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.
-
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.
2009 Beta1: Go Button Image
-
This is not a complaint. But I was looking at the go button image and it dosent fit well with the other PA buttons and images.
I would like to propose changing it for continuity. Some people might think its trival or not important. But UI means alot to me.
Here are a few images I came up with for your consideration. Maybe some other PA users can post some images?
-
Not sure which “skin/mode” this refers to?
E.g. A green icon doesn’t fit using modern blue.Also, the circle clashes with the “go back / go next” icons.
-
it is an Vista button that signifies go to folder, we try to keep them same as in Windows so they look good :)
-
In Vista I’ve never seen a folder that looks like that. It was only a suggestion. I dont suppose there is a way to hide it?

then it is Win7 :-).
You wanted it, its there… there you go :-)
-
I know I requested it, and thanks. But I think it was better as a text button. The current image dosent have the PA look and feel. The image looks like an oddball in contrast to the other icons.
It reminds me when people skin applications and mix XP, Vista and KDE icons :D
Sorry. Im just a stickler when it comes to UI continuity.
-
why not just a png with lowered opacity in the centre so the background of each skin can be seen through it and the word ‘GO’ on it?…or has that already been tried?

When you say skins… You mean the downloaded skins and not the Office style UI?
Sounds like an interesting idea in any case.
The more I look at the current button image the more Im thinking I would prefer the original ‘Go’ text, but in a bold font.
-
I reckon it would work on ALL skins Marc…
I wouldn’t forsee any problems in the latest crop of current skins.I’m sure you and your graphical skills can whip one up…:)
-
there would be no going to text…. you guys need to learn consequences of your wishes.
:-))))))))))
-
I can accept that there may be consequences. Its hard to think of everything. Im half serious when I ask this but… Did you have any consequences in mind? lol
Just give me a hint. Would it be for not, if I were to create more images?
I dont mean this post to be negative. Its hard to put things in thier proper context ;) :D

Thats good enough for me and cant ask for more. Huge thanks!

you can and should always ask for more :-)

we already get our money’s worth but I’m not opposed to asking for more…:)
