    • PA2021: Cannot close ZIP Comment

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

    • Powerarchiver 2021 incorrectly extract tar.xz file

      Configuration:
      Powerarchiver 2021 20.00.73

      When extracting gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz , Powerarchiver wrongly thinks some .exe files have a length of zero:

    • Is PowerArchiver 2021 stable?

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I just saw, that on the Website, PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.73 is advertised as latest version. (Actually, the downloaded version says, it’s 20.00.70 in the about dialog)
      But it still comes with the “red icon set” for preview versions and has some known unfixed bugs, as I read here.

      Is it sufficiently stable to be used on production systems?

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      Hi I recently bought PowerArchiver and found some bugs and issues that I hit testing some of the features out.

      If you are doing a backup and on the compression options screen its default is compression format is PA with no option to change disk spanning. If you change to 7-zip you can change disk spanning. If you change the disk spanning then move back to PA format the field for disk spanning disables but the option stays set to what you changed it to. When you do a backup it will use PA with files spanning but PowerArchiver says that its not a valid format when you open it. If PA can’t really do file spanning then this screen is allowing it.

      I have attached an image where the progress bar is in the middle of the CD/DVD/BD Tools screen.

      alt text

      I have a 7-Zip file I created using the backup tools doing an increment backup. It opens and extracts just fine but if you using the Test option PowerArchiver locks up. Link to file: Backup-2021-02-05-20-35-36 TEST LOCKUP.7z

      On any Zip/PA/7-Zip process the pause and cancel buttons do not work. You have to hard kill the entire application to get out.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      There would be many of us with Intel Processors.

      and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.

      Reference:
      https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdf

      Can we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?

      Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      G

      I’m using the Kaspersky Total Security.

      I have configured PA as exclusion as followed:

      PA Exclusion.png

      and also is set us trusted application

      PA Trusted Application.png

      Scenario:

      My Antivirus likes to scan for everything, and it’s safeguarding behavior is to prevent the access to the file until the file is properly scanned for.

      The issue:

      PA when losses the access to file, it is stuck, consumes Resources, and never completes the process or throws any error

      Recommendation:
      PAStarter should also work as PAMonitor:
      There should be a monitoring process, at least if I’m using queuing feature, that should check for never ending compression processes and terminate them so the queue can be little bit automated.

      Also,
      There should be multiple attempts at retrying if PA loses access to or is denied, instead of having to see process was stuck for longer duration.

      Or, better, save the parameters I used for keeping the files in compression, and automatically restart the whole compression process after termination the same, of same folders and files set, this should happen in case if compression was stuck.

    • Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively

      G

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      Here’s explaination:

      https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink

      I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.

      It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.

      Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

    • Problems with Color-scheme after upgrade to build 73

      Hello!
      I am using the portable version of PA2021. After switching from build 58 to 73 I have problems with the color-scheme:
      While 58 behaves like expected and showed everything in light or dark colors according to the settings, 73 always shows the lower part of the window in dark colors, no matter whether I select automatic, light or dark.
      This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?

    • PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe

      U

      I’ve been dealing with an intermittent explorer.exe crash for 5-6 years now. It happens randomly and will usually occur multiple times within a single session of an hour or two on my machine when manipulating files through Windows Explorer. explorer.exe is the only thing that ever crashes, so it’s not hardware IMO. I’ve done all hardware diagnostics and RAM is good. I’ve even swapped out motherboards with different brand and even the exact same one and it still crashes. sfc /scannow indicates system files are fine. I’ve done multiple reinstalls of the OS with no positive results. This crashing has happened on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. It seemed to get more frequent with Windows 10 after upgrading last year. I’ve also been using PowerArchiver throughout that time period (upgrading over time with new releases). I recently disabled all non-Microsoft extensions via ShellExView and saw no crashes for about 10 days, which is really unusual. I turned back them all back on after 10 days and saw another explorer.exe crash within the hour. So I disabled all 32-bit extensions and saw another crash. Following that I disabled all the PowerArchiver shell extensions and haven’t seen a crash after a day of heavy usage manipulating files within Windows Explorer, which doesn’t happen for me. The crash dumps I’ve captured don’t seem to indicate PowerArchiver is involved but I have a hunch it has something do with PowerArchiver shell extensions. The system even feels smoother with the PA extensions disabled. Windows 10 reliability monitor always has the same type of problem:

      Description Faulting Application Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 10.0.17134.165 Application Timestamp: 4031a9f8 Fault Module Name: StackHash_e78e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: PCH_8D_FROM_ntdll+0x000000000009AA54 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 10.0.17134.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: e78e Additional Information 2: e78e327659b46c9a0c6916396b253cbf Additional Information 3: cebf Additional Information 4: cebf952c5db535ae7880488aafce55d9 Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 1a57e4e784fbc735c231c68bd88581a9 (1311047270476906921)

      I know this is a very nebulous explanation but is there any way to link this up to PA shell extensions as the cause? I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

      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.

      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.

      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)

      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!

      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 :
      0_1497534833670_4bc85d91-f68e-47cb-8142-4c22773ccb2f-image.png
      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.
      0_1497535815100_d816759f-ebb2-42bc-a2bc-3c4520e38000-image.png

      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…
      0_1497535894921_8bba27b1-219c-4083-bc67-7275345c5b80-image.png

      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 !
      0_1497465397687_4ea4dca5-d7f4-49e6-9b30-be9dd0c473de-image.png
      (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 :-)

      If it had been a snake it would have bit me! Thanks for pointing this out! I missed entirely the Options tab.

      maybe we need to move solid option… and move queue to the options tab.

      @spwolf looking forward for the files. Also please, take a look at TLabels that even if enough available space on screen, are not wide enought. Maybe you can use Delphi Autosize or something in that cases.

      @nikkho ah, ok. Yeah, keep in mind portable is there to be used on anyone’s computer without changing their PA installation. So they are kept completely separate.

      Portable can be use from usb and it will save settings to usb, and you should have same settings no matter where you use it.

      Thanks!

      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.

      Experiencing the same thing when trying to deploy PA 2017 with SCCM.
      If i run the cmd file locally on the computer it runs the installation smoothly, but when io try to deploy it the deployment crashes.
      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.

      @spwolf You are wright ! The whole hocus pocus is due to the explorer I use. It’s Directory Opus 12 Pro. When I use the explorer from Win10, no problem at all. As my remark in the forum is not relevant for PA users, please can you delete it from the forum. Thanks, and next time I will double check observations with ‘classic’ software :-).

      I’ve been checking event viewer, and have seen no crashes related to PASHLEXT64.DLL for nearly a week. I’m running PowerArchiver version 17.00.63 (03/17) 64bit and have recently upgraded to windows 10 1703 (Build 15063.rs2_release.170317-1834). What ever work that was done by ConeXware, seems to have addressed the crashing issue. Unless anything changes I would say, we can assume the issue (as far as my situation) is resolved. Thank you spwolf for your prompt responses.

      thank you for the feedback.

      Thanks. I’ve solved this problem now.

      Because I could not uninstall PA, I’ve used “Revo Uninstaller”.
      I’ve deleted all registry entries and files. After this I have started
      with PA 16.02.04 and then installed all versions up to 16.10.24.

      @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…

      @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.
