  @spwolf so where did it not work? From previous .58? Thanks! That is right. The issue was with .58 and with the latest version, no problems. Cheers DrT

  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.

  @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. Thanks!

  @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.

  Hi @Brian-Gregory Could you be more specific? Which one’s are you referring to? We post a changelog with every update and lots of stuff is updated/added/fixed. There will issues we haven’t gotten to yet as the job is large and there are priorities. That doesn’t mean everything shouldn’t be addressed, of course, and you are correct in your statement. The community is a very big help, in pointing out bugs and feature improvements. Which ones are you referring to? I can look up the bug reports and increase the priority as needed. 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!

  @jra85 said in PA 2019: Small Folder Tree Icons on High-DPI Screens: Hi, I’m using PowerArchiver 2019 on a 27" 4k display scaled at 200% in Windows 10, and there’s a minor issue where the icons in the folder tree are small: https://imgur.com/a/G29i1HZ The icons in the archive content view appear to be fine. we can certainly scale treeview icons better… thanks for the report.

  @razor19 said in PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe: I have done additional testing and have confirmed my crashes are 100% caused by PowerArchiver. I did a fresh clean install of Windows 10 and this time did NOT install PowerArchiver along with all my other programs. I saw no crashes for a month. So I installed PowerArchiver again and got a crash within an hour. I have since uninstalled PA again and have seen no such explorer.exe crashes since. Unfortunately, this is annoying enough to me that I will not be re-installing PA. Enough is enough. @razor19 As I mentioned above, we have taken some measures in PA 2019, so if you want to test and contribute, please let us know via support at conexware dot com and we will get you latest internal release… 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.

  Using PA 18.00.58 (07/2018) 64-bit I have a .7z archive with all files encrypted. When I select 1 file to delete from the archive, PA deletes all files from the archive and gives an error pop-up window that the archive is no longer a valid file. I’ve submitted a ticket for this, but was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

  @brian-gregory Brian, “In a shop”? How quaint . It is difficult to buy a regular-sized mouse without them these days. Just look on Amazon. It also irks me when there is a functionality in windows that I use, that many programs implement and a few do not . IMHO, not an unreasonable request.

  @luxor said in Slow drawing of main window.: @spwolf said in Slow drawing of main window.: I will check if we can improve this. I dont think it was any different in previous builds. In previous builds I’ve never seen the scroll bar out of position like it is in this build. If it did occur it was obviously too fast for my old eyes to pick up on it. might depend on number of files in the folder, but i went back to .37 and if folders bar + skins + hdd browse is on, scroll bar of the folders bar will be seen changing size at startup. I wrote it in… thanks!

  @drteeth said in PA 18.00.53 tab opening: Hi spwolf, No worries about the late reply. As for your problem with many tabs, just have a “close all” option. What about my request to be able to use a mouse’s forward and back buttins to navigate the archive? I always press my back button first by instinct and only then realise that I have to use the cursor and my left mouse button. I look forward to the tab enhancements. Cheers DrTeeth opened up a new thread about that: https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/5984/move-back-and-forth-via-prev-next-buttons-in-archive-folders

  @bigmike said in Tabs, empty windows and extra closing.: @spwolf said in Tabs, empty windows and extra closing.: But good idea about something there if user is not using/browsing hdd? Maybe MRU archives? Or output from favorite archives window? @Alpha-Testers - i know @Brian-Gregory is using classic with folders, maybe he can give some input? How will this work with your proposal here? 1st tab on opening with no arguments: Files and folders/folder pane shows “My PC” 1st tab on opening with archive: Archive content/folder pane shows archive folder structure opening an archive will open a new tab, folder pane shows archive folder structure opening a new tab by (+) will show MRU list/Favorites? On the first guess, I would vote for “Favorites” to fill the empty pane Probably, that will make it pretty confusing for the standard user… But the pane should never be empty. That is confusing, too. Maybe restricting browsing “My PC” to explorer mode and using folder pane in archive mode consequently for Favorites/MRU and for archive folder structures, in case an archive is open, is smarter. both folder panel and browsing hdd in archive mode are optional features, default is that there is no folder panel and there is no hdd browsing in archive mode. So i dont think it will be too crazy for pro users… and it is useful for sure.
