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.
Hashing/checksumming for PowerArchiver Standard
-
PowerArchiver does everything I could hope my archiving program to do, except one thing! If PA had the ability to calculate and create secure checksum files for single files, it would be perfect. It would be very handy to use PA to create a checksum file, and then use PA to compress the checksum file along with the actual file in the same archive and mail it off - or burn it on a disc if that’s required and PA Pro is available on the system. It would be a great feature IMHO. The kind of hash algorithms I’d like to see are SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. Those are modern and especially the SHA-256 and SHA-512 are really reliable. MD5 is much more common but isn’t so great, really. Just a suggestion! ;)
-
did you request something like this recently or was it someone else?
-
Sorry if this has been requested before! I didn’t remember to do a search before making a new thread. :o I’m pretty sure I haven’t requested this before though. So… it wasn’t me, it was someone else! :D
Hmm, maybe it was this one that you remembered. http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1693 That thread asks for MD5 though. I’m kind of an elitist, and would prefer better algorithms like SHA-256 and SHA-512. :)
-
it is interesting though… many possibilities here :-).
Why do you want it to be inside the archive? How do you check hashes?
-
Sometimes I have a need to put a checksum file inside an archive for various reasons, but I don’t need the checksum file to automatically included in the archive, I can just put it in the archive myself. Right now I have to use cumbersome command line tools to create and verify the so far quite rarely used but very secure SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes (for MD5 and SHA-1 there are many GUI apps that work, but it definitely wouldn’t hurt if PA had those too, in addition to SHA-256 and 512).
So what I would like to see is a simple Create checksum/Verify checksum feature in PowerArchiver. It could be in the PA Shell Extensions, so you could right click on a file that you want to calculate checksums of in Windows Explorer and then choose Create SHA-256 checksum from the shell extension, and PA would then create the checksum file in the current folder. The verify checksum would work likewise: right-click on the checksum file, select verify. It would be very handy! And if it also worked inside PowerArchiver’s main view with a right click, that would be great too. :)

sounds like a ‘must have’ to me…:)
next release maybe ?..:rolleyes:Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 -
I think it would be great. And I don’t know of any other archiver that allows checksumming with SHA-2 family algorithms. Actually I don’t know many GUI apps that can do these more secure SHA-2 family checksums like SHA-256 and SHA-512. Having those in PowerArchiver would be very useful - I wouldn’t have to mess with the command line stuff anymore so often. :) In an ideal world tools for checksumming would come with Windows, but since Microsoft won’t do that…

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me too.
