  @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.

  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!

  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

  I have compressed full PowerArchiver x64 portable in my SSD disk, so it is easy for you to reproduce. Uncompressed size: 176.473.679 bytes. 7-Zip 17.00 Ultra LZMA 128MB fb273 myx=9: 28.330.063 bytes. PowerArchiver 7z 17.00.69 LZMA Ultra: 29.060.624 bytes. 7-Zip 17.00 Ultra LZMA2 128MB fb273 myx=9: 28.323.572 bytes. PowerArchiver 17.00.69 7z LZMA2 Ultra: 29.062.095 bytes. PowerArchiver 17.00.69 7z Optimized Ultra: 41.579.382 bytes. Take a look at the bad results with the Optimized profile, and also at the equivalent PA implementation, being slightly worse than the one in 7-Zip, meaning that the library used or its parameters, are subobtimal. By the way, same with PA format, excellent results: PowerArchiver 17.00.69 pa Extreme Optimize Strong: 27.114.421 bytes.

I have about 600computers that i need to deploy this program to so it would be nice if you could try to fix it. keep in mind that PA 2017 is Beta 1 still… by final (in May?) there will also be MSI installation that will be easier to use for business/enterprise installations.

  @PA_Fan said in SharpShell errors in Win 7 Event Viewer: @spwolf Certainly I will post into separate thread. I included them here because the Sharpshell errors seem connected with icon management and creation, and, given that the screen problem seems to be icon-connected (at least in some way), I wasn’t sure if there might be a connection. with link to shellexview, you will be able to manually disable various different shell extensions, and you will certainly find the issue since you wont have that many non-microsoft ones. as to the screen issue, it is a backup bug, it doesnt have anything to do with icons in any way, it is just that backup writes wrong values in PA registry once completed and causes issues…

  @Stowik said in "The specified account already exists" error: @spwolf: This usually means something is wrong with your Windows Installer, usually setup so did you review of Phenq repository got wiped out. Try cleaning PowerArchiver entry from Windows Installer database by using MSI Clean Up tool: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html That should delete PowerArchiver previous version from registry and then you should be able to install new one. As to the images - in the future, you can use imgur.com to post links to image files, They are very reliable and great image host. thanks! Awesome spwolf, was having the same problem but after using windows installer cleanup and deleting Power Archiver I’ve been able to reinstall and it works great. It works fine for me although i had to reinstall it, as it was getting freeze after 15 mins, but it works fine now,

  @davidsplash yes, but only when we stop changing it… so maybe this time next year? It is not a priority right now since there is a long list of things to work on to add to format, such as jpeg, mp3, faster rep, and many others.

  Try Optimized Fast at Ultra and then at Normal… what do you get there? But do it on SSD, not regular HDD. And lower treads for more speed. Ultra can do 8t, but Normal do 4t max.

  @ripefruit: I have had to use 7-zip on 3 occasions today to first extract the contents of a TAR file, and then I was able to use PA to extract the files located within a sub folder so it looks to me like the issue is the downloaded TAR folder. can you please update to latest release: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc161014.exe And let us know if it works properly. I remember we solved some issues with tar engine. Basically what is likely happening (cant be sure without example) is that unix filesystem allows more characters in file and folder names. They cant be extracted properly in Windows file system as is, that would return an “permissions” error. We have workarounds for these, but it is possible that some version introduced new issue, I remember us talking about something similar few months ago - so it is either fixed due to report or we re-introduced the issue in latest release. Thanks for checking it out!

  @Socrates: I am not 7 or 8 wizard, but it seems as if I can avoid the constant prompts if I (a) on the PA icon on my desktop, I right-click, choose “Properties,” “Advanced,” and then “Run as administrator.” If that does not work with some programs, (b) I can find the main program.exe, and after right clicking, and choosing “Properties,” and then “Security,” and changing permissions there. Finally , it seems to matter if I run the exe installing the program by right clicking and choosing “Run (the installation file) as an Administrator.” It appears that that selection gets inherited somehow by the program itself. If this is rotten advice, please say so. I have stumbled across these trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts and dialogue boxes. The only problem is that you really only want to run something as with administrator privileges when you need to. On other occasions when you’re not expecting to need administrator privileges it’s safer not to have them.

  small tweak, to upload to subfolder, omit the root folder (dropbox in above post) and type in /test/ to upload to initial subfolder, and that works. Uploading to /test/test1/ is what needs to be fixed and is logged in. sorry for the confusion, thanks again for the heads up!

  There are still some problems with version 16.10.14. When I extract an archive (RAR) via shell then the first extracting file still isn’t displayed. Next thing is that, when extracting via main window, the extraction can’t be canceled. When I click on the cancel button and then on “no” PA keeps extracting. After that the cancel button doesn’t work anymore. And if I click on the cancel button while the extraction is paused then the extraction will be continued.

  Hi Brian, We’ve just tested two files, a 170mb file and a 1GB file, via Compress to 7z and Compress w options>7z Compression profile changed to LZMA2 Ultra. Also tried with LZMA Ultra. In both cases, both files resulted in same file size of the compressed 7z file. Seems fixed. If you happen to come across a specific situation where the issue seems present, please let us know and we’ll test immediately. Thanks!

  We have created a debug version of Patchbeam for PowerArchiver. Here it is; http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release16/patchbeam-debug.7z Inside the 7z file is patchbeam.exe, please replace it with the standard Patchbeam.exe that is located in one the following folders C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver\PatchBeam or C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PatchBeam Once error appears, there should be a full logging system in there. You will be able to email us a full log (copy to clipboard for instance) with all the info for us to trace the error). You can email it to support at conexware dot com Thanks for your help!

  Thanks for the info. Here I have a 263 character filename to which I added characters to rename and it worked. Also removed characters to a shorter filename, also worked. Maybe we can give it a try with your sample file and settings as described in my previous post. Hopefully we’ll be able to reproduce it then. thanks!

  @skypx: Not sure if my explanation will suffice, but here goes… tar puts multiple files into a single (tar) file. gzip compresses one file (only). So if the files don’t have the correct extension the program used to open it will try and fail simply because it tries to open it based on the extension. thats a good explanation… tar has no compression but can store multiple files. So several compression formats can be used to compress tar files (gz, bz2, xz). When server is not configured properly, it gives you wrong extension. File on server could very much be .tar but server gives it to browser as tar.gz and the issue is there.

  @ckit: When Adobe Acrobat\Reader stops using the internet\cloud? to view a local PDF I may return to using it. i didnt notice that? In any case, it also has issues as well. I had to reinstall it few times to make it working (it is own instance). It sucks to have to do so much work when you simply have to print something 2 times per month.

  Hello Yael, After checking out rep files, they are reports from stock software and they are not compressed files, hence they can not be opened by PA or any other archiver.

  @joakim_46: When updating from version 16.00.67 to version 16.02.04 under Windows 10 x64, I got a dialog box called 7-Zip with error “Can’t load config info”. And the PatchBeam update did abort. Tried second time, and no error this time. Just want to inform you. Is this when it asked you if you want to restore the settings? If so, maybe the download of the settings got interrupted but worked 2nd time? Thanks!

  @deadlyshadow: Hello After clean installing windows and exactly after installing PowerArchiver, Windows Explorer opens with a delay, it seems unchecking “Use Explorer Extensions” will not unload Explorer Extension. Regards Hi deadlyshadow. Check out shellexview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview_setup.exe http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html It lets you disable specific shell extensions. You can try seeing which one exactly is creating this issue for you and maybe if it is due to presence of some other shell extensions as well. You can easily sort by name and then go to PowerArchiver ones. After disabling any of the options, you need to restart explorer.exe from taskmanager (right click> Restart). thank you!
