    Hi, when you open/extract last file (one named .zip) PowerArchiver will automatically extract whole spanned archive, not only last file. regards,

    Try disabling your AV real-time protection as well when doing the test, and see if that improves things.

    It’s very dependent on the data then. Try the same with a nightly Firefox distribution and you’ll see a huge advantage for 7-Zip.

    Actually, what I think would be a nice solution to such problems would be for PA to default to centered windows and have a checkbox in the settings to remember window position for those who don’t want that.

    suggestion use keymaker it uses a phrase of yours to creat a password. I know this forum is just for powerarchiver, but this might help stop people mentioning this subject when it has no way of solving it.

    It is not - simply an small bug, each time when you restart PA, window would grow one pixel to the right and one pixel at bottom of the window. We were alerted to it week ago via support and will be fixed in next update (already is). thanks,

    @Henry_Jones: worth a try, but don’t know if this works on Server 2003: List the Desktop directory with “dir /x”. Then all files / dirs will be shown with there short filename (if any). So you can try deleting “FINEPR~1” instead of “finePrint…”. Hi Henry, That seems to have done the trick. Thank you for the info. That was driving my crazy seeing those folders on my desktop but there gone now :)

    I’m sorry, I’m running XP Pro SP2, PA 9.02.01 and The Bat! is my e-mail client. I’ve noticed errors any time it comes to deleting a 7-zip archive from within PA.

    Please read my post carefully - support was moved from certain CAB SFX’s not all of them, and basically what happened was it would make browsing CAB SFX’s show error msg’s all the time, and that happened for ALL CAB SFX’s - this also included WinXP SP2, which was reported on these forums month ago. You could not browse that file and now you can. I will close this thread and will post when we update the CAB SFX support again. thanks,

    what i meant to say the backup creates a new bh file and should replace other one. (over write it). If it does not then it will not be created. but it might already of deleted the bh file aleadry there cause it has too in order to make way for the new bh file

    If you are simply asking which gives the smallest archive file - then I agree with Ivan that 7Zip is usually the answer. However, when I did some sample testing I found that 7Zip was very bad on “compressed” formats such as Jpeg !! Another consideration may be speed - 7Zip is by far the slowest compression method. On “normal” filetypes:- Cab gives the next best compression, usually much faster than 7Zip. Tar with Bzip2 gives the next best compression, usually faster than Cab. Note: in my testing 821 Wav files 15,281,041 Bzip2 - about 8 minutes (11.5MB) Cab - about 25 minutes (11.9MB) 7Zip - nearly 2 hours (11MB) PS for the Jpegs I tested 10 Files (12,600,516) cab 7 minutes 12,564,597 bh 3 minutes 12,588,570 bz2 5 minutes 12,615,759 !.expansion.! 7z 45 minutes 12,664,029 !.expansion.! I would recommend that you do a sample of your own files and judge for yourself.

    why create two types of installtion . it would be nice if evryone uses the same installtion. then bugs in installtion can be ironed out by everyone not a hand fully of people. i would like an advance installtion as the current installtion used by non business users is limited. if you disable option it still installs them as it remembers the previous installtion which is not really what most people want

    @davidsplash: why not have an icon just for the first volum i.e ro1 (a special icon)if thats the first one and the rest have an icon for rar archives. basically it would be nice if you clicked on asy r04 it tells you itt is the fourty part of an archive and can open the file. so if you open any part of tyhe volume it can open up the whole archive Note: this applies to spanned Zip as well : z01, z02 etc. (also not associated / no icons). I’m not sure about the icons, but are you referring to this wishlist request again: http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35 “Clicking on any part of a spanned archive should automatically search for first part” :D

    PowerArchiver is designed so it looks good on 90 dpi (Normal) and 120 dpi (Large). 144 dpi is not so common - this would require many window changes to support it. The only solution would be to make all the windows resizable and then accordinally resize all the components on the window, but this is not planned for near future. We suggest you to use 120 dpi - it is default large size for most machines.

    When we changed to new TAR component for 9.00, we lost support for .z files. It will be returning in upcoming 9.1 release… thanks,
