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.
"Run PA" instead of "Run Winzip"
-
if you open SFX archives created with Winzip, there is an topn “Run Winzip”. It would be great, if PA would be ran, if you press this button.
-
this is a winzip sfx file so it is written by winzip so there is no way powerarchiver can do this as they can not see winzip’s code

Actuly David, it is possible… it’s only a registry key to add. Problem is that modifing that key on systems with WinZip installed will cause trouble with WZ itself.

If that is true, presumably it would break the “Certified for Windows” if PA were to modify a non PA registry key (or create it on systems where WZ had not been installed).
-
its’ just as FineWolf said, just a regkey…sorry I can’t help you further, 'cause WinZip’s not installed on my system!
search in HKLM\Sofware\Classes !

Maybe its an old topic, but the solution is rather simple. Put the following key in your registry and it works like expected.
BUT, be aware that this will surley break the funcionality of winzip. And won’t get supported from the PA authors themselve.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\winzip\shell\open\command]
@="“C:\Programme\PowerArchiver\POWERARC.EXE” “%1"”AddOn: rename the attachment to *.reg and edit the path to your POWERARC.EXE in it, and then let it merge into the registry.

You can do this at home on your own computer, but this would be illigal to do it on every PA installation.
-
It was not intended to use this on every installation. I`m aware that this would lead to legal or other problems.
I simply wanted to show, how users that want that functionality can realise it.
-
this should be taken off the forum incase winzip complains.
-
Isn
t this a little overreacted ? I mean Im from Germany and you may have other laws. But alteration of a user`s registry is nothing winzip can possibly complain about.And if they do sometime in the future, you can remove this topic then.
It is not that much requested feature anyway, so the 3 or 4 users won`t do much harm.
