  ACE is old format that was popular in early 2000’s, very similar to RAR I guess… it stopped being updated some 10 years or so ago… archives can be encrypted or not.

  @delixyr said in Starting PA is slow:

  The latest version of PA 2017 works slow for me for a rather powerful system with 12 GB of RAM and i7.
  Explorer context menu extracting, launching main UI and Toolbox… All are slow.

  Even saving settings and closing main window is slow… Takes like 4 seconds to do all that.

  we have sped up explorer compress to file, extract to / to “instant” from “4s” in next build.

  As to closing, someone else reported this but we can not reproduce this. Does this happen each time for you? And what AV do you use? OS? Thanks a lot!

  Unsolved PA Burner - CD Ripper : compress parameter ignored ?

  This is the CD track 2 info :
  

  These are the results of different soft Rippers <> PA (same track)

  

  Conclusion : it seems that there’s no compression, despite different param selection, given the result of PA Size is equal to the original CD track size, 43 MB…

  I have a lot of created batches and want to organize them back into folders or rename them with more logical names, I will have problem :
  
  In case of rename/move your .pbs files are erased from the dashboard…

  Hereby a visualisation of the effects when you rename a .pbs batch :
  Actual status : two files in explorer/two in dashboard, syncrone.
  

  I rename a file in explorer (not a function in dashboard). And now I have 2 files in explorer, 1 in dashboard. The REFRESH has no impact… and the renamed is erased…
  

  To have the renamed file in the dashboard, I have to run it once in explorer.

  Question : if you open the dashboard for ARCHIVES, and want to open one or add a new, PA will open an explorer where you have all functions. Why not the same technic in BACKUP ? This will avoid this kind of problems (I suppose).

  @spwolf I went back to the explorer shell commands. Aaaah, somewhere there’s allways a solution in PA ! My case : the file was already encrypted, but I forgot to ‘manual’ add the ‘enc’ in the filename. Renaming is for the moment not a good idea (discussed in chat, but still to report). But of course, in explorer you select the encrypted file, then in shell command ‘Power Archiver’/‘Encrypt’ and there you can select the suffix ‘_enc’. Cool, my encrypted file is encrypted again but now with the desired encrypt indication !
  
  (the context of my request was in the case I use PA as an ordinary Zipper to quickly compress/encrypt just one file. So not a real archive).
  Ok, given the possibility to adjust it trough PA itself, my problem is solved :-)

  @pirrbe i would guess we need to expand this to include .pa and make it work without pae… compress & encrypt is an legacy option for when ZIP encryption was poor.

  @pirrbe thanks to those files i discovered that it creates .7z archive 2nd time around, hence it cant be opened as .pa… it works if you rename it to .7z… seems like something simple in gui that we should be able to fix quickly… thanks a lot!

  Unsolved PA2017 build 74 - Folders Bar Paint bug

  Open an archive with Folders Bar enabled, click once on the archive name in the Folders Bar and now click on a file in the listing. The archive name in the Folders Bar is now completely black and impossible to read!!!

  This affects only the Light skins except for Classic Light!
  (Caramel, Holidays, Office 2016 Light, Spring Green, Valentine, Whiteprint)

  

  Update: I am seeing a focusing bug on those not affected…
  With Blueprint, Classic Dark, Halloween and Office 2016 Dark skins, the archive name in Folders Bar remains selected even with a filename selected in list!
  With the Classic Light skin, the archive name in Folders Bar remains unselected when a filename is selected in list!

  Which one is correct?

  @spwolf Yes. I think it’s better. I wish I could remember the exact folder I was using before, but I can’t. It seems fast enough now anyway.
