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.

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!

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.) -
I would like to make a further plea for my mouse’s backwards and forwards keys to work when navigating to and from files, just like they do in explorer. IIRC, I was told that this functionality would be added to v2019.
Mni tnx.

I use PA for everything, if I can.
Would be really nice to maybe get built in support for Quake 1/2 .pak files.
More info on the format, seems simpler than I thought: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/.pak -
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. -
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!

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!
-
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?
Thank you for the consideration!

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.

Presently, PowerArchiver 2019 (any build) cannot rename PBS filenames by single clicking on such entry or right-click menu has no “Rename” feature!
Hmm, even pressing F2 on selected entry does nothing :(

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

There needs to be a setting for the backup feature to set how many backup files to keep.
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: -
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.
