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 -
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. -
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.

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: -
OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

I know CRC32 was the standard for checking the integrity of compressed files but it is not really used anymore. Can you add ones that are used now MD5 or SHA?
-
Opening the ‘Backup’ I still wonder how PA is ordering the files.
It’s not by name, not by last run…
Is it not possible to have them ordered by NAME (default).
Now you have to click on Name to have a meaning overview. If you jump to ‘archive’ and back to ‘backup’, they are again disordered0_1523006481222_7f290e95-2f9a-4c85-bdc1-d8ba0831b91f-image.png

Extract here Bug with spanned archive - severe bug
-
If I mark several spanned archives in the explorer and try to use the “Extract here” function of the Explorer contextmenu, PA always says “please open the first part of the spanned archive”, if it tries to open the part of the archive which is not the first part.
PA should be able to auto. recognize spanned archives, although the opened archies is not the FIRST archive of the spanned archive set like in WinRAR.

How is this an severe bug? First of all, it only happens in PA 6.xx spanned archives, which have all of the files marked as .zip (which is also why newer zip spanning formats dont), and I PowerArchiver does tell you where the issue is.
If anything it should go to the wishlist, since it would be an new feature, but hardly an earth shattering bug.
thanks,

thanks for the fast answer spywolf ;)
It’s not just happens on spanned ZIP archives, also on spanned RAR archives. PA says, where the issue is, but it is still annoying to click away all those dialogboxes, especially if you have selected a large amount of spanned archives.
-
What happens when you select only one file/spanned archive?
-
The same.
If I want to open a spanned archive like
CR.part7.rar
CR.part2.rar
CR.part3.rar
CR.part4.rar
CR.part5.rar
CR.part6.rar
CR.part1.rarI always have to select the first one for the “Extract Here” Command.
In this caseCR.part1.rar
It would be good, if it is uninportant which part you select, that PA can auto. see, that e.g. part 6 and part 3 are part of ONE spanned archive.
-
yes, I second klumy’s request…and guess this is a bug and the thread should be moved to the proper section…

It was actually planned for 9.0, and was working fine in earlier alpha’s, I will see with Ivan why was it taken out of the final versions… (ability to select any rar multivolume and PA would automatically open first).

thank you spywolf !!
