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 :(

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

There needs to be a setting for the backup feature to set how many backup files to keep.
Rar plugin
-
it is possible to have rar support through a plugin so you can create rar files.
You simply have a word with the rar creator he creates a plugin that you have (the customer) to pay for with your help. Then you simply have to register like you do for buying power archiver. But the price is cheaper than buying winrar. The rar creator get more money as most people like using power archiver than winrar and his format gets even more recognition it desrves
-
I think this is a great idea, it would be nice to make RAR files. 7zip are more compressed, but not everyone uses that format.
-
Oh yes it would be great to create .rar with powerarc! (for me its even good without plugin and integrated)
-
that would lead to me using ONLY PowerArchiver as (de)compressing tool…and I must say I’d love it! :)
so, please…try to get us the RAR plugin!
btw…could the developers tell us if we have any chance to get it, or if there are/would be problems with WinRAR’s owners?
thanks!
-
Youre right!
The perfect archiver is that one, which includes ALL functions that people need!
powerarc is the nearest to a “perfect” one, but some functions are not available yet (other fuctions which you can find in WinRAR for example)!
That some functions like RAR-Maker must be maked in the next versions to create the multifunctional archiver! -
my idae would be a plugin we pay for a little of the value of winrar. basically you pay for the plugin so the winrar aruthor gets his money and we use a btter program. but we would still have to pay for powerarchiver unless we’ve payed for it already. Pliugin would be a standalone payment to the winrar author though powerarcher archiver

that could be an option and I would agree to pay a little more for PA having the RAR plugin! (btw… 19,95$ for a LIFETIME license’s very cheap a price, no one can tell the contrary! :) )
provided the problem with the RAR plugin has only to do with price, thing I don’t believe…
I’m quite enthusiastic because, with the 7z plugin, you guys developing PA succeeded in making its compression even stronger than the original! :eek:
that’s why I “have faith” you might do the same with WinRAR as well…
but anyway, I’d be so happy having only the plugin itself!
think about it!
PA would surely become the most complete tool everywhere!
-
Youre right!
When PA gets the .rar plugin too (after the now working plugins) the price must be boosted!
Then not so many people will buying winRAR but Powerarc and this will be a good deal!
Therefore it would be even a good deal when we become the .rar plugin integrated into PA for a little Price boosting…
