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

Exceptional compression levels.
Thanks.
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…
Queue - add support for extracting specific files from archive
-
Hi all,
Long time PA user, but recently noticed an issue which is getting really annoying.
I’m trying to add an item to the queue , but in my particular case I only want to extract a single file from the archive. So I select the single file, right-click and select ‘Extract…’. In the extract dialog I then have ‘Selected files’ checked, but when I click on ‘Add to Queue’, the files option changes from ‘Selected files’ to ‘All files’. The result of which is that I can no longer extract a single file. In this case the ‘Do not extract pathnames’ is also ignored, even though it’s selected. Unselecting ‘Add to Queue’ results in the files option moving back to ‘Selected files’ again…! Grrrr…!! This is getting so annoying. I’m now finding that the queue is a complete waste of time to use if I can’t add extracts to the queue if I only want to extract a single file.
I’m sure it never used to work like this, and has only been introduced recently by an update.
My version details - 11.61.07 (12/2009) running on Windows 7 32-bit.
Mike.

moved it to wishlist, changed the title… thanks!

Is this really a wishlist item though? I could be wrong, but I’m almost sure that this was not the default behaviour in the previous version, in which case this is a bug.

as much as I know/remember, queue never supported extracting specific files from archive… i dont even think that our current scripts we use for queue support this, so this would be major addition.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me. I’ll be eagerly awaiting this being added to the next version.
