    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      Z

      It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    • Highlighting files and folders in Add modes

      PA_Fan

      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.

    • .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu

      C

      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?

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      TheAndyMac

      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.

    • Windows 11 Context menu support

      BigMike

      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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      Z

      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.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images

      F

      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?

    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      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.

      I am sure this has been requested but couldn’t find anything using search but what are the possibilities of having .sit and other mac compression/decompression support in PowerArchiver, as I don’t want to buy more software.

          untill the company that makes sit compression releases a decompression or unsit dll there will be no support for sit in powerarchiver due to copyright restrictions.

            I guess there may be hope now that it is no longer Aladdin. I believe they got bought out recently by another company. We can only hope now!

              Both of those Macintosh specific formats should be available.
              Then you can add another two to your growing list of formats :)

                if there is a licenceing problem with some extra formats it would be nice like tugzip to have a plugin that actually uses certain formats but you have to get the program that makes them and install them, but use pa as an interface.

                what does everyone else think about this Tugzip does this and it works.

                  If I have to install StuffIt anyway, I can use it directly and don’t need an additional interface in PA. However, I don’t want to install an extra program or plugin (StuffIt). I want the functionality integrated in PA. Unfortunately, it seems that this is not possible. :(

                    Actually, is licensing needed to develop and release a program which can extract proprietary format like ACE, RAR and SIT?

                        Any news about the .sit (de)compression feature?

                        This is very important to share encrypted files with MAC users since Zip AES encryption is not handled by MAC OS nor programs like Stuff-it in MAC!

                            it is not an free, i would suspect it is pretty expensive per license product.

                            Currently there is no way we can do it, since we are an US company, we can be sued for copyright/trademark/whatever.

                            It is a bit easier for European companies since their laws are vague on the subject.

                                UnStuff can at least be implemented. On their sdk page there is a form, perhaps someone should contact them and see how much it will cost for commericial endevours.

                                Cheers

                                  whether or not its free your right it should be implimented.

                                  its in stuffit’s interest to have as many archivers working on there sit format even if it is only decompression.

                                    it is not free, and i doubt it can be implemented at all, even at huge financial cost.

                                    so we will not implement it, until it is freely available.

                                      Having .sit installed in power archiver is a great thing but if there are still issues about the license, I wish that it is possible in the near future.
