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 :(
Feature Wishlist for the next PA Version

Hello,
i’d like to see some Feature the other Archivers have in PA because i need them and use them always. If PA had them i could deinstall WinRAR and the Others.
- digitally signed archives (Like WinRAR or Squeez)
- true multi-volume archives (Don’t know if PA already has them - 7-Zip does not)
- Internal and external data recovery records (like SQX)
- true UAC awareness - Squeez and SpeedCommander (and the SFXes) is the only Archiver Application i know witch can Extract into UAC Protected DIRs (well PA on my Systems does not)
Perhaps you could contact Speedproject - for developing SQX further. Because it already has those features and more (just no multicore-Support) because R. Nausedat the main developer of SQX died in 2004 and S. Ritter is more capable of developing the File-Manager of Speedproject “SpeedCommander”

Can you give more details about “true multi-volume” please?
How is this different from “split archives”?

True Multi Volume Archives are truly Split while Compression. And each Part gets it’s own Archiver Header + Recovery Records or the Digital Siganture Data.
(Like WinRAR does the Multivolume - Splitting Or Squeez Spilts its Archives). Wenn WinRAR starts archiving it will Compress the Files until the Archiv is just a few KB Smaller than the Split Archive Size. - Then WinRAR adds the Header and the other File-Info - Closes the File and Starts the next File.7-Zip Compresses the Complete Files into One Big Archive and then Splits it into the Required Size. (Simply a Split + Join) - to decompress the Archive 7-Zip must first Join them to the one Big Archive (even if just Temp.) WinRAR Starts Without joining the Files So if you Activate the “Keep Broken Files” Option you could decompress an Incomplete WinRAR Multivolume Archive. so not all files would be lost. With 7-Zip the Archive would become unusable - Just a waste of Space.

7zip does indeed have muti support.
what i would like is to have 7zip as a separate plugin so i would update to the latest beta build of 7zip instaed of having to wait till powerarchiver approves it.
-
7zip does indeed have muti support.
Yes i know. But from what i know it’s not True Multivolume Support. 7-Zip Creates the Archive and then Splits it into the Reqired Parts. - As far as i know from my Last Tests with 7-Zip. The Archive becomes Unusable if one of the Parts is Corrupted.
Tested it again with 7-Zip 9.20:
Created an Archiv Split into 1MB Parts. Then Corrupted 1 Part (made a Backup before) and Tried to extract the Archive - didn’t work. – Restored the Part and Joined them Manualy an tested the Archive all OK. (Manually Join 7z Parts: "cmd: copy /B “Part1” + “Part2” + … + “Part N” "Archive.7z)Tested it with WinRAR: Corrupted one Part (made a Backup before) - Extracted it with “Keep Broken File” and it extracts allright - with some of the Files Missing. - But not everything is LOST. - Or if you have Recovery Info in the Archive you could try to Repair the Corrupted Bits (or Part)

That would be a nice feature to have too.

so what other features would you find cool in imaginary new format? Not excessive, just things you actually need.

what i think this guy wants is a way that if part of any multi archive is corupt you can still recover the files. what he wants is a winrar recovery feature.
which can be implemented into pa
