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)
SOLVED Patches that don't reinstall Powerarchiver every time
-
Every time Patchbeam installs a newer version of Powerarchiver, its pretty much like a new install. it asks you to choose what icons you want where as well as other settings, which is annoying if you forget to uncheck the ones you don’t want on the install. Isn’t it possible for Patchbeam to just update Overtop of Powerarchiver silently and adopt the older Powerarchiver settings without going through a full install routine every time?
-
Good idea.
It always annoys me to have to say Yes I do want the Queue and no I don’t want the icon on my desktop.
Why can’t it default to the options I chose last time?
Also a little annoying is that even when a reboot is required after installation the installer defaults to running PA after installation “completes”. But it hasn’t completed properly because I haven’t restarted Windows yet!
By the way the reason I don’t want the icon on my desktop is that the icon the installer creates doesn’t seem to be reliable in that it often changes to the default image for a .exe after a few updates. So I create my own desktop icon pointing to POWERARC.EXE and displaying the icon from POWERARC.EXE rather than the icon from some obscure installer file that sometimes seems to cease to exist after further updates.

Complete agree with this suggestion.
-
like the idea but in practice things like this can cause major problems not least how long do you hold a patch on the download server etc. With not having patches you actually only have to do one version of powerarchiver instead of patches and a trial version.
Patches are only good if you have everything as modular and can update only that part of powerarchiver. In truth that may not actually work properly as you would have to have another component telling you what patches are installed in powerarchiver.
-
from PA 2017, we will have proper patches like before… so in practice, updates will be between 200kb and 2 MB in size and of course no new installation.
-
this has been added to PA 2017 few months ago. Thanks.
