Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?

[davidsplash]

it makes sense to have it commandline so we can choose and test the beta version of 7zip from within powerarchiver.

Means a lot less work for you and gives you more time to add other features.

waiting for something to become final leaves you behind the competitors who have a command line 7zip add in

What’s the difference between this and directly using the 7-zip command line?

What are those competitors? Maybe this will help us understand what you are talking about.

i would guess that competitors are those who dont know how to build their own dll interface so they have to use command line ;-).

regardless, it is not something for PA, we are not experimental compression application.

NSIS, InnoSetup extraction?

Vote for .msi

Since I don’t speak Croatian (guessing it is Croatian), I will just say happy holidays!

I vote for the EPUB format.

It’s already implemented in PA, but there is no explorer command to open the archive. Also, I need to arrange the files inside the EPUB/ZIP archive. This is important for the epub verification. Reference thread: http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4326

How about being able to mount a vhd?

[jasons]

The three most important formats for Microsoft-centric system administrators should be added post-haste (IMHO):

ISO
WIM
VHD

Note (for all those suggesting) MSIs, they are not a compression or archive format. MSIs can contain CABs in alternate streams, but the MSI itself is a well-documented, self-contained format that in and of itself does not contain other files.

par file format well worth it

[davidsplash]

its open source now

http://arj.sourceforge.net/

[davidsplash]

jar from arj software it compresses better than 7zip

[davidsplash]

zzip

[davidsplash]

isn’t it posible via plugins to add more archive formats?

wouldn’t it be an idea to have new formats as plugins. this way as in the case of the 7zip can be updfated with the developement of the format.

@davidsplash:

zzip

http://damiendebin.net/archives/zzip/index.php

Err … not exactly an up to date format

Current release of Zzip / Zzlib is 0.36c, 04-Jun-2001

We don’t want to add formats just because they exist(ed).

[Rodney R]

SQX (but NOT without recovery record support )
NRG (disk format)

[davidsplash]

par file format

[Innuendo]

Par isn’t really an archive format though. It’s more of a checksum/repair format and probably outside the realm of PowerArchiver.

Of course, SPWolf may disagree with me.

nothing is outside the realm of PA ;-)… but PAR had good tools from the start, and i am not sure what could PA do better there… never say never though, it is just that our development time is limited.
