[davidsplash]

Your new name for a new archive format is allready in use .paf extension

A Packed Animation File made my microsoft

[spwolf]

it is hard to find 3 letter extension that has not been used already, most important thing is that it has not been used by something very popular

[spwolf]

if you guys have any other suggestions? Maybe .pa?

[spwolf]

everything is still in the air

[Wandus]

Maybe, .pax? like most new format file (eg. .docx, xlsx, zipx, etc.)

What about PCZ (PowerArchiver/Conexware/Zipper)?

[spwolf]

i kind of like .pa… it is easy to say too and obviously thats what we call PowerArchiver too

[drteeth]

Why limit one’s self to 3 letters for an extension? How anout .papa or .para?

How about zsc (zipped super compressed)?

[Mameluke]

Is there a reason why we are limited to three letters?

I mean .powerarchiver is a bit long, but how about 4 letters?

The idea in selecting this is to make the extension pronounceable and viable as a verb in a sentence.

You can .zip a file. You can .rar a a file. See what I mean?

How about:

.PARC (Powerarchiver ARChive)

If the compression is going to be better, then why not a “size” indication - something like .nano or .pico …
Or would that be exaggeration?

How about pafx instead of paf like zipx, docx and so one. Even if paf is not used by something very popular i understand that it could be annoying with the same extention for those that actually use an application that use the “Packed Animation File” format.

Got it!
.pazip, .parar etc
Job done!

[spwolf]

i like .pa or .powerarchiver.

Problem with .powerarchiver (which is the coolest) is that it might take too much space in file lists…

or?

I really like it

[gan]

.pa is used as well by Print Artist by Nova Development, but i don’t know if anyone actually use that program so might not be a problem.

I think .powerarchiver is too long. I always choose to show the extension in Windows. For those that use the default setting and hide extensions for known file formats they won’t see it anyway.

If the options are .pa or .powerarchiver i would prefer .pa even if already used.
