  @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

  @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.

  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.

  @drteeth said in PA 18.00.23 Column configuration: Hi, Whilst configuring the columns in the archive window, I noticed a couple of annoying things. The first is that the columns have the same colour as the rest of the window. I prefer to have my column headers if not a different colour to be at least delineated by a dark colour. The other thing is that when I deselect a column header so I will not see it, it does not disappear like in other programs I have used, it just closes to nothing. This is annoying as when adjusting column widths, they get in the way and I find myself stumbling across them. Cheers DrT i think it pulls the color from the system… did you check some other skins by any chance? They outline the headers. thanks.

  Please excuse did not know where this should be put or such. This may be a new product for you if interested but , The two things I have always used together with PowerArchiver are this program and a separate cd database program. Or File, CD indexer is more appropriate name. All my data disks are imaged / archived /then indexed, from the early Commodore days to the current or at least last 5 years. In the past Normal for me was to Buy a new Program and I would image it immediately Index it, then I would install the program. What I need to be doing is Downloading or Purchasing the Program and then installing. I was in hopes to even click on an executable or msi and have the PowerArchiver start and ask a couple of questions the normal stuff plus do I want to archive or index this file or CD into a database index, after installing it or would I like to View contents of it etc. If steps were made for me to Archive and also Install a program with the ability to come back and open an indexer in PowerArchiver and select the Archive function to do other things. The main thing with me these days are the fact that HardDrives are so roomy now that there is no reason not to have the indexers run in use in your program I think. However finding something on these hard drives is another matter. Also if I wanted to know what was in a particular CD those over in the CD Books I would be able to find it quickly. Finding files is sometimes another story. So if we had a Archiver that truly archives it could easily index in more than one way we could then just ask it to burn archive index place that image that I installed last year and wallah… we have a PowerArchiver that will install, archive the image, place the image and recall the images files etc and have a Archived Data File that contains all the names of the files contained in it. Thanks for giving this opportunity so watch the Alpha and Beta teams. Your company has truly gone to the upper limits in this area.

  @tfrost said in Incorrect dialogs with text size 125%: Actually the problem can be worked around by disabling display scaling in Explorer / Properties / Compatibility. Sorry, I should have tried that earlier. But if that is the solution it would be better if you added this in the manifest. so what setting do you have it on now? It works fine on all our systems, we all use at least 125 dpi. Is this on PA 2017?

  @oblivion The Backup application does not have the Action field as the Add window does, where you can select to either Move/Add/Update/Freshen the archive. That option is available in the Add window Maybe you have the “Delete original files after backup” selected? You can send us the .pbs script to support at conexware dot com and we can check it out to see why the files were/are deleted

  @pirrbe if you cancel via task manager, then file could stay locked, depending on luck… because you forced quit PA.exe, it can not release the file. I assume there is no powerarc.exe left in task manager? Then restart would “solve” the issue. Mili will try reproducing the folder cancel issue. thanks!

  Actually I have just discovered that this only happens if I have “Add to Queue” selected in the profile so it may in fact be unrelated to what type of archive is chosen.

  I extracted and recompressed… Just the WD_Apps_2.0.0.12.dmg to another 7z with same parms, tested fine Just the WD_Apps_2.0.0.12.dmg with parent folder “WD Apps for Mac” to another 7z with same parms, tested fine “WD Apps for Mac”. “WD Apps for Windows”, WD Apps Setup.exe" and locks up on “dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe” when testing so I’m thinking PA has trouble with multiple “WD Apps*.*” items (yes I’m wrong about the DMG theory) PA 2017 RC2 build 87 Windows 10 Pro x64 RS2

  Thanks for the info. are you also getting the screen in the screenshot and PA just stays there? Is your Tar file a .tar.gz or a .tar? It seems like the archive is being updated once a folder inside is deleted, and given that you’re working with a large large archive, it could be taking a while to update. In our tests here, once a folder inside is deleted, PA takes a few seconds(or more depending on the archive size) to update the archive. If possible now, try deleting a folder and let PowerArchiver update the archive. It eventually should update it and return to archive(without the progress/delete dialog that is in screenshot. Let us know if that helped and thanks for the info!

  @winter said in PA 2017 issues with ACE format (not extracting and not opening file in default app): https://app.box.com/s/ndk9rswh7mdmdtk67xakwutyy311rjye 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.

  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, PA opens an explorer where you have all functions. Why not the same technic in BACKUP ? This will avoid this kind of problems (I suppose). Suggestion : Why not in configuration/Folders create a ‘Backup Batches’ location that is filled up with a default but that can be personalized, such as for Temp/Startup locations.  This in combination with the ‘explorer window’ as used in ARCHIVES will avoid the above mentioned manipulations…

  @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
