Hi.
I noticed that when I want to run the Virtual Drive for the first time inside the PowerArchiver Burner it prompts to download it form the internet.
I was wondering, would it be OK to include this utility straight into the offline installer to be able to set it up locally?
Thank you!

How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files.
For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files.
Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.) -

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. -
Would it be possible at all in some future version perhaps, to have a “find file” function?
Reason I ask is that I was looking for a certain file I knew existed in an archive, but I had to unzip it then use another tool to find the file. It would have saved that extra step if that function existed in PA itself. -
Hi.
Is there a way to enable the user to encrypt the files inside a ZIPX archive that has already been created?
This could save time for large archives that the user may need to encrypt at a later stage or that he/she has forgotten to enable encryption before creating the archive,
Thank you!

Hi.
I would like to see a new feature implemented: a ‘Fast Extract’ Mode.
Currently PowerArchiver extracts files to a temporary directory and then moves them to the target directory chosen by the user. At least via drag and drop.
This can be both time consuming and needs free space on the system drive for large files.
Is there a way to directly extract files to the target directory with PowerArchiver?
And if not, can a feature like this be considered for future updates?Thanks very much!

Hello.
I believe it would be useful to implement Serpent-256 encryption for PAE/PAE2 formats, even though PowerArchiver offers strong encryption ciphers already.

Do you think this will be a useful addition?
Thank you for the consideration!

Hello!
I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure).
I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos.
Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this.

Presently, PowerArchiver 2019 (any build) cannot rename PBS filenames by single clicking on such entry or right-click menu has no “Rename” feature!
Hmm, even pressing F2 on selected entry does nothing :(

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

Hi,
I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.
At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode
I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
Basically, the aim is: -
OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

I know CRC32 was the standard for checking the integrity of compressed files but it is not really used anymore. Can you add ones that are used now MD5 or SHA?
-
Opening the ‘Backup’ I still wonder how PA is ordering the files.
It’s not by name, not by last run…
Is it not possible to have them ordered by NAME (default).
Now you have to click on Name to have a meaning overview. If you jump to ‘archive’ and back to ‘backup’, they are again disordered0_1523006481222_7f290e95-2f9a-4c85-bdc1-d8ba0831b91f-image.png
Thx.
Suggestion for PAOP
-
I may be able to do what I want done. I just haven’t figured out how. Either I want to know how to do it, OR, I want to add a feature to PAOP. Here’s the problem. I never use plain ZIP with legacy compression for storing a file on my computer. The only time I ever use plain ZIP is to email a zip file to someone else. That is the only format I can count on other users being able to open. Why is that a problem? When I define my compression profile for ZIP, I choose zipx, ultra and optimized compression . . . 'cause that is what I want to use for any file strored on my computer. If I want to use PAOP I must choose a profile. If I choose ZIP . . . it uses those settings. But then a number of users cannot open the compressed file. To make PAOP more useful I have to change my ZIP compression profile . . . but that clashes with the ZIPX settings I want for files I store on my computer. Is there a way to work around this problem? If not, could you add a way to do this within PAOP? I mention this now since you indicated, in any earlier note, that you all were currently updating that plugin. Best

Thanks Socrates,
Reference PAOP, I created a thread that indicated key area’s that i felt would benefit PA Users when using Outlook.
Have a Look at PAOP V3 Wish List
Within this was settings to be importable & exportable via the main applications configuration settings and adaptive compression methods based on standard defaults and a users personal preferences.

I can’t remember exactly how the profile choice in PAOP works (no longer use Outlook) but in PowerArchiver why not create a new profile (ZipEmail) with the settings you need for email? Or (ZipForMe) with the settings you use for yourself?

did you try configuring it out in PAOP?
Basically you need to skip using PA, but rather attach the file to Outlook as usual (not zip file, but original extension), then set your default settings in PAOP and let PAOP compress it based on PAOP settings.
For PAOP settings go to: Outlook> File> Options> Add-ins> Add-in Options button on the top.
That setting is separate from PA’s own shell extensions but again you need to use Send> to email rather than PA shell, so actual PAOP will do the work.
Makes sense?

Hmm. That’s what I thought I had tried. apparently not. Sorry.

were you sending via PA shell?

any suggestions are welcome… we are working on standalone email attachment program right now.
