    • Optimize archive on Context Menu

      W

      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

    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      Z

      It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    • Highlighting files and folders in Add modes

      PA_Fan

      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.

    • .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu

      C

      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?

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      TheAndyMac

      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.

    • Windows 11 Context menu support

      BigMike

      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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      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.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

      First of all, congratulations to the programmers on the new version of PowerArchiver. It looks like there’s enough in the Pro version to finally make it irresistable for me to finally register.

      There was a screenshot in the PA 2009 Beta 1 announcment thread that I can hopefully illustrate what I’m requesting. The screenshot I’m talking about is this one:

      http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/pa2009black.png

      The preview window is awesome as is the file view pane with the thumbnails of each image. I’d love to see an option/toggle/toolbar button that would carry the image thumbnail feature over when viewing an archive full of images. As it is now all I get when I open an archive with the thumbnail view active is a generic ACDSee icon (that’s my default image viewer).

      Maybe I’m missing the setting that would do what I am asking, but I don’t think I missed it. Please let me know if I have, though.

      Implementing the feature with an easy way to turn it on and off at will would probably be best as archives with hundreds (or thousands) of images would probably bog down performance so a toggle or toolbar button somewhere would probably be best.

        here is the reason we implemented preview window instead of thumbnails - for both, time to extract/prepare/show would be the same. And this way you get large picture instead of relativly tiny thumbnail.

        We do have an idea for the future versions (PA 2010), that might get both of these together in perfect fashion, but I wont say it publicly until it is released :)

          I totally understand why you didn’t implement the feature. I figured that things would slow way down and it’d take nearly the same time as extracting the pictures.

          Having said that, though, I’d still love it as a toggle button on the main interface, though. There are a few situations I run into where I’d like to see everything in an archive in thumbnail form rather than either click on each picture in an archive to see the preview or extract everything and then view them just to delete the ones I don’t want to work with right then.

          I respect your design decision, though. At least it gives me something to gripe about till PA 2010 comes out because everything else about PA 2009 seems to be spot on perfect so far.

            thank you :).

            p.s. it will takes us quite an while to implement it for 2010, it is not something we can do at flick of the switch… but it is doable.
