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.
Improved Windows Installer
-
Hi Guys,
I know you have been working very hard on the Installer but since Patchbeam I think its been left aside and seeing that Patchbeam doesnt work behind many proxies that are restricted via business firewalls this still means for many of users having a reliable Windows Installer is important.
Below are features I would really like to see introduced both as a normal user and business user!
1. Installer to offer the option to enter or import Registration Details via Manual or PA Backup before install or select Evaluation Version. By installing Backup it would also offer Configuration options before install ie include backup shell layouts etc etc
2.Check for latest Installer before install.
3. Online & Offline Installer allowing users who have good internet connection to download a small installer and those who wish to save to server behind a proxy an offline version.
4. The ability to Deslect PatchBeam as an administrator thus to control who can update.
5. All software installed under ConeXware Programfiles
6. The ability to view like in Patchbeam Plugin’s, patches & skins for PA.
-
there are reasons for some of these… we have a lot of admin functions and features in PA, but these are currently avail. only to business users purchasing more licenses.
i am toying with doing wiki about pa (wiki.pa.com) with info like that.
-
as to the online/offline installer, it really just complicates things, we have extremely tiny code for it already done, but it is always a pain to do 10 different version of installer…
better add proxy support to patchbeam which is what you need anyway :-)q
-
I wish I could change the proxy and I have requested it be looked into. But it isnt me that pushes the button this time my friend :)
In regards to the admin section of wiki! i think that is a good idea, if you dont want to provide more admin options via installer then its a cheaper way to go.
But I would like to see options 1, 4 and 5… Admins dont ofton want Patchbeam… esspecially when dealing with hugh numbers not unless you can write patchbeam to be customisable like antivirus programs?
-
1 and 4 can already be done simply via registry keys which are currently known only to business users as per explained above.
we specifically dont use conexware folder to make it simpler for users that browse to program files to open it up…
-
why not just have one installer for everyone but your reg code sorts out the extra features
