    • 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

      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!

    • 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)

        I’m more intrigued by the ‘Super Secret App’. You should not have even mentioned that, LOL.

        We’re a curious lot here and I’d take some pills for your headache…which is yet to come!

                  Guys I think it’s great. One more thing - every time I make an update I have to manually end my explorer.exe process (if I don’t, it will think for a long time and then ask me to do so) and then reinitiate it.
                  Are you benchmarking on Vista/win7 with UAC activated?

                    Yeah, it took 65 sec on Win7 w/ UAC, with clicking on dialogue boxes instantly, on very fast computer with 4 Mbs connection… we will see how it goes with new update system ;-).

                    As to the explorer.exe, thats feature of Windows Restart Manager, something is wrong with yours then… definetly not an perfect Windows feature but it is better than what we had before (which was nothing). Not sure how will this be influencing it, as we will be accessing restart manager directly, instead of through Windows Installer.

                      This will make life allot easier! maybe we could have background update… where if selected by the user PowerArchiver updates to the latest Beta or Full release and installs in the background ready for the next restart.

                          It took around 65 seconds until PowerArchiver 2010 11.60 was installed and running again (upgrade from PA 2007)

                          So, who was still running PA 2007 :eek:

                          Incremental update - Yes
                          Parallel/One-Step update - Yes

                          No mention of update option for shell menu (yet) :p

                          P.S. would this also update for “patches” like

                                              It’s quite common and explorer.exe always automatically restarts. Mildly inconvenient at most.

                                                you mean the slowness is common or restart is common? I believe Explorer gets prevented by some apps to do proper restart, I had that problem with Win7 RC’s, but is gone now (i also have less apps installed).

                                                But the whole point is that when some installation needs to replace file which is in use by system, unlike before, it shuts down that application first, install new software, and restarts it (in this case Explorer)… in XP and before, you had to restart your computer which was rather inconvinient ;-)

                                                  Sorry for not explaining properly,

                                                  It is quite common for the PA install/upgrade to have to close down explorer.exe. Explorer always starts again automatically and the whole business is a minor inconvenience so I’ve never bothered reporting it.

                                                    Sorry for not explaining properly,

                                                    It is quite common for the PA install/upgrade to have to close down explorer.exe. Explorer always starts again automatically and the whole business is a minor inconvenience so I’ve never bothered reporting it.

                                                    Regards

                                                    DrT

                                                    yes, thats the way Windows Restart Manager works ;-). There is no other way to replace system files (such as pa shell extensions dlls) than to close explorer, replace them and restart it. Windows Restart Manager is new feature of Vista/Win7 that Windows Installer (MSI) uses and is mandatory.

                                                    Previously, you had to either manually do that, or restart your computer.

                                                          I have this one too and not just on one system or OS either (all my PCs are multibooting).

                                                              not yet…. some things are done, some are not.

                                                              there is time to create wishlists still too, so if you have anything in mind, write it up ;-)
