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…
-
It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.
-
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.
-
Hi.
I noticed that when I want to run the Virtual Drive for the first time inside the PowerArchiver Burner it prompts to download it form the internet.
I was wondering, would it be OK to include this utility straight into the offline installer to be able to set it up locally?
Thank you!

How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files.
For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files.
Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.) -
I would like to make a further plea for my mouse’s backwards and forwards keys to work when navigating to and from files, just like they do in explorer. IIRC, I was told that this functionality would be added to v2019.
Mni tnx.
-
I use PA for everything, if I can.
Would be really nice to maybe get built in support for Quake 1/2 .pak files.
More info on the format, seems simpler than I thought: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/.pak -
Would it be possible at all in some future version perhaps, to have a “find file” function?
Reason I ask is that I was looking for a certain file I knew existed in an archive, but I had to unzip it then use another tool to find the file. It would have saved that extra step if that function existed in PA itself. -
Hi.
Is there a way to enable the user to encrypt the files inside a ZIPX archive that has already been created?
This could save time for large archives that the user may need to encrypt at a later stage or that he/she has forgotten to enable encryption before creating the archive,
Thank you!
-
Hi.
I would like to see a new feature implemented: a ‘Fast Extract’ Mode.
Currently PowerArchiver extracts files to a temporary directory and then moves them to the target directory chosen by the user. At least via drag and drop.
This can be both time consuming and needs free space on the system drive for large files.
Is there a way to directly extract files to the target directory with PowerArchiver?
And if not, can a feature like this be considered for future updates?Thanks very much!
-
Hello.
I believe it would be useful to implement Serpent-256 encryption for PAE/PAE2 formats, even though PowerArchiver offers strong encryption ciphers already.
(deleted part advertising other software - admin)
Do you think this will be a useful addition?
Thank you for the consideration!
-
Hello!
I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure).
I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos.
Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this.

Presently, PowerArchiver 2019 (any build) cannot rename PBS filenames by single clicking on such entry or right-click menu has no “Rename” feature!
Hmm, even pressing F2 on selected entry does nothing :(
7-zip SFX
-
All i want is to be able to create Self-extracting 7-zip archivers easily
When you update to the latest 7-zip.dll files 4. does that mean that 7zip selfextracting will be added. -
I support this wish… ;)
Thanks!
-
me, too ;)
-
me four :p
-
David Cornish’s SFX Maker currently only supports ZIP compression, but version 2.6 (under development) will support ZIP and CAB compression. RAR and 7zip are planned, but nowhere near ready.
-
Any news on when 7-zip SFX will be added, my only wish.
-
Thought I would bring this to the top. Hoping this might make it into 9.5 release
-
Where And When Is Sfx Maker 2.6 Released ??
-
When you update to the latest 7-zip.dll files 4. does that mean that 7zip selfextracting will be added.
-
What the dll has to do with sfx creating?:)
To support creating 7-zip sfxs, we have to make 7-zip sfx stub which is not easy.

Yes, the dll can’t help to make the sfx…
But: Will you add the SFX 7z support?
If it is not easy,
can you use the sources from http://www.7-zip.org/ ? -
but 4.18 is still beta :(
-
It wont be there for 9.5 for sure, but 9.6? why not… just keep requesting it :-).
-
I’m putting in my request for it.

i thought sfx maker would no longer be development? neways, cant wait for the next version of PowerArchiver
-
I support this Wish !
-
is there any way we could make our own sfx stubs for pa to be summited via the forum or by email to you for adding to the site.
-
I support Davidsplash idea about the sfx modules
-
Why not using the sfx stubs provided with the 7z dll?
-
I do. its just a pain having to write the script and then join the files together. I would prefer to do it inside powerarchiver than make an extra job for it. which is why i normally use cab or zip to package cause there included.
-
I meant this as a suggestion to the Powerarchiver people. It seems that they can’t provide us with their own sfx modules, so they should use the original 7z sfx modules.
-
I suggested that they use 7-zip32.dll which has a nice small sfx module in it and they could use the same file to create the 7-zips,
-
The competition has this feature nameing no names and you know who that is ult*****zip
so when will you impliment it?
-
we dont use generic sfx modules, once we have time, we will create PA’s sfx for 7zip.
thank you
-
7-zip SFX should be added soon. It’s one of the most useful functions. If you go to someone else, who doesn’t have 7zip, you need to create a SFX archive
-
A new version of Powerarchiver and still no 7-zip Sfx support. When will it be introduced, version 10
-

most likely… It will certainly not be in 9.6, and time is simply flying…

Although the code is somewhat broken, if you download the code for SFX Maker from http://www.davidcornish.com/download/sfxmaker.zip you could try working from that.

(Happy New Year before I disappear again for another couple of years ;) ) -
thanks David, downloaded and testing.
what is the settings.sfx command about.
i tried with a simple test linesfxmcmd “test.zip” “test.exe” /c:sfxtext /p /r:setup.exe
but nothing happened, except a popup window informing me that sfxmcmd.exe has encountered ad problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

bump
-
Does this mean that SFX is on its way for 7-zip files?
-
Moving this to the top, I would like to 7-zip SFX support.
-
seems so that 7zip SFX is a killer feature of future PA versions ;)
-
yeah, finally. brilliant, how long have i been waiting for this. LOL :) :) :) 12/24/2004
-
Support to add this feature.
-
Another request as you asked to request. ;)
-
I totally support this.
-
-
PA Quick Question! Its fantastic now that we have 7zip support within SFX. But why don’t we have the option to compress using “Ultra(Memory Req.)” and just “Maximum (Slowest?)”
Would be nice if all compression methods were able within SFX if possible.
-

of course you can… just create 7zip as you want it and then create SFX…

I’ll give it ago when im working on a Doc off Spreadsheet
