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.

Hi.
I noticed that when I want to run the Virtual Drive for the first time inside the PowerArchiver Burner it prompts to download it form the internet.
I was wondering, would it be OK to include this utility straight into the offline installer to be able to set it up locally?
Thank you!

How about recognising a few more (or all) of the file formats that are basically renamed zip files and treating them is if they are zip files.
For instance Android .apk files are just renamed .zip files.
Libreoffice/Openoffice ODF documents are all, as far as I am aware, just renamed .zip files. (.odt, .ott, .ods, .ots, .odp, .otp, .odb, .odf etc.) -
I would like to make a further plea for my mouse’s backwards and forwards keys to work when navigating to and from files, just like they do in explorer. IIRC, I was told that this functionality would be added to v2019.
Mni tnx.

I use PA for everything, if I can.
Would be really nice to maybe get built in support for Quake 1/2 .pak files.
More info on the format, seems simpler than I thought: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/.pak -
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. -
Would it be possible at all in some future version perhaps, to have a “find file” function?
Reason I ask is that I was looking for a certain file I knew existed in an archive, but I had to unzip it then use another tool to find the file. It would have saved that extra step if that function existed in PA itself. -
Hi.
Is there a way to enable the user to encrypt the files inside a ZIPX archive that has already been created?
This could save time for large archives that the user may need to encrypt at a later stage or that he/she has forgotten to enable encryption before creating the archive,
Thank you!

Hi.
I would like to see a new feature implemented: a ‘Fast Extract’ Mode.
Currently PowerArchiver extracts files to a temporary directory and then moves them to the target directory chosen by the user. At least via drag and drop.
This can be both time consuming and needs free space on the system drive for large files.
Is there a way to directly extract files to the target directory with PowerArchiver?
And if not, can a feature like this be considered for future updates?Thanks very much!

Hello.
I believe it would be useful to implement Serpent-256 encryption for PAE/PAE2 formats, even though PowerArchiver offers strong encryption ciphers already.
(deleted part advertising other software - admin)
Do you think this will be a useful addition?
Thank you for the consideration!

Hello!
I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure).
I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos.
Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this.

Presently, PowerArchiver 2019 (any build) cannot rename PBS filenames by single clicking on such entry or right-click menu has no “Rename” feature!
Hmm, even pressing F2 on selected entry does nothing :(

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

There needs to be a setting for the backup feature to set how many backup files to keep.
-
SVG files (scalable vector graphics) seem to be special XML files and therefore when added to .pa archives I think they should be compressed as if they were text files.

Hi,
I had a look at the command line switches, but there are no switches to change the startup mode.
At the moment, PowerArchiver opens in the last used mode.
Opening PowerArchiver from Start Menu or Desktop: Start in Explorer Mode Opening PowerArchiver by double clicking an archive: Start PowerArchiver in Archive Mode
I’d like to have command line switches to influence the startup mode.
Basically, the aim is: -
OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

Having just ONE voice shown for "compress to ??? + options"
-
now we can only choose, by checking the little box, whether we want the “compress to ??? + options” option in the context menu…but selecting it will add as many voices as the number of compressing types we chose to have…
while I’d just like to be able to have just ONE more voice, not many!
what do you think?
thank you!
-
You click onto Options and Configuration… and then to the Section “Shell Extension”! “Use Extensions” must be marked–and here you can change the settings for explorer Shell Extensions…
i hope a helped… -
I think you mis-understood.
manuangi is asking for the Options to be a single choicei.e.
- Compress to fil.zip
- Compress to fil.cab
- Compress to fil.7z
- Compress with Options
Then (new) option 4 is used to access the format and the relevant options for that format.
Currently, Options adds a new menu choice for each format. -

don’t you think it would be a nice choice?
@developers: any chance to have such a feature in the future? pleeeeeeeeease! :)

Just goto to Configuration->Shell ext. and deselect the things you don’t want.

guido, you seem not to have understood what I mean…
if I check Display “Compress to ??? + Options” item then ONE voice for EVERY compression type I chose will be added.
So, as the picts in my 1st post show, if originally I had 3 voices in the menu, I’ll have 6.What I’d like is the possibility to just have 4: the 3 I originally chose plus JUST ONE MORE, something like “Compress with Options” suggested by TBGBe.
I can’t achieve that with actual PA’s option, can I…
-
You were right. I misunderstood your your question. But I think at the moment it’s not possible what you want. But I agree, I think it’s usefull…
Guido
-
@spwolf…any possibility to have this developed in the future? thanks!
-
many months have gone since I last posted here…but nothing has been done to solve this “sort of” bug (at least, it’s quite annoying to have a chilometric win context menu, because of all those “copmpress to XXX + options” voices)…
any possibility, for the coming versions?
-
it would be nice to have a winzip feature shell extension configure where it takes you to the option so you don’t have to load up pa all the time to get to the option when you don’t really want to.
-
up :)
-
bug eh? :-). Few more weeks….

bug eh? :-)
I know you like that word! :D ok, that’s a wish! :D
Few more weeks….
really? Thank you!!! :)
-
THANK YOUUUUUU! :) :)
this wish of mine has come true! :)
Now, I can see just a “Compress With Options…” voice, not those many!
Just a little thing…in PA options, one must check the “Compress to ??? + Options” to have the “Compress With Options” voice shown…I think that checkbox in “Options” should go away, and we should have one, maybe @1st place, in “Menu Items”. No?
Anyway, dev’s…thanks again! Now I like PA much more than before! :)

Try it with only one or two formats active. You’ll see why it is this way ;)
Sort of “half & half”.
