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.
-
SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.
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 …
