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.

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.

you want certain format support for PA? What are these backup files compressed with?
-
at first glance it seems they are *.gz files….is that correct ?
‘By default Plesk backup is gzipped’ was the info I managed to dig up.
-
I don’t know exactly what format… All I know is my co-worker came up to me asking if I could help him recover from Plesk backup file. I proceeded to use PowerArchiver which I am a very proud user and then it couldn’t do the job and we had to use Stuff It Expander.

Extracting files from Plesk Backup
–------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The backup file obtained from the Plesk Backup utility is a multi-part mime-encoded file. Each component within the file is for a specific purpose or location. There are individual areas for the configuration files, databases, SSL certificates, mail, and websites. The backup file is useful if you wish to restore an entire site or server. However if you need only a specific directory or a selection of files, the restore functionality with Plesk does not allow this. Instead you will need to follow the instructions below to separate the components and then extract the information you need.
The process is to use a program like ripMime (project page: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ripmime/) to extract out the different mime-encoded components of the backup file.
To download this program into the current directory (I would suggest doing this in /root) use the command
wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/ripmime/9…1.4.0.5.tar.gz
and then extract it with the command
tar -zxvf ripmime-1.4.0.5.tar.gz
Once the program is downloaded and installed, you can then run the command
/path_to_file/ripmime /path_to/backup_file /directory_for_extracted_files
to extract the individual mime-encoded components into the directory you specified.Once the files are extracted, you’ll be able to use the ‘tar’ command to extract all or only specific files from the backup files present. You’ll need to identify which file contains the information you are looking for, so you will need to run the command
tar -ztvf /directory_for_extracted_files | grep directory_or_filename
Once you know which file contains the information you are searching for, you can then extract the directory or file with the command
tar -zxvpf /directory_for_extracted_files/filename_containing_information directory_or_filename
Once the directory or file is extracted, you can then move it to the proper location. The permissions and file ownership should be correct as long as you use the ‘mv’ command since we preserved ownership and permissions with the ‘p’ flag in the ‘tar’ command. -
