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 :(
Windows 7 - PA Desktop Gadget
-
Hi,
I think it would be a neat idea to create a Windows 7 Desktop Side Gadget.
Within this gadget could incorporate quick info and links to thing’s like;
1. Burner
2. Backup
3. FTP
4. Configuration
5. Recent
6. Clear History
7. Web Account
8. Forum
9. PA Top Feeds
10. Activity Display - ie When Compressing or UnConpressing would display the percentage doneThis in essance would overwrite the typical GUI that is displayed thus tidying up the screen.
-
Does anyone actually use Desktop Side Gadgets? Or should I say, do enough people use them to make it worthwhile to develop one?
I don’t know about Windows 7 but when I got my Vista machine they were the first things I turned off when it first booted up. Within 10 seconds of that first boot they were annoying me. :D -
Likewise ‘Lux’…they are the first thing I get rid of also…:)
but I can see the attraction for many users out there…Richard being one of them…:) -
I can 100% Concur that one of the 1st thing I do when I have formated and installed Windows 7 is remove the Sidebar gadgets on standard systems.
However, Workstation based systems with a good CPU, RAM and a decent sized monitor with High Rez i would normally install something like “Computer Status” which is a good little gadget that gives me live info on my CPU, RAM useage, battery Life, wifi Connection etc…
And because it is on a decent system with a good resolution it doesnt anoy me or the user as it only takes up a small space and can be made transparent per user’s requirement.
I personaly wouldnt use Vista, to me it never existed… :-D I think Microsoft would want to forget about it as well…
Anyway, Just a thought :o)
-
@Sir:
And because it is on a decent system with a good resolution it doesnt anoy me or the user as it only takes up a small space and can be made transparent per user’s requirement.
I would still have to turn them off as they annoy the bejeezus out of me. But that’s just me as I like a clean desktop with no distractions.
@Sir:I personaly wouldnt use Vista, to me it never existed… :-D I think Microsoft would want to forget about it as well…
LOL. Never had an issue with it myself but I have seen problems with people who had upgraded their XP systems.
@Sir:Anyway, Just a thought :o)
Keep 'em coming. :)
-
:o) I Can’t argue with you in regards to the 1st point as I can fully understand where you are coming form…
With Vista, if you have a medium to powerfull system you shouldnt have a problem. The main thing that anoys me is the UAC system. I know you can disable it but that isnt the point.
Windows 7 is a must for anyone who needs to upgrade from XP. As it works well even with 4 year old system specs.
Point 3, well i got loads of idea’s its just getting them out of my head :D
-
@Sir:
well i got loads of idea’s its just getting them out of my head :D
I have a trusty crowbar that I keep handy for just such an occasion Richard…:D
-
A lot of that functionality is mirrored in WIn7 jump lists already, thats what i use personally and it is quite useful…
-
The abuse I get from some of you guy’s is un beleaveable! :-D
Talking of abuse I got broken into over the weekend! Thank goodness for my trusty Dog who chased them away!
In regards to window’s 7 Jump lists! yes they are a very handy feature! But on a nice sized resolution its nice to have a neet gadget on the screen giving you instand info and access to personailsed options.
Wink :D

Scum bags. :mad:
Hope they didn’t get away with anything Richard and that your dog did some damage to them.Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Hope they didn’t get away with anything Richard and that your dog did some damage to them.The Door was taken out with some force but my dog has full access to the house and heard the noise then went for whoever it was not sure if she bit him but he must of did a runner as I didnt have anything else stolen or damaged.
am having a new door put it next week, and have had the police round nearly every night this week just showing their presence I suppose.
Cheers though! Its a tuff time for many people I think when you havent got a job and maybe depend on things you shouldnt you get desperate etc.
No excuse but thats the way it goes… The area I Live in only had 3 recorded break in’s last year. So it’s a fairly safe area. Allot of community police walking the streets which is nice. Just didnt walk the ally way that backs to my rear garden on that particular day! lol

Hi Guys,
Winzip 15 Standard and Pro now have a Destop Gadget with simple options, so maybe PA can up the game as per my original above request.
NEW!Drag files onto the new WinZip Desktop Gadget to instantly zip/unzip them
