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.
New wishes for the next version

Hi all,
Currently PA Pro can upload archive to FTP/FTPS site, what about adding WebDav and Amazon S3 compatibility in PA Pro 2010 ?
-
As PowerArchiver Pro is able to mount ISO file thank to Virtual drives, what about using this facility to mount other archive type as zip or 7Z ?
-
out of curiosity, what possible use would it be to mount zip file as an dvd-rom device?

Currently, I use another software, Winmount, available at http://www.winmount.com, which is able to mount several type of files, iso, and many many oter ones and it would be nice if I could use one tool instead of two to deal with my archive files…

yeah, but why would you mount zip file as dvd rom? Whats the use for it?
-
just making sure there isnt something that I am missing here :-)

I did not think the PA Virtual drive was for DVD rom image only…
I saw it as a virtual generic driver abble to mount every type of archive…
The main goal we can find here is the ability to browse archives qhichkly without opening a particular software as the virtual drive is available at the operating system level … -

Both XP and Vista have this ability built in. It is also the first thing I disable when installing either of these two OSs :).

iso “archives” are different, as they are used for many different purposes, some of which require that they are loaded as dvd rom drives for them to function properly.

Ok, understood now ! But why having developped such functionality then in PA whereas free alternative as Virtual Clone Drive for example exists ?
More precisely Winmount has not only mount but also browse and compress archive management facilities…
It’s true that Winmount’s archive features are limited compared to PA’s ones but those are most of the time sufficient to deal with archives quickly and conveniently…currently PA Pro handles ISO images, which is true is the most used format concerning this type of usage, but are there other image types support planned as .NRG for example ?

Vista and XP can only handle zip and cab but no other archives….
For me it is very practical … -
Other wishes already suggested in the past …
Currently we can Print file listing to html or text documents, it would be nice if we could have the ability to print file listing to clipboard too…
Having some archive infos displayed when hovering archives (such as files and folders number and their compressed size).
IT could be displayed thanks to tooltips or a dedicated archives tab in the file properties…
As far as I remember Winzip has this feature since years … -
you need to write separate wishlist thread for each wish, otherwise we wont be able to keep track of them properly.

Ok! Should I rewrite those already made or can I go on and create a single thread only for the upcoming ones ?
-
ones that you care about, please do… otherwise, we might miss them…thanks.
-
Ok, so I will let this thread as it is now (most of wishes I made there was very old ones)… and I hope they will end in a next version of PA !

Finally did it as I have few minutes to spend …
