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.
Better password security for files you use

i would like pa using password protected archives to extract the file to a secure folder when opening them as at present once they are extracted anyone can intercept them and copy them.
basically what i want to do is double click on a passworded file inside powerarchiver open it up useit save it, and update archiver without anyone being about to intercept the file before its updated the archive and secure again
-
What do you mean under “extract the file to a secure folder”. What is “secure folder”?
To be able to open/modify any compressed file, it must be extracted first. It is extracted to temp folder.
And what do you mean under “intercept the file”? Do not allow anyone to access your PC. Remove malware from your system. If there is something that can “intercept you files” it can also intercept your typed password and use it to extract your archive.Anyway, there is great feature in … one of PA’s competitors that automatically wipes temporary files. I like this one.
-
temp file is created only when the correct password is input, once the temp file is used it is deleted
unless you extract the file
-

Sure, but it would be good to not just “delete” the temp file, but WIPE it so it cannot be recovered…

probably open new thread for wiping so it can be easily seen :-)

what i was trying to get across was that when u open a passworded file it create a non passworded temp file this file can be copied by people. Is there a way to make it more secure while you are using a passworded file.

NTFS explained it well, there is no security issue there… if your system’s security has been compromised then you better not open archive on that computer at all, because someone will be able to get your password and your file.

just thought there could of been a way to protect the file more from a powerarchiver point of view

12.5 Beta has wiping implemented… closing this thread.
