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. -
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.
New format support

what formats does everyone want supported by pa what is the best.
In my tests uha is the best format but ot widely used yet. cab is good but old and not updated anymore 7zip is good but slow at improving. rar is good but limited. zip is good. jar from arjsoft is really good. Czip from zipgenius is great. sfx support needs to be updated.
list of extra formats i think needs to be support by powerarchiver:
Uha
czip
jar (from arjsoft)
more sfx formats e.g 7zip sfx
to be able to open more instalation setups.
SQZ
Web Application Archive [Sun Microsystems Inc.]
RPM a widespread Linux package format
DEB the Debian Linux package format
sea, an Apple Macintosh self-extracting shell archive format
cpio
MAF stands for Mozilla Archive Format
ZIP2
IMP archivesis there any others you would like to see supported by pa?

Uha
czip
jar (from arjsoft)

I thought .jar extension was already supported :confused:

No. Currently, PA supports archives with the file extension jar.
These are JAVA “archives”.The request is support for “jar (from arjsoft)” {http://www.arjsoftware.com/jar.htm}
JAR (or JAR32) is a the name of the compression utility. -

OK thanks, hehe … one is an archive, the other a utility … I get it . ;)

jar from arjsoft is really good.Uha and jar from arjsoft would be really nice.
I’ve used jar in the past and it was really good on the compression of data files, even better than rar (rar had a small advantage on executable files). Perhaps arjsoft should have open-sourced it to make it more popular. -
I agree that the following additions would be nice…
(the following are in order of priority)UHA
JAR (from ARJSoftware.com)
CZIP (from ZipGenius)Yes, sfx support needs to be updated… more options and one should NOT have to create a self-extracting executable as a separate task after creating an archive. I really like WinRAR’s “archiving options”, which allow one to create a self-extracting executable at the same time as creating the archive in the first place.
Ability to open more installation setups.
RPM (Linux package format)
DEB (Debian Linux package format)
SEA (Macintosh self-extracting shell archive format)
ZIP2 -

You don’t - in PowerArchiver 2007 :D

TBGBe,
thanks for the heads-up. Yes, it turns out you can create an archive and make it a self-extracting executable (SFX file), all at the same time, IF you use “SFX Wizard” button.
You cannot do so by using the “Add Archive” button, nor can you do it from any of the Shell Extension options.
I am glad that the SFX Wizard doesn’t only apply to existing archives, but can also be used to create an archive and make it a SFX file at the same time.
However, I would still like to see this ability from the “Add Archive” process or as a Shell Extensions option.
The benefit from being able to right/alternate-click on a file, group of files, or folder and create a new archive and make it a SFX file at the same time is obvious.
However, why would one want to be able to create a SFX file from within the “Add Archive” process?
One simple example is…
You started to create a new archive and have named the archive as well and added all of the files/folders you want packaged in the archive. Now, you decide you want to create an SFX file. You don’t want to cancel the process you have already started, start the SFX Wizard and have to redo everything. You would like to be able to “turn on” or “toggle on” the SFX option and PA would automatically change the new archive name from NAME.ARE (where ARE is the archive extension… ZIP, 7Z, CAB, etc) to NAME.EXE. Of course, you could alter the path/name of the new file still and there would now be some SFX applicable options that would appear. If you change your mind again, you could “turn off” or “toggle off” the SFX option and PA would remember the archive type you had selected before (ZIP, 7Z, etc) and change the name of the new archive back to NAME.ARE accordingly.
I hope that makes sense to everyone.
