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. -
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.

** Cancel Button functionality update?
Based on the thread I had over in support, I would like to suggest that when a user hits the cancel button that the archive/FTP/etc be cancelled immediately. Currently if I understand right it just cancels the current file and not the entire process.
Possibly add another button for cancelling the entire process or swap the current one. I would figure hitting cancel would stop the whole thing. Would love to see this!
-
My understanding (for archives) was that it does cancel the entire process, but only when the current file operation is completed.
Reacting sooner would require interrupting the compress/uncompress operation when “Cancel” is pressed - which would be nice if it can be done (especially when working with GB files).
-
Yeah thats what I was getting at…hitting cancel would stop the process immediately.
-
I’d still like to see this in the software, was curious if anyone else would like to see it too!
-
can you clarify better? what exactly does not cancel right away and cancels only current file?
-
Yeah no problem. Lets say I am archiving a big folder with a bunch of files and I realize I need to redo it or for some reason cancel it. Right now if I hit cancel it seems to skip the current file and keep archiving the rest. I was suggesting if you hit cancel during a archive it would stop the entire process and close the window.
-
what format is this with? It shouldnt happen that way… thanks!
-
spwolf you want to know something, I was being stupid. when you cancel a archive in progress, and it asks if you want to continue, I hit Yes thinking it meant it was cancelling the process, not continuing. I guess I was confused…maybe a reword might be good? Anyhow, its my mistake and you can delete this thread sorry for the waste of time lol…
-
this is done on purpose, since we deemed it was better if you confuse continue than confusing cancel :-)
-
np :-)
