    • Include Virtual Drive as standalone in the installer

      2

      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!

    • Suggestion to improve .pa format

      Brian Gregory

      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.)

    • Quake 1/2 .PAK file support

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Find file in archive.

      Luxor

      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.

    • Encrypt files inside archive that has already been created [.zipx]

      2

      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!

    • Fast Extract large files directly to target directory

      2

      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!

    • Serpent-256 Encryption for PAE/PAE2

      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?

    • Make portable version compatible with PortableApps

      A

      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.

    • Command Line Switch for View Mode

      BigMike

      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.
      I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
      Basically, the aim is:

      Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode

    • move back and forth via prev/next buttons in archive/folders

      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?

    • Backups files ordering by NAME as default

      pirrbe

      Opening the ‘Backup’ I still wonder how PA is ordering the files.
      It’s not by name, not by last run…
      Is it not possible to have them ordered by NAME (default).
      Now you have to click on Name to have a meaning overview. If you jump to ‘archive’ and back to ‘backup’, they are again disordered

      I have a folder called extracted as my default extracted folder (d:/extracted).

      I would like the files extracted to be in a subfolder in that extracted folder when i use the right click/extract to option. However, I cannot see any option in the config to allow a subfolder to be created. i.e. d:/extracted/abcdef/

      This is useful if you are extracting multiple archives and dont want all the files to end up in the same root folder.

      Can you point me to the option that enables that or if it doesnt exist, please consider it for a future release?

      Thanks.

        You need to look in Shell extensions in the configuration window
        Under the extract tab you should find Extract archive to subfolder.
        Add it to your shell extensions.

          That allows a subfolder to be created in the current folder but not your chosen extracted folder.

              That option makes sense. However, if I add it as shell extension, it doesnt appear in the right click menu. The 3 other extract options do.

              It doesnt appear in main menu or submenu.

                  In the context menu it has:
                  Extract to….
                  Extract here
                  Extra to current folder/filename

                  In the configuration/shell extensions I have added:

                  Extract archive to…
                  Extract here
                  Extract archive to subfolder
                  Extract archive to filename (multiple archives…)

                  So, you can see the context menu is missing that last one. If I remove the first three from being available, leaving just the last one, then no entry appears in the menu at all.

                        The folder is d:\extracted. At the moment, it extracts them all into the d:\extracted. Ideally I would like it to be d:\extracted\zipnamefolder\

                        That appears to be what the “Extract archive to filename (multiple archives….)” suggests should happen but that option doesnt appear in the context menu when you right click on the archive.

                            Good catch spwolf; as “Extract to \filename” only works in current folder, I thought doubledoom wanted an option to extract to the configured default folder in options?

                            Doubledoom - select more than one archive before right-click.

                              Vista x32 sp1. I just tested it on my x32 vista laptap as well with a clean install and same occurs on there.

                              still doesnt appear.

                              yes. If you have the default extract location set to your chosen folder it will dump all files into that folder. However, that gets messy if you extract multiple archives. Hence they the option for creation of subfolders in the default folder is desirable.

                                    ok, lets try this again ;)

                                    set a default extract folder called d:\extracted (drive and folder name doesnt matter as long as the you are setting a folder as your default).

                                    If you want to extract files using the right click in explorer you have:
                                    1 - Extract to…
                                    2 - Extract here
                                    3 - Extract to [subfolder in the current folder]

                                    option 1 puts all the extracted files into the default folder but doesnt put them in a subfolder for each extracted archive. option 2 is not of use here. Option 3 does create a subfolder but not in the default extracted folder but the current folder.

                                    There should be an option to have a subfolder created in the default extracted folder for each extracted archive.

                                    The main benefit of having a subfolder created is that currently if you extract say five archives they all extract directly into the default folder. This can make it messy and can create issues for files of the same name. Whereas if a subfolder was created for each extracted archive it would be a tidy and manageable solution.

                                      you can use drag and drop right click for extract to filename/ to achieve the same result. I know it is a bit more work, but it does work.

                                        Perhaps I could suggest it is something to add to the wishlist. :)

                                        for the queue function to work well, then subfolder creation would be a requirement for extraction.
