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

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.

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…

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.
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:

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

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
