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. -
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.
Idea for new Version of PA
-
I was just thinking, man it would be nice if I could use just one app for all my archiving needs. Unfortunately PA doesn’t have RAR functionality. This means I have to use WinRAR also, and I don’t know about you, but my right-click menu is getting pretty damn full!
I know the reason for this is because the RAR format is proprietary technology, and PA would have to pay for the licensing which would make PA cost more, but maybe you could offer two versions of PA in the future:
One regular PA version, and one RAR capable version… Maybe call it “PoweRARachiver”, or “PowerArchiver+R” (You know, like DVD+R)
IDK, just something to think about…

Who think about RAR…:eek:
We have 7zip…:cool:

7zip keeps geting better and better! I very rarely use RAR formating attal!
I also think the developers of PowerArchiver would prefer to keep the name the same without changing it to much… If anything was to change then you Would get somethin on the lines of PowerArchiver Professional and PowerArchiver Standard.
Pro then could possibly be with additional features and part of them would be rar…
but again that costs time and most importantly money.

I agree that rar is not my favorite, but it is very popular online. Practically everything is either in .zip, .rar, or .iso… It doesn’t really make sense since .rar is so restrictive as far as what apps can extract it.
Does anyone know why everyone prefers .rar over .zip for spanned archives?
-
Does anyone know why everyone prefers .rar over .zip for spanned archives?
Because there are many different “editions” of .zip format and if you create a Spanned, AES encrypted, PPMd –compressed … or some other kind of “Advanced” zip not every archiving utility will be able to open/extract your archive… This is the main problem of zip format…

as suhhested by myself before why not have plugins that have serial numbers that you have to pay for. addon extra for more formats you can buy if needed
-

because that option does not exist. You can not do that. We can not do that.
On the other side, 7zip now considerably better compresses than rar so…
