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. -
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! -
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.

Hi,
I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.
At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode
I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
Basically, the aim is:
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…:)
