  @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. 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.

  @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!

  Hi spwolf, Here are the two dialogues that do exactly the same thing AFAICS. One you get by opening PA and then clicking File > New and the other by right-clicking on some files and getting to compress with options. I have been brief, but I hope you will follow what I mean. I much prefer the “file - new” dialogue. Either way, it does not seem intuitive to have two different dialogues that do the same thing. IMHO there should only be one. Maybe the best of both could be used to create a third design that could be the only one needed? Cheers DrT

  @PA_Fan: Thanks. I had a subsequent problem where the skin somehow became corrupt, with all buttons hidden, and thus rendering PA inaccessible. For various reasons, I updated to16.00.69 by downloading the entire file, so was able to use this to repair the installation. When that was complete, PA was restored to normal look (albeit with settings lost) and the delete/refresh problem has been cleared/fixed. when something like that happens next time, try to save the registry so we can reproduce it here. Same goes for the repair, manually deleting HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverint would have likely reset it all back without need to repair. thanks!

  @drteeth: It is a shame that it is a full screen mode, it would be more useful if it had the same functionality without resizing (drastically in my case) the main PA window. As it is, the option is useless to me as working full screen takes away the need to hide the ribbon. Regards DrT but you can have same functionality… just doubleclick on Home caption. It will minimize the “toolbar”.

  @spwolf: disable color coded file list at the bottom left in status bar, first button. Thanks, that did it. I was playing around a few days ago and could have clicked on that button. It is not very clear on the interface whether this option is disabled or not. I think the bubble help should change to indicate the status of the option and also the colour difference between the two states should be more marked. Throughout the interface, the only indication that an option is active/a button has been clicked is a very light grey, which does not stand out at all. In some places it is lighter than others. Regards DrT

  @bws110011: I had the same issue with an automatic update going from 16.00.46 to 16.00.56. I found the old installation file and reverted to .46. It was still registered with no action on my part. I sent an email to support with more details, but if you need information from another ‘bad’ system I can supply it if needed. (Question: Does the registration code change each time you request it? I had looked up the email from December with the registration code and tried that, then requested it again to confirm that I had it correct and it provided a different code.) Hello, this has been solved update few days later, here is the latest release: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160060.exe Yes, the code changes each time due to encryption used. Thanks!

  @drteeth: I could not get the toolbar back by hovering over anything. Double-clicking got me out of special mode. I can now open an archive with the toolbar always showing. Thanks DrT yeah, my bad… its single click for toolbar to show temp, and doubleclick to exit the mode - or actually enter it. I think in Win10, this is how Explorer works by default. In PA it is disabled by default and you can enable it as you have found out

  @moles42: Update ! I had to remove latest drive emulator and use windows 10 default options to mount ISO… I then reinstalled Virtual Drivers and the option returned to shell menu but it doesn’t actually show the option in the shell configurations menu…did you decide to remove it perhaps ? After I closed PA the ‘mount / unmount’ options have once again disappeared from the shell menu. PA is overwriting settings that VD is setting. So install VD and then run PA. We will get them back to config.

  Problem extracting subfolders

  Hello, when I attempt to extract a subfolder (from a self-extracting executable), strange things happen: The archive looks like this, in the tree view on the left: pywin32-219.win-amd64-py3.5.exe [1] ** PLATLIB *** adodbapi *** isapi *** [etc.] ** SCRIPTS I want to extract only the contents of the PLATLIB folder, so I select it in the tree view and click “Extract Files”. In the “Extract” dialog, “All files” is selected, “Selected files” is grayed out. None of the five “Options” are selected. After extracting, I get a folder that looks like this: adodbapi isapi [etc.] SCRIPTS PA has extracted the contents of the selected folder as top-level folders in the target, then dropped the other folder from the archive into there as well. I suppose the correct way to do this is to select the contents of the PLATLIB folder in the right pane first, but if PA works any differently depending on what is selected in the tree view, I think it should not intermix files/folders this way. This happens with both 2015 and 2016 RC2. [1] http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pywin32/pywin32/Build%20219/pywin32-219.win-amd64-py3.5.exe

  @Richard: Hi, I am a long time user of PA. I primarily use it to decompress audio files to my Windows Home Server based server. This worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop, but it is now very slow and unreliable. It takes a long time to bring up the folder destination lists and whilst decompressing often hangs up and occasionally crashes all together. I have tried remapping the destination drives but this doesn’t help. Anything else I can try? Best wishes, Richard It seems your network is slower/unreliable after Windows 10 upgrade. This could happen for instance due to bad drivers. Check if you have latest drivers for your network adapter. Also check network speed - for instance simply copy file in Windows Explorer between two computers, how fast does it go? Does it often stop?

  @drteeth: Done. Sent to ‘support@’. DrT Cool, I will check it out now, thanks for sending it. Just to confirm - upgrade process in Windows Installer will not delete your previous settings, it is not supposed to. Sometimes when we change important parts of PA, there could be old setting that clashes with new PA. We test this usually so for instance default values will always work fine but it is up to us to make sure it works properly, there is not automated way. In this case with PA 2016, toolbar component is completely new, so it has everything different compared to old one and we manually adjusted settings to match.

  @ckit: Just a heads up, if you print your email containing your PA 2016 registration details to a PDF, open it in PDF XChange Editor and then copy and paste into PA 2016 it will Fail everytime!!! It has to be done from your browser or some other PDF reader Update: I’m using a clipboard manager called Ditto in the background which may also be interfering. it is just a text email - there is nothing fancy about it, pdf editor is likely doing something wrong when it creates PDF.

  @Knightbeat40: Here is the screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6fmuqqz58ohdri/Image%201.jpg?dl=0 Ah, so you cant run PAOP and ZTE together… they do the same thing. ZTE is for when you want independent compression for Outlook and shell, without PowerArchiver installed and PAOP is when you already have PA installed.

  @hot_denim: Yes, SFX Wizard creates a .EXE file that is an ‘extractor’ and also the ‘data’. Any particular reason why it is not made available for use to the public?. (It is not much different for the SFX Wizard’s .EXE, just not combined) It is custom code created for Adobe for their specific application needs…

  @Alycat: Ok, I will enable logging. But I know which files, I sat and watched, when I get that Windows box (second above, except it says powerarchiver.exe) everything is greyed, and in the list of files backed up errors start to appear. When I click that box to allow it, all starts up again ok, except for those file errors when it was grey. ok, so you can use vss settings for these files to make sure they are backed up.

  @leishirsute: It’s too bad that you cannot include PK2.0g but show a warning of its weak and insecure encryption. Now Powerarchiver has no compatibility with Windows 7 Explorer zip folder usage for encrypted zip files. When sending an encrypted zipped file to novice Windows users it was convenient to tell them the password and to have them just open the file with Windows Explorer folder access. I will stay on the PA (11/2014) version until I figure out what compression software is compatible Windows Explorer encrypted zip folder access. Thanks for the notice. pk 2.04g encryption is now considered a security flaw. It can easily be broken very quickly by anyone how can search on google. So if you are sending it to someone, you can send them a link to PA 2015 download, even if they do not purchase it, it will let them extract the file… that way at least encryption is secure. I dont think MS intends on updating their engine, it is 10 year old these days and company that sold it to them went out of business long time ago.

  if you save your complete settings via the Options>Config dropdown, then your cloud account definitions will be saved as well and you can just run the .reg to apply them. Or, save them to Cloud and restore them upon registering PowerArchiver using your online code. hope that helps

  @steje: I will certainly use either the email or forums here in the future. I’m not complaining about a lack of support response or anything :-). Please realize - I posted simply to ‘question’ if the support ‘Form’ was intended to be used anymore because I didn’t get a response and because the latest version in the list was quite old. The last part in particular happens sometimes when companies switch their support model at a point in time and neglect to update older links, etc… And I only continued to try in case you wanted to figure out why it wasn’t working. But I’m content to just move on with life :-). Hey Steje, we know you mean well :-). Thats why I asked you to send email, please send it - it uses same support system. I want to check if that works for you. We keep getting support emails via web form all the time, so it is weird that it does not work for you. Thank you!

  pae/pae2 require full decryption of the file first, so basically they use aes 256bit. they can not quickly check hash to see if guessed password is correct.

  When you click say New, enter a folder, set up your job, then click close, why not get that screen to send a message to the main screen (with the now out dated list), to pass the folder used and to tell it to refresh? Obviously I do not know all the details of your program - but that is just what I would have tried in my software.

  FYI. I just added a new folder in DropBox that is alphabetically prior to the one that was in there when I first noted the problem. The contents of that folder now appear as the contents of every folder when clicking on folder names in the right pane. The contents are still correct when clicking on folder names in the left (navigation) pane.
