  @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.

  @ckit Thanks, I’d forgotten about that setting. Changing that one to Notepad++ does allow me to use Notepad++ as the viewer. But why the two possible ways of choosing the viewer? Maybe the one in Settings should be the default but the one in the View dialog is completely non functional at present!

But should that be there at all, going by your original reply to me. @spwolf said in Duplicate skin.: @luxor shouldnt be there at all since these are toolbar icons. yeah, that requires a bit more work, we need to add some new options to that config screen.

  @the_purspyk said in Configuration bug in relelase version of 2018: Seems to be working. Some small observations, during the installation, I dont selelct any of the option ie add items to Start Menu, but PowerArichiver is always added to the Start Menu (this has happened in all versions of the program, and i have mentioned this before). If the program is registerted, would it not be possible to remove the Register Icon from the toolbar. I got the impression initially that my program had not been registered, or grey it out. we will write it up, thanks. As to the register icon, it is under Options in Modern toolbar. You might want to change the settings, upgrade to other version, etc, thats why it is there… otherwise PA clearly states it is registered in about window and unregistered is removed from the caption.

  @pirrbe said in PA 2018v32 "BURNER" - save dvd to iso app doesn't detect CD writer...: Media used is indeed RW (tried Cd and DVD). I could burn and add files afterwards (RW). The format is UDF. When I insert that DVD using SH soft, no problem. I still can add files on it. When trying out this with PA Burner, it’s going wrong. No active ‘Burn’ button, incorrect counters, etc… The first problem was that the external writer was not recognized by PA. That has been fixed, but still not operational. Explorer index : PA index : I hope this is not an isolated local problem. yeah, that looks like Burner is not recognizing your disc as writable one. Did you try checking use last session checkbox? I will try with some DVD-RWs I have, I burned some CD’s and DVDs but of normal R kind over the weekend.

  @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.

  Given that there are more users than developers, perhaps the Shift+ method should be used to enable the dialogue box with the default being no overwrite query. Just my opinion. Look forward to a resolution.

  @mwb1100 said in "Preview" window gets lost when I try to move it: The problem still shows in the 17.01.04. Did the fix just not make this release, or by next major version do you mean 18.0.xx? Thans for checking up! We: a. fixed it so you cant move it to the bottom BUT it requires reset of settings or new install. b. made sure upcoming PA 2018 alpha/beta has this working right - preview works fine at the bottom.

  @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!

  no, because in that case it would mean that it is possible for files with same filename end up missing from backup, since there could be only 1. if you need to extract them as with no path, you can do that. thanks!

  On my desktop it got a bit muddled up because, I think, I checked manually for updates at the same time as it was updating itself. On my laptop I let it do it’s stuff and it seemed to work well, I think it updated when I closed PowerArchiver after using it.
