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…

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)

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.

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.
PowerArchiver Unicode Interface

Hi there,
I
ve searched for unicode problems, but mainly the search came up with unicode file name problems… Well, right now i use the German version of PA 10.22.02\. Im running on a Japanese Windows Vista Sp1 install, however. This gives me pretty much every German special character, that is ÄÖÜ äöü ß, interpreted as Japanese Text due to the system locale being Japanese.
The same goes for the Shell Shortcuts in Windows Explorer.
Ive even tried AppLocale, but that doesnt help either, though I suspect that since there is no current version of it for Windows Vista, it might not work at all because of the new rights model used in Vista…Are there any plans to correct this at all? Or can I counter that somewhere hidden in the PA options?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
are we talking about interface, or file listings? Shell extensions change to unicode will wait until next major release (not one coming very soon) but regards to other things, it should be improved in upcoming one.
Of course, you can change your system locale to german and it will work perfectly fine, even under Japanese Vista, if you select proper options under Language options in Control Panel.
-
Yes, we`re talking interface here, not file listings inside an archive or any such thing. I will produce a Screenshot for you.
I know it would work fine under German locale, however then Japanese programs would not as well as Vista would probably keep bugging me…
Anyway, nowadays I think there is no need to have ANSI programs that look different everywhere depending on the system locale when you can have UTF-8 programs that work fine everywhere.
Thats why Im asking this.cYa,
FreakRob

I understand - we will see what we can do. Unfortunatly, it is not as simple as it seems and as it should be.
thanks

Thank you :D
That`s really great support here.cYa,

Any news on this topic? I just D/Led version 11 and still no change :(

version of our programming language that natively supports Unicode has been released month ago… thats only way this is possible, and it is major work that is coming within next 12 months or maybe even a lot sooner if everything goes as planned…
-
So is this still being worked on? Not being able to work with files that have characters not in the locale as well as the visual interference with the interface are stll really bugging me.

PA 2010 can perfectly work with unicode files in zip and 7zip formats. ZIP Unicode support has been added and was big part of new zip engine…
Interface itself is still not unicode, and it wont be until PA 2011 when we change to Delphi 2009 which supports unicode. We already did most of the work, but few components that we are using are still in beta testing with Delphi 2009.

What about the rar format?
Actually, PA 2010 11.50.48 RC1 doesn’t display unicode names correctly inside rar files. (It seems to extract them OK.) -

Yes, I am. What is the best way to file a bug report?
