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…
-
It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.
-
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. -
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 :(
StuffIt (.sit)
-
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.
-
I support this whish.
-
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?
-
StuffIt offers a SDK for software developers, so it should be possible to integrate SIT: http://www.stuffit.com/win/sdk/index.html
-
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!
-
Hi, sorry to bump it but, no news/reply?
-
StuffIt offers a SDK for software developers, so it should be possible to integrate SIT: http://www.stuffit.com/win/sdk/index.html
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.
-
at least SIT extraction would be very useful
-
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.
