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.
A wish for the extract dialog
-
I’d like for a button or some widget that will set the “Extract to:” field to be the location of the archive. It seems that quite often I want the archive to be extracted somewhere close to where it is, so it would be nice to have an easy way to start there.
Thanks
-
You can add “Extract here” (current location of the archive).
Is that what you want, or something else?
-

this is in main PA window or where exactly?
-
Here’s a screenshot showing the 2 options in Config which you can use to have the Extract button point directly to the folder of the archive or automatically create a subfolder in the same folder as the archive.
Does that help?
-
having a button that does this would be fine too… just to see where exactly.

Sorry for the late reply - I had my forum email set incorrectly, so I was unaware of any posts to this thread.
I think that Mili’s suggestion will suit me fine for the most part (my config was set to “Extract to last folder”).
But to clarify what I was asking for is that when I’m already in PA dealing with an open archive and I decide I want to extract some or all files, I get a dialog that looks like:
In this case (with my previous setting of “Extract to last folder”) the path in the Extract to dialog has nothing to do with the currently open archive, and there is no easy way to get to where the current archive happens to be - I’d have to navigate the Folders/drives tree or copy/paste the path into the “Extract to:” field. It would be nice to press a button to have the"Extract to:" field set to the archive’s path (and sync the Folder/drives: widget).
However, with Mili’s suggestion, I’m not sure this is really needed.
-
how about offering it as option on location dropdown? That seems pretty reasonable I think….

this will work well :-)

I agree.
