    • 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)

    • OneDrive for Business support

      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.

      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?
