  FAQ: What is optimized 7-Zip compression?

  7-Zip Optimized Compression in PowerArchiver ** What is it?** From PowerArchiver 2009, we have added feature called Optimized 7-Zip compression. This feature is currently unique to PowerArchiver 2009. With Optimized Compression we have tried to solve one of the most important issues that 7-Zip has when compared to ZIP and RAR formats, which is speed and automatic detection of content being compressed. What does it do? With Optimized compression feature on, PowerArchiver tries to smartly detect files that are being compressed and assign special compression methods to improve either speed or compression. In the case of text files, it automatically uses PPMd compression for them (instead of LZMA) which has a lot better compression ratio and is also faster. For files that can not be compressed further, it uses different LZMA settings to speed up compression without losing compression strenght. It also works great with solid setting on, which is reccomended as not only it increases compression strenght but also speed as well. Results Results are double the compression strenght on text files, and double the speed on files that can not be compressed (mp3, avi, mpeg, etc). Obviously these are the best case scenarios, and in real life usage it depends on data that you are trying to compress.

  tried to reproduce this on a couple of machines and the issue did not appear in either case; can you export your settings in the config dropdown please, compress them to 7z and send them over to support at conexware dot com and will try to reproduce that way. Also, which windows theme do you have selected? Does the issue appear with this zip file only or it appears on others as well? Thanks!

  Thanks BigMike, I hate to say it , VM has a wide range of documentated cases like these the one’s i know of doing what i suggested helps, but not in all cases. Then your talking more time to investigate, which is when the question is raised why not do a rebuild seeing that this isnt an issue being replicated on other VM’s. But, it’s not a PowerArchiver problem as i’ve seen this across many other platforms and dll’s. Sorry i couldnt help further buddy, if you do manage to figuire it out please share we would love to hear from you again. Kind Regards, RJWaring

  Actually I think deleteing the file from the archive before adding the updated version again may not be working quite right either. The resulting .pa file seems to get larger! For now I will just delete the whole .pa archive and re-create it. It’s probably quicker in many cases too.

  @JoeS said in Searching for the specific Regkeys needed to default new installations in Modern Windows 10 not dark view: When I push PowerArchiver 2019.00.50 by MSI, new installations come up dark. I know that I can put the registry keys I need to control user settings in firstrun.reg, but I haven’t been able to isolate the ones that I want. Specifically, I don’t want to open up in Dark Mode. So far I have tried “MySkinDir”=“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\SKINS\Light Solitude\” Thanks It is best to wait for next build where windows ribbon will be default… we will also have a new gui tool for commonly used settings out very soon.

  @spwolf I am afraid that I will not be able to correctly understand the question, because I speak English badly. I will try to summarize my last post. I switched to using the Classic Simple (fastest) skin and now I do not have such a problem. But if I switch to the Light Solitude skin, then I begin to experience this problem. All of the above is also true for version 19.00.50. P.S. I apologize. After I gave the answer, I realized that the message was not to me. Now I understand everything.

  @moles42 said in Missing or ugly SFX-Icon: I think that pixelated icon has been around a long time if memory serves. yeah, ZIP SFX has been around forever… we were rewriting it last year but the main problem we had is that today, new SFX’s are considered in many cases as false positives. So no matter how hard we tried, we had at least >10 false positive warnings for new SFX.

  I’m trying running with the Indexing Service disabled on both my PCs now because it’s useless and just sticks on certain files which there is no easy way to identify. I don’t think I’m going to miss it because I already tend to use WHERE /r from the command line to find files since it usually gets results much quicker anyway.

  This is the return of a previous issue. With an archive open and the file list longer than the window display, typing the first letter of the file in the list to jump to the first entry does not work. It will work if a file name starting with that letter is visible in the list window, but not otherwise. I am using version 19.00.47 64 bit.

  This happens when I log in as a Standard User without administrator rights and run the PowerArchiver as an administrator. If I log in as an admin, there is no such problem. If I log in as a non admin and run the archiver as a standard user account without administrator rights, then this problem also does not exist.

  @spwolf said in "The specified account already exists" error: @KoloheWiz: The latest release - PA 2016 - will not complete installation. No matter what it ends with the “The specified account already exists” error. I start the update process using the Check For Update button under Configuration>Auto Update. The new version downloads and begins to install but stops abruptly with the “The specified account already exists” error. I have a screenshot and the log file but no way to post them here. I have no URL to post the image to because I do not own any domains. IMHO, that should NOT be the only way to add an image or log file to a forum post as there are more people without a domain than ones that do. For that matter, “Insert Image” doesn’t mean the same as “Insert Image Link” which is what the button should read for accuracy purposes. This usually means something is wrong with your Windows Installer, usually setup repository got wiped out. Try cleaning PowerArchiver entry from Windows Installer database by using MSI Clean Up tool: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html That should delete PowerArchiver previous version from registry and then you should be able to install new one. As to the images - in the future, you can use imgur.com to post links to image files, They are very reliable and great image host. thanks! Awesome spwolf, was having the same https://www.stlcurioshoppe.com/v-tight-gel-review/ problem but after using windows installer cleanup and deleting Power Archiver I’ve been able to reinstall and it works great.

  You cannot drag and drop folders into Archive Converter window when you start PowerArchiver with Admin rights. If you start PowerArchiver without Admin rights, you can drop and drop folders into the Archive Converter window correctly.

  @Minotaur said in Preview of archive contents in Win10 explorer: Hi there. Back in PA2016, I used to be able to select a zip/rar/etc. file in Windows Explorer and I’d see the archive contents in the Windows 10 preview pane. However no version since this has had this feature. Is this a big, or something that was intentionally removed, or am I missing a setting to enable it somewhere? Thanks. It has returned with PA 2019 Preview… do you have access to it?

  @nsd3 said in UAC elevation required whenever I start PowerArchiver 2019 toolbox: I’ve just upgraded to the Toolbox version of PowerArchiver, and following the email invitation, downloaded and installed PowerArchiver 2019.00.26. UAC elevation kicks in whenever I start the application. Anyway to prevent this happening, it’s really annoying. Uncheck all users option from the warning window and click ok… does it happen again? Do you have any other software for compression installed? Let us try to fix the root of the problem in next build. thanks!

  @The_PurSpyk said in Context Menu Icons (right click in File Explorer), general comments: Hi I know this was an issue in the beta version of 2018, and it seems to be the same in 2019, the right click menu icons in File Explorer are red, the uninstall icon ion Control Panel is also red? When using the new Windows 10 theme, there is a lot of inconsistency between the different modes, in the burners, you have large colourful icons on top of the scree, in ftp mode you have very small icons, seems a bit of a mess at the moment. If you select Modern Toolbar, and have the dark theme on in Windows 10, the toolbar has a black background while the rest of the application is white, the 2018 version never had this issue. red is on purpose for beta versions being improved, but we also did some of it on purpose… in any case, we finished all the changes for next build, it looks tight IMHO. we can implement new windows dark skin for ribbon ui only for the ribbon part, not for the rest of the app as we cant skin only small part of the application while top ribbon is official windows ribbon ui and cant be skinned. You can change this option manually in under Skins> Modern Toolbar> Auto, Dark, Light. thanks!

  @MDuss said in Power Archiver 20018 and Outlook 2016: Hi Spywolf. When you are in the add-ins menu from the option and you want to open the configuration from an other addin like for example “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” do you get then the windows which tells you that this add-in have no configuration settings or do you get the window from powerarchiver although you have selected for example the “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” Add-in? MfG MDuss In the future update, we will remove separate add-in menu in options, so you will be able to configure it via toolbar only, as Microsoft wants. That way there is no confusion. Let us know if you notice anything else, thank you!

  Hi @Chris-Steinbeck-Bell There definitely isn’t a problem with your license, it just seems that it does not have the Advanced Codec Pack(.PA format) included. We did have a couple of earlier 2018 versions where the .PA format was unlocked while it was not supposed to and that was a bug. Upon solving the bug, it worked as intended, for PowerArchiver users who have the advanced codec pack. You may renew your license through your account at www.conexware.com/shop, which will include the .Pa format as well.

  @ianac said in Error during extraction from self-extracting archive (v18.01.04 - 64bit): Apologies for replying to my own post - hope i havent broke a forum rule. It seems there might be an issue with that self-extracting file linked to in my original post because i’ve just created a temporary Win10 VM to run it in and the self-extracting file also generates zero length files too. However i still think there is an issue with PA because an updated source archive was posted a few weeks later and can be found in this link… https://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-src-3.1.5-1.exe Running that self-extracting file does not create any zero length files but when it is opened in PA they are still shown as being zero length and the same error occurs when extracting them. seems like NSIS installer latest release changed something and our extractor does not work anymore (properly)? Will check, thanks for the update.

  Hi, I’ve just noticed, that the localization of the shell extension doesn’t work in PowerArchiver. My OS is Windows 10 x64 1803. If I right click in the standard explorer the PowerArchiver shell extension is localized. If I right click in the file listing insider PowerArchiver, the shell extension is English.

  @spwolf said in No Move with Compress with Options: @bigdog said in No Move with Compress with Options: Just curious why disabled with 7z format but not others? Basically the process is the same no matter the format. Copy files into the new archive, verify validity, and then delete (wipe) the original files. we have better access with other engines than with 7z/pa… Interesting… well hopefully that can be resolved at some point. Thanks

  @bigdog said in Options to Save Password: I found a new bug today when it is asking to save the password for encrypted archives. You can either hit Yes to save it or No to not only NOT save it but Never to ask again about saving it. The other option cancel should work where like it does on other apps. It cancels that current prompt but it may ask again later. Instead what cancel does it cancel the whole archiving process. Thanks for letting us know, we will check it out for next build.
