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.

Could Patchbeam be tweaked to give an error when there is no connectivity (internet or network) rather than just reporting that there are no updates available (giving the impression that there IS a working connection?
Thanks

you can notice it if you check last version column, if it is empty, then it means it didnt get info from the internet
-
The column was not empty, it reported ‘no update’. It looked as if you had pulled the mini .01 > .02 update and I was about to post here asking about it.
I have just (re)-checked this on my netbook after disconnecting it from my Wi-Fi and I am confirm that the ‘Release date’ column is not empty.
DrT
-
Under “Available”, it should be empty (it will otherwise show latest version thats on the server).
I am not saying this is proper error message, but it will give you heads up in the future :-)
-
A ‘proper’ error message would be handy, especially as I have to have quite complicated wi-fi schedules here to keep my children off the 'net at bed times - sometimes I forget the wi-fi is off :confused:.
Any idea on when the long-standing mini-bug shown in the attached will be fixed? The MRU dropdown box only gets filled in when the cursor goes over it.

Nice reminder!
gonna make sure to put this on the list for the next update! -

its complicated :-), as it is problem in the folder component and to change that we have to change many other things which work fine right now. We were discussing what we can do for PA 2012.
-
Okay, thanks guys. As long as it on somebody’s list LOL.

i discussed it with Ivan maybe 3-4 days ago when planning 2012 roadmap :-). It is annoying, but requires us to change half of PowerArchiver to fix it.So lets see.
-
It would be nice to have a fix, but not if it is too much trouble. I’ll stay schtum on the subject now. Thanks for the reconsideration. Just out of pure interest, and only if somebody has the time, could somebody explain to a non programmer (me) why a seemingly simple issue has its roots so deeply buried in the program? Just asking out of pure fascination of the magic that is programming.
TIA

it requires us to update delphi to latest release… and that requires major change in every part of PA code, including compression engine.
So it is little thing that triggers big change, like domino effect.

Thanks.
