
thanks,
-
Sorry, but can you please explain it a bit more to me?
I don’t know exactly what you mean. -
Go to Control Panel> Language and Regional Settings.
Then go to Advanced tab and there you can set language for non-unicode programs…
That will make it work.
thank you!
-
Thanks. It does work now. But this only works for one language. If I have for example files with chinese characters and with korean characters I need to change the language settings everytime? I tried it now with chinese filenames and it works but files with korean characters doesn’t work. Then I need to change the language again. Isn’t there any other I can do?
Or will Powerarchiver support unicode in the future? -

We do plan to support unicode archive filenames in the future, it is just that we do not have time to implement it right now. We hope to add it in one of the updates within few months.
We gradually expanded our unicode support in past few years.
thanks,

Bam! Wish granted. Please look at PA 2009 Beta 1.

Wow. This is a great advancement of Powerarchiver. I tested the new version but it seems it doesnt work 100%.
For example in the title bar are question marks instead of the asian characters.
And it seems that it doesn’t work with zip files because when I open a zip file powerarchiver displays no files but in rar files it does.Will this be fixed in the final version?

neither of these will - caption is not possible at all until delphi comes out with unicode support. But that is just cosmetic issue - everything works.
For Zip, we need to start supporting unicode zips, which we wont for another 4-5 months now.
Most importantly, it actually works now (for rar and 7zip).
