Option to omit empty folders in PBS scripts

I would very much like to see an option in the PBS wizard, probably on the Compression and Encryption tab, to omit empty folders during backup. This option is available via command line switch in, at least, RAR and PACL

@fullbugg: While I am not new to archiving I am new to PowerArchiver. So far I am enjoying the abilities and working with the software but there is one feature that I would truly like to see added. When creating an archive and adding the delete source folder option being able to perform a test of the archive before deleting the source would be helpful. If this feature is already present I am unable to locate it. with ZIP format, there is an option of Action: Move, which basically deletes original files once they have been compressed. Please check it out and let us know if it works as intended. Thank you!

When I click on the “Extract” button in PowerArchiver, there is an option for “Open folder after extracting”, which I always keep checked. It would be nice to have another one saying “Close PowerArchiver after extracting”. With both checked, the PowerArchiver window would be “replaced” with the Explorer window. I think it’d be great!

There is nothing stupid about asking! Thanks a lot. Your comments make us create better software by understanding how people use PowerArchiver. I am also glad you are not mad at us anymore

@manuangi: Just a little thing…in PA options, one must check the “Compress to ??? + Options” to have the “Compress With Options” voice shown…I think that checkbox in “Options” should go away, and we should have one, maybe @1st place, in “Menu Items”. No? Try it with only one or two formats active. You’ll see why it is this way Sort of “half & half”.

I often delete files from zip-archives. After the deletion some folders, that previous have files, are empty. When i now extract the archive PA creates empty folders. I think there should be an Global Option to turn this behavior off.

It would be great if you could batch extract with options? EX Options: Location of extraction, how often you want it extracted, e-mail of what wasn’t extracted. Other things like this.
