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.
PA 2009 ISO Image mounting
-
The context menu should allow you to mount direct to an existing virtual drive not go through the wizard.
try mounting and unmounting several images, an awful lot more needs to be done to make this user friendly.
why not allow creation of a number of virtual drives rather than creating and removing them continuously
suggested mount options e.g.
- to existing virtual drive
- to new virtual drive
suggested unmount options e.g
- unmount this image
- unmount all images
- unmount from drive x
looking forward to the next update
-
context menu of PA Starter?
-
i meant the context menu when right clicking on an image file (e.g. iso) within windows explorer.
browse to an iso then right click and mount image on the virtual dvd drive is what i’m after not running through a wizard.
adding the mount image option from the configuration of pa only passes the file path to the mount image wizard doesn’t actually do the mounting.

well it spares you from going to PA, running wizard and manually finding the ISO.
You want it to simply mount the iso without any user interaction?

yes exactly right click and mount to drive X so to speak.
currently if you mount ten images in a row and after lots of clicking and drive installations you then have ten additional drives and would then have to manually run the wizard ten time to remove all the drives.
i would prefer a configurable number of virtual drives installed and have a right click mount to X that would automatically unmount anything that was currently mounted.
I was just adding to the wishlist and hoping the functionality might become more like daemon tools with the awxDTools shell extension installed whilst pa is still in beta.
The image mounting was the main reason i upgraded to pro so i could have two less programs installed but at the moment it’s not really in a user friendly state.
So here’s hoping to the next refresh might have some tweaks :)

it is major work though, so dont expect it in 11.00… however it is one of the areas that we will be improving for next releases… thanks
-
we might be able to do some changes in 11.00 that will make it a LOT easier… stay tuned…
-
with beta 4, you can set maximum number of VD’s, and it will always remount when limit is reached.
That will definely help in 95% of situations until we put more features into PA Starter.
-
workin a treat, now if we can just not display the wizard getting rid of the two clicks needed to close it we’ll be away.
