    • Optimize archive on Context Menu

      W

      I noticed that the option to add the optimize archive function to the context menu is missing on Windows 10.
      Opening each archive with the interface in order to click it becomes tedious with many files.

      Same for others functions like Remove Archive Encryption

    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      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!

    • 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

      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!

      Running on Vista and I add files to a new archive, the places bar only displays: Desktop, Documents, Computer and Network Locations.

      (1) Is it possible to edit/change those places? I would like to add “Recent Places” as seen in Vista’s open/save dialogs.

      I would also like to change a couple other places. Also I can I add more places to the existing list? Or is it limited to 4 places?

      (2) The documents icon looks like its from Win7 while the other icons look like Vista icons? Can the Vista icons be changed to match the W7 documents icon? For the sake of continuity.

        Marc I’m running Windows 7 and those icons look correct to me…I don’t think they all changed in the transition from Vista to W7.

        I would also like to change a couple other places. Also I can I add more places to the existing list? Or is it limited to 4 places?

        I think 5 is the most you can have if it’s based the same as an OS…I know I generally change mine using Tuneup Utilities 2009…not so sure it will change them in PA though.

        links below maybe useful…

          Maybe they are the same icons as W7, but the documents icon looks like it came from another set. But if thats whats seen in 7 then it is what it is.

          Recent Places though seems like a logical and usefull addition to me.

          Thanks for the reply and info :)

            Actually TuneUp wont change the places bar for PA as its specific to the application. Every other program on my system displays the following (see attached)

              I guessed PA might over-rule whatever was set in a third party application…it’s now down to the PA team to modify it I guess if they so desire…but I must admit I too would like the option to add to them or at least change them.

              just want to confirm also Marc that the ‘documents’ icon is indeed a Windows 7 icon as are the others…
              they don’t look quite as good but it’s probably because they have been ‘down-sized’ slightly to accommodate them in the box.

                Changing them is more important me. That would be a nice addition/change in a future release.
