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.
Which format, when, and why

I know you are trying to finish 2011. So put this on the back burner.
However, when you have time, there’s something I would find very helpful, either in the help file or on the site. Occasionally you address these issues in a forum, or even in the help file. But I would love to see something systematic.
Provide a list or a table discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each (major) format, and each type of encryption.
Which formats have the best compression? Which have the best compression speed? Which have the best extraction speed? Are some better for image files? For pdfs? What about encryption formats? Is PAE better, or now somewhat outdated? And by better I don’t just mean more secure, but easier to add, change, and delete files
I have come to some tentative conclusions on my own, based on narrow testing. I would love to see something more systematic.
Let me give some examples to illustrate my limited findings:
- If I am going to ftp, then the compression ratio is very important (since a smaller file ftps quicker than a large one).
- If it is an archive I change often (particularly wanting to delete individual files), then I use zipx rather than 7zip (can’t delete individual files from a solid archive).
- If I am not worried about the size of the file, then I want fast compression and fast extraction.
- If it is archive I will rarely change, I am more likely to use 7 zip.
- If it is a file I will widely distribute, I use plain zip with legacy compression.

This post is deleted! -
your findings are 100% correct.
i plan to create an wiki for PowerArchiver where we explain things like this - of course, on our own site, as we cant write anything on official wikipedia.
-
i plan also to build wiki but im locking some information here, anyone can help?
