    • Support for Zstandard .zst/.zstd archives

      Z

      It would be nice to be able to at least extract Zstandard archives.

    • Highlighting files and folders in Add modes

      PA_Fan

      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.

    • .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu

      C

      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!

    • Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)

      TheAndyMac

      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.

    • Windows 11 Context menu support

      BigMike

      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.

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      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.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      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!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      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.

    • Elevation of UAC in Mounting Images

      F

      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?

    • Bulkzip Nanozip (.nz) file format

      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 Guys,

      A pritty simple request.

      Can you add “W” as Week Number based on the number per calendar Year ie 1 - 52.

      That way for my scripts it would say Backup_WK06_2011.

      I like many do reports daily, weekly and periodly but my backups are weekly it would make life allot easier is all.

      Thanks Again.

            what would be better is if you could have the date as the name of the file instead

              That too is a good idea as an additional tick box option. Thus if a user has a folder named " Database backup" they can use date reference instead of putting in a description 1st!

              Good one David!

                You can add a time stamp of your own devising to the file name. You could set the month (or year) as the first item of the stamp, and then make the time stamp a prefix to the filename rather than a suffix. If so, you can short the resulting backup files chronologically (within a year if you put the month first).

                I suppose it might be slightly easier for SR’s purposes to have a week # . . . . but wouldn’t the current options come close to meeting your purposes? I have certainly found this option very helpful.

                  I understand the date config option yes it is possible to manually write out a date name. But if a tick box was available to override the Name with Date Format it would reduce time.

                  As for the week thing, the options for Day, Month, Year, even “Day Of the week” but not week number.

                    Sir Richard,

                    You obviously are very knowledgeable, so I think I must be missing something . . . but on the slight chance I am not . . .

                    if I have a backup job, and run it, I don’t have to manually enter the file name.

                    I realize it does have an option for the week number, but, if I understood your task it look as if this would work just fine.

                    If I choose this (“Y-M-D-H-m-S –” as my prefix and “DailyBk.zipx” as the filename, then the PBS automatically creates a file with the following name: “2011-6-21-15-20-18 – DailyBk.zipx.”

                    And, I can FTP them automatically to an off-site backup location.

                    Then you can sort them in your file list chronologically.

                      it would be nice to have version numbers automatically assied by date to the backup.

                      Heres the clever part

                      An option to keep a certain number of backups nd then otherwrite back ups after a specified date. Thats why the automatic dates would help in this situation
