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.
Encrypt folders as self-extracting file

The ability to encrypt a folder and all its contents as a self-extracting file.

did the SFX Wizard with 7zip AES encyption not work for you?
-
Thanks SPWOLF.
It worked, but then thought if I compress using SFX and using 7Zip option it was just compressing and not encrypting. Have I got the wrong end of the stick?
Please excuse my ignorance on this.
-
if you use password and select 7zip compression, then it is AES encryption.
-
Thanks SPWOLF.
In order to satisfy my assessor, is there a reference document I can print off to provide the evidence, ie that 7ZIp compression is AES256.
Many thanks for your help with this.
-
Hafren,
when you created the sfx with password, were you asked for that same password when testing/running the sfx? -
Yes, I was prompted for the same password when testing, but assumed it was password protected but not encrypted.
Thanks.

Does the PowerArchiver help file meet your needs?
Also mentioned in the PowerArchiver changelog (WHATSNEW.TXT)See Help

The ability to encrypt a folder and all its contents as a self-extracting file.
YES, this wud be great…!
and …
(what is on my wishlist for a lllong time)add ‘Encrypt to .exe’ file
to context menu.Just RMB-click a file (or folder), select Encrypt to .exe, enter password, that’s it!
I have another application running in the background now doing the above,
but feel that it shd be a part of PA.
( mean offering this as a context menu item)=

PowerArchiver 2010 offers the ability to Password & Encrypt Files and folders into secure Archives based on AES method’s.
However, in my Professional opinion based on working with Government Department’s and a high understanding of Data Protection techniques if you want to sure you’re Computer including Profile Entire Folder’s potentially server Directories and meet Government Requirements then you should use something on the lines of DesLock etc
PowerArchiver is a fantastic tool but it is not designed to be a Full Security alternative when protecting information.
-
Am not sure whether PA has been designed to replace specialized tools, like the one you mentioned.
Assume PA’s encryption will be sufficient in, by far, most cases. That aside, specialized tools, like Deslock have a different pricetag and may be less ‘userfriendly’.
It is a bit like with ‘wiping’ data: one can use a 1 pass wiping, or follow complex schemes like DoD 5220.22-M, that are taking a century to wipe a 1TB drive.
From what I have read, for the normal ‘day to day work’, a 1 pass wiping is sufficient, making it already extremely difficult (and expensive) to recover ‘wiped data’.
