    • 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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      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.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

      Would it be difficult to add the Feature to virtual drive to insert ISO image into Physical CD/DVD ROM

      instead of having it mount a virtual drive it could just insert into a drive that’s already present

      I’ve seen this done with other apps and I just thought it woulds be nice for that option to be added to PA context menu

      It could be a feature only available to the paying customers

        I’m not sure what you mean - do you mean to “burn” the iso onto a disc?

          No PA already can do burning

          Ok lets say you have 2 optical drives Drive Drive D and Drive E for example

          and you click on an iso image sitting on your desktop and along with PA’s option to mount as virtual drive which it already has

          How about an option to insert/mount that image into a drive that’s Already there Drive D or Drive E for instance

            @PowerAngel:

            If I understand you correct, you have 2 optical physical drives (CD/DVD units) as drive D and E and you would like to mount an ISO-image to one of these drives?

            Well ISO-files can be used two ways. Eiher you burn the ISO file to a Disc (CD or DVD) and then use the disc in the physical drive, or you mount the ISO file into a virtual drive instead and it will act as if it is a physical drive with a disc inserted.

            I don’t know if its even possible to mount a ISO-file to a physical drive since a physical drive looks for a disc insered into it.

            Besides all that, what’s the point of getting this feature if it’s possible?

            Kind Regards

                Yes it is possible I currently do it with http://www.virtualcd-online.com/

                cause some pieces of software only recognize things in Physical drives

                So I keep that piece of software around when necessary & I don’t feel like burning the iso

                And If PA were to implement this addition I wouldn’t need that other piece of software

                No Big deal either either way just a suggestion

                  Thanks for the information, I didn’t know it was possible. The program looks very interesting if you need more than 4 virtual drives. Maybe I take a closer look at it some day in the future.

                    Your welcome and I didn’t know it was possible either till I found the program Personally I don’t really care much about it displaying Virtual drives I would have it not display a if possible but display of one is required

                    I mainly just use it to insert images into physical drives and it would be awesome if PA offered similar
