When you right-click a file, PA could do a very quick check of the magic bytes to see if it is a zip file, and if so it would operate exactly like .zip. No need to add support separately for .jar, .epub, .cbz, .xap, .docx, .odf, .woff, etc. And these formats don't usually get associated with an archiver anyway - they have their own programs they are associated with. It would just be nice if PowerArchiver knew it could unpack them.

Excellent idea.
