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.

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.
Better support for ISO files (add/edit)
-
In need to edit 1 file and add another file to an existing ISO (a bootable ISO).
Is there any way to do this?
It would seem that I could extract the ISO to a folder, then edit and add the file, but I don’t think I can reassemble everything back into the ISO and retain its bootability.
Possible?
How, if so. -
Its more likely that you will have to Extract that particular ISO, adjust that file then create new bootable copy.
You can do this using Burn Tool within Powerarchiver Toolbox as it contains data burner and virtual driver.
Using this you can select “create boot disk”.
-
The extract and reconstruct method is a workaround at best, and it requires knowledge of how to properly reconstruct the ISO from exactly the same properties (and there are a bunch of them) as the original.
The desired behavior is to edit the ISO “in place” as you can other archive types, thus preserving (and not caring about) whatever properties are asisgned to the ISO. Why should I have to extract and rebuild an ISO to simply add a file to it? It’s unnecessary and very error prone because–as I mentioned–the reconstruction of the ISO requires making many decisions about the ISO properties that a normal user would find very difficult to get correct.
Additionally, I would have to buy the PowerArchiver ToolBox, for which I do not have a license. I only own PowerArchiver Standard.
Is there some sort of patent on this process? It seems PowerISO and its clones (MagicISO, WinISO, UltraISO) are the only tools that can do this and have some sort of monopoly hold over it.
But thank you for the reply. I was wondering when someone was going to make any comment at all.

it is all about someone requesting the feature and then us implementing it :-)

ok, so edited title and moved to wishlist… what exactly do you guys want to see here?

That’s easy. Go download PowerISO. Use it to open an ISO; then add a new file to the ISO by dragging a file into the opened ISO file tree. Delete a file. Change a file. Save the altered ISO. There you go.
Other functions such as mounting an ISO, or burning an ISO are gravy, are less within the scope of what an archiver app should do, and are already well done by other apps, but an archiver app (especially a “Power” archiver app) should very much be expected to edit an ISO in the manner I outlined.

so add and update files inside an ISO file.
as to the burning and mouting, thats already in PA TBX

And delete, don’t forget delete.
