I noticed that the option to add the optimize archive function to the context menu is missing on Windows 10.
Opening each archive with the interface in order to click it becomes tedious with many files.Same for others functions like Remove Archive Encryption

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.
Bug reporting tools
-
like to see regular updates of what is fixed in each new beta / release so we can check it out.
Also what we might expect so we can gear ourselves up for testing not just that component but all of powerarchiver fully.
is there a free tool wich would help beta users of powerarchiver report there system. Some people can not report processes or bugs properly or what is running at the time on their system. I use a program now for this instance but untill i have fully checked it out i will not list it, but i was wondering if powerarchiver developers could recommend one to us, so we are all compatible and aid them in making paowerarchiver the best on the market.
-
it’s a good Idea David…I’d be all for that.
-
we usually release list of fixes, this release was unusual as we had pre-beta that only some users had access to and then official beta 1.
-
i understand that but having a tool that can take a snapshot of a system including running processes and maybe some other things can help identify bugs or conflicts with other softwrae would be a help am i right
i think so and so do many other users
-
this progrm i have tested and works it creates a snapshot of your system and puts it in a txt file that you can edit with details of how the bug was made.
great program
-
thanks for link David…will check it out.
hope it runs in vista as I see no mention of it doing so. -
what do the powerarchiver developers think of this software? any good on helping bug test pa
-
bugs are 99% not due to operating system or hardware you use, so what we need is clear and concise report of how to reproduce this… no software can do that so for us it has little value otherwise we would have specialized tool inside of PA for that. We dont because it doesnt offer much value and it makes PA slower and bigger.
-
nuff said I guess…:)
-
Did you know windows 7 has a tool like this!
-
why is that?
cause it is usefull
if you can tell what is running on a computer when software is running like powerarchiver you can recreate the situations of crashes. more often than not people report bugs but no onme can reproduce them, cause other software are causing it.
-
david, you usually report bug in one line sentence :-).
so whatever you want to do to improve bug reporting you can do it.
For us, 99% of that info is not useful, because last time another software caused issue with PA was 3-4 years ago… and thats among more than 1,000 other bugs reported.
What we need is nicely written way to reproduce the issue, and that will help us the most, as well as being patient and answering our questions, even if sometimes they seem endless :-)
