    Optimize archive on Context Menu
    W

    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.

    Highlighting files and folders in Add modes
    PA_FanP

    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.

    .BH in Windows 11 Context Menu
    C

    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!

    Windows Store Delivery (and ideally updates)
    TheAndyMacT

    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.

          @mili Probably easier to just see the code?

          https://github.com/facebook/zstd

          https://facebook.github.io/zstd/

          PeaZip has it implemented: https://peazip.github.io/zstandard-compression-utility.html (also FOSS software) that may be of help.

            Both github pages appear to be about a compression method rather than an archive file format.

                I should be more clear. I received a tar.zst archive and PA won’t open it. I’ll install peazip, solely to make an archive, and send it in like asked.

                  Easier for me to share this as an example actually:

                  https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/download/v1.5.2/zstd-1.5.2.tar.zst

                  I can’t open this file in PA, but WinRAR/PeaZip work.

                    I see that in PA 2023 tar.zst archives are supported. Thank you.
