    • 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.

    • Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images

      F

      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?

    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      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.

    • Include Virtual Drive as standalone in the installer

      2

      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!

    • Suggestion to improve .pa format

      Brian Gregory

      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.)

    • Quake 1/2 .PAK file support

      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

    • Find file in archive.

      Luxor

      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.

    • Encrypt files inside archive that has already been created [.zipx]

      2

      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!

    • Fast Extract large files directly to target directory

      2

      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!

    • Serpent-256 Encryption for PAE/PAE2

      2

      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!

    • Make portable version compatible with PortableApps

      A

      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.

    • I think SVG files should be treated as text files.

      SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.

    • Command Line Switch for View Mode

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.

      At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
      I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
      Basically, the aim is:

      Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode

      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

            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
