Nobody answered :confused: OK. At present the “Multi” compression tool is Batch Zip Creation. It allows compression into any supported format (not only Zip) however, it does NOT support compressing Folders. Only the indivdual files will be compressed into seperate archives. Folder compression has been mentioned on wishlist forum a few times e.g. http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62 For explorer view features - wait for 9.1 http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96

Inside of archive - I dont see any difference in how mouse selection works between As Web Page and Explorer mode… On the other hand, in Classic mode, to select something with a mouse, your mouse pointer needs to be outside of any of file info columns - to do it properly with larger archives, you can narrow the last column so you can click on area outside of columns to select them. I hope I was clear enough, was I? Outside archives, in Explorer mode, it does not work at all and thats one of the updates planned for 9.1 as talked about previously…. thanks,

Out of top of my head, I will say that since you did not close the Excel, PowerArchiver can not access it - MS Office programs usually mark their files in use as in use exclusivly…. I am not sure if we can make it so it shows you an Warning message when you try to update the file (something it would do if you just tried to add that file as new). thanks,

Your antivirus probably scans the file before it gets opened, and somehow it sometimes does not work, obviously :-). Maybe you can disable this scanning option?

Hm, I supposed we fixed this bug long time before. I will check it for 9.1. Sorry you didn’t response earlier.

Thanks! The issue will be fixed in next update - 9.02.01.

thanks ;)

It could be that your hard drive is damaged, or that there are errors on it. Try running Check Disk, and set it to fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. If that doesn’t work, then install PowerArchiver to a different directory and try again. Also, you could try installing it to a removable drive - in that way, if no errors are found, the hard disk is damaged and needs to be replaced! The RAM may be faulty - remove a module at a time and try (the most common cause of blue screens is faulty RAM!). Since it also happens at work, the above may not work. If that’s the case, try these: Run PowerArchiver in Safe Mode. Does it still happen? Try reinstalling Windows (try over the existing installation first, and then a clean install). Run it in compatibility mode. I know it’s extreme, but maybe it’ll work! PowerArchiver may have its bugs, but it’s still the best archiver I can recommend!

yes, and yes :-). But dont expect it that soon…

thank you for yelling at us :-) what is the name of the file and when was it released?

As to host os, it is probably valid for some other type of archives. Basically, we left categories in there even if they are not available for that specific archive. As said previously, 9.1 will make it look nice :-)

seems to be out now ;) http://download.powerarchiver.com/powarc902fr.exe

Hi, is it possible to create a ZIP archive with the Deflate64 compression algorithm from within a PBS script? It seems that the wizard in the GUI does not provide an option for that, but maybe it is possible to manually add that option to the PBS script file. Are there any plans to add that option to the wizard GUI?

Yes, you can create a PBS (PowerArchiver Backup Script) which can then be run e.g. from the task manager. See also http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187

Try this latest release (9.01.02): http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release/powarc901.exe and let us know. thanks,

Hi, we do not distribute older 6.xx versions before, you might find them by searching google.com but we do not distribute them ourselves and we dont reccomend running them either (afterall it has been more than 3.5 years of development). thanks,

REGFILES.EXE is distributed with older versions of PA (<= 8.8) and it is used ONLY by installation. There is no other way this file was used. Of course, it used to install PowerArchiver with all known file associations so if someone wanted to associate all of them, he could run REGFILES.EXE. Since v9.0 REGFILES.EXE has been changed with _PASETUP.EXE. Very similar but more powerful. If you run this utility without parameters, it wouldn’t associate any file (even those checked in Configuration). If you run with parameter /associate it WILL associate: ALL files if there is no registry entry: ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PowerArchiver\General\Associated Archives’ ONLY THOSE FILES that are specified with ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PowerArchiver\General\Associated Archives’ So this utility is not for home users. It is for multi-user environemnts where administration has set default archives that should be associated with PA in given registry key. Given key is similar to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver\General\Associated Archives’. B.t.w. “Associate” button from Configuration window should work fine - it should associate only files checked in Configuration window. Also starting PA itself automatically checs for associations (that are checked in Conf. window). So if you want to do as described in your post, create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\…\General key and set value for ‘Associated Archives’ similar to your current user key. Then run _PASETUP.EXE /associate and it will do exactly you wanted.

Thanks - I am glad someone found an error in pre-release.
