@Sharantyr:

Don’t work too. 7z files keep track of paths, directories and subdirectories, but once converted to sfx it don’t save it. (and please don’t ask me if I checked the save dirs info checkbox)…

Paths are working for me with 7z (converted to SFX) both with “Save Full Folder Info” active or not :confused:

that was due to the dll being in use - it should have been updated after restart.

thanks for the info!

you can get it from download page now…

I only want ONE translation, but not English!

that would most probably only be possible with a text file or a collection of text documents.

@joakim_46:

You’re right. I did some tests and found it forces PPMd by enabling that option. It would be nice to have it enabled automatically like WinRAR does.

that depends on 7zip engine… right now, it is not automatic.

@The:

well…i need to compress a game that is having 2gb to 20mb…am i able to do so with the help of power achiever 2007??? …tell me anyother software to do this favor for me

No this will not be possible.

P.S. please don’t post same question in different area of the same forum.

Not at this time… I believe this is on wishlist…

7z, cab are solid formats, so PA cant update them… We will add workaround for 7z in the future versions. Even if you select non-solid 7zip, it wont work currently.

Other formats that PA supports only extraction - rar, ace, etc, wont work.

Formats like zip, bh, tar work fine because PA fully supports them and they are not solid formats.

thanks

Interesting - I will test it on our computers and see what happens.

It is way too slow for opening files, however that might be due to archive being broken. I will test that out.

thanks

@spwolf:

hi,

this is an known issue. PA’s ISO support currently does not support those files.

thanks,

Also I converted it to a .nrg file using nero, PA still has the same problem. Could you suggest any other tool that could convert it to a format that PA could recognize and work with?

Thanks

translating PowerArchiver is not hard, but it is time consuming process because there is a lot of stuff to be translated.

thats why we ask to contact us before we send out translation packs.

@aviramof:

let’s say i have an archive thet is protected by softwere and i know the password is there a way just to type the password once and then resave the archive without the password and without extracting and repacaging the content of the file?

10X IN ADVANCE.:)

Sorry, no.
You can only extract/recompress or use archive convert.

@spwolf:

Let me know if that works fine…

thank you!

Hi spwolf,

this version works perfectly for me (Help is working, creating SFX files in both versions is working). So I’m happy with this build.

Thanks again for your efforts

FreeBird

Yup, i6 are Install Shield v6 CABs. That’s why I’m asking if there’s some licencing restriction or there was no request to implemented till now?

thanks - we will take an look for .02 and let you know if we have any questions!

Hi,

I have done a few more tests and it appears that the FTP works when i run the backup script from Windows Explorer but not when it is ran as a scheduled task.

I will do a few more tests and start a new thread if necessary.

thanks

Jeff

thanks

Glad to help.

You also need to update the PA Outlook Plug-in.
V2 beta is available on download page.

currently you have to create it first on your hard drive… you can use Move (instead of Add) and it will delete those files from the HD.

You need to enable normal relative path option in Options> Misc for storing of root folders….

thanks!

48hrs? We are not THAT bad… I think response to email was 30 minutes for first one and then 13 hours for 2nd one (next day)… should be solved…

thank you…

Thanks, I forgot to mention that this problem is related (only) to 7-zip format. But I can’t live with it since 7-zip rocks…

Bernhard.

@awo:

Yes, the 7zip format does support this. However, it’s not possible with PowerArchiver to use this feature of the 7zip format. You’ll have to use the original 7zip program instead (http://www.7-zip.org).

no advertising of other programs on our forums please.

Yes, you can pae to hide file names, however that feature is not present in the backup as of yet.

I need to do full and differential backups and encrypt the names of the files within an archive.

How do I do that please?

I tried using powerarchiver auto backup script but don’t see an option to use .PAE files with AES.

I can encrypt the individual files but want to encrypt the whole archive.

Do I use command line? How would that be done? I would then like to use the windows task manager.

Ideally, I would like:

Backup using 7 zip Encrypt filenames within container with AES Create differential files that overwrite the old differential files

Thank you.

The german version 10.01.03 is not displaying the drag’n drop menu at all, like the version before.

With the english version I’ve the same issue as wallan37 and skypx.

Same here. I usually unpack ISO’s with Alcohol 120% so this problem is not important to me and so far I wasn’t aware of it.

The extracted files are 2048 bytes each. If the original file is smaller it gets unpacked correctly, all other files (as far as I can tell from some Textfiles) are cut after their first 2048 bytes, I’ll try on the x32 Vista version on the laptop on monday.

Just to confirm the problem on Vista x64.

you will see + next to the filename… you just wont know what encryption was used…

That’s OK; on the rare occasion that I need to do that I can use the old-fashioned way.

And thanks for the reply. A responsive forum is one thing I look for when deciding whether or not to buy a program. You guys are doing a good job.

Thanks.

I apologize for the delay in thanking you for your responses. I’ve been having some problems with my username and password on the PA forum. When I tried to reset my pw, my username was changed, and I received an activation code instead of a password. Very confusing.

@doubledoom:

Thats handy to know. I have a couple of colleagues who are waiting for the outlook addin to be updated for outlook 2007 before they buy and they were planning to get 2 licences each (one of their laptop and one for their desktop). They will only have to buy one each if I read that correctly.

yep… as long as they are only ones using it, that is correct…

Ah, good news as always…:-) Thank You a lot, I’m looking forward to it…

Obviosly not much! :D

Maybe you could help out
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2281
:D

it contains only unreadable caracters (seen with Notepad.exe), whereas the German file PASHELL_G.PLF contains readable German strings

yes I rebooted several times, tried to check/uncheck “use shell extensions” in the options of PA and selected French/English several times in the langage choice

I also tried to replace the French file with the German one to see if I could start with it and then edit the file; it didn’t work
I guess the content is copied somewhere at installation? and probably overwrites the initial English strings, as there is no PASHELL_EN.PLF file…

thank you for your help

That version seems to hold the registration. I registered it on my laptop and then tried it on my wife’s desktop. It was still registered. Thanks

@Virtual_ManPL:

For me in PowerArchiver 2007 10.00.42, context menu works for CAB files
and option Open with PowerArchiver works only for .exe files

yep… thanks for the detailed info.

masu, what exactly doesnt work?

hola spwolf…it’s working fine by using the one that i download from the link you gave.

Thanks

Hi,

You will need to contact the following:

If Vista came Pre-installed, then you would contact the system vendor. If you purchased an OEM version of Vista not with a PC then you cannot contact anyone for support. However, you can try the Microsoft Forums and Community Message Boards for User-To-User support.

If you were refering to the .dmp files created on error, try attaching them here, or emailing to me at the email in my profile, and I will see if I can help you by reading it and see what is causing problems.

Thanks, Andrew Robinson.

OS: Windows 2000 SP4 with all current updates
PA: PowerArchiver 2007 10.01
Problem:
When PowerArchiver is run with the Classic theme, the Windows “Use transition effects for windows and tooltips” (Display control panel, Effects tab) is disabled. This means that when the Taskbar is set to “auto hide”, it snaps straight up instead of ‘scrolling’ up from the bottom of the screen.
As far as I can tell, there is no valid reason for PowerArchiver to be changing this setting, much less changing it without asking.
Reverting to PA 9.64 stops this behaviour, so I am led to think this may be an issue with the new theme engine.

Steps to reproduce:
Set Taskbar to Auto Hide (R-click taskbar, Properties, check Auto Hide box)
Set transition effects to ‘Fade’ (Display control panel, Effects, Use Transition Effects for Windows and Tooltips enabled and ‘Fade’ selected from adjacent dropdown)
Note that the taskbar ‘scrolls’ up into view when the mouse is moved to the bottom of the screen
Run PowerArchiver, set skin to “Classic”
Note that the taskbar now ‘snaps’ up instead of scrolling
Quit PowerArchiver
Note that the taskbar still ‘snaps’
Open Display control panel, Effects tab
Note that the Transition Effects have now been partially disabled.

Thanks,
Phil.

haven’t seen this

thanks

@chp:

Would like to know how to set zip file a password protected?

Using PowerArchiver, under “options / Zip Encryption”
@chp:

How it will work in DOS batch file?

This would have to be using PACL - so option ‘s’ or ‘e’; see manual.txt

PAOP has its own page:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/paop/

good suggestion

Thanks!

The issue should be fixed in 10.00.41 - final 10.01.

: are they still associated? When you doubleclick on the zip file, does it open in PA?

Well, most were associated. The ZIP extension though… maintained the association with the Windows default, meaning when I double-clicked upon a .zip file in Explorer, Explorer opened the file. I could have fixed that by going directly into the registry, but I fixed it instead by clicking upon Tools, Folders Options… then selecting the File Types tab, then scrolling down to the .ZIP extension, and clicking upon the Change button.

That’s corrected now, but I noticed that many of the File Types listed there do not expose the Delete button any longer when I highlight them. If you can duplicate the problem by deleting the extensions, and confirming the problem that would be helpful to me, and possibly to you, but if can’t duplicate the problem, then there must be something goofy going on with this particular machine and I’ll have to live with it until I figure out what’s going on.

: p.s. is there an reason for not rebooting your system, server or something?

Yes, it’s a server, and rebooting doesn’t fix things and it ends up as a waste of time as the boot time takes awhile.

I took a look at what was going on with Windows Registry API (using Rohitab’s API monitor) and noticed that after changing one of the items via the Change button under the Explorer File Types tab, Explorer then re-reads the keys that were changed.

The calls work as follows…

RegCreateKeyExW, “.01\OpenWithProgids”
RegSetValueExW, “PARAR”
RegOpenKeyExW, “.01\OpenWithProgids”
RegCreateKeyExW, hKey:0x80000001, “Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.01\OpenWithList”
RegOpenKeyExW, hKey:0x80000000, “.01”
RegQueryValueExW…

There’s alot more going on but it appears that after the key gets set, it gets closed, then reopened, then requeried, and there’s a heck of alot of enumerating going on as well, but I believe it’s the fact that after the key is updated, it’s then re-queried.

I didn’t check what’s going on inside PowerArchiver, I figured you guys already know what’s up there. ;-)

Spywolf,

I fully agree with you regards punishment! One area i do not understand about UK’s legal system is why the Tax payer should feed, clothe and give someone a place to live for 20+ to life for Killing someone!

However, I wouldnt follow the american way for letting kids have guns! because were allready having that problem in manchester, birmingham and London and guns arnt even legal here! “curruption of the clases!”

YAY! it’s fixed!

thanks a lot!!!

@awo:

How can I create a self-extracting 7zip archive with a German user interface?

you cant right now, but maybe in 10.1 we will add this feature… we also have to add command line to it…

good ;)
thanks

PA, When a user clicks on the link for Forums on the top right hand side of the page then clicks on “My Account” to retrieve codes it just refreshes the current page is doesnt take them to the login page for “my account”

However, all the other links work ie Download,Skins,Plugins,Support,Buy now.

Download latest version (english only) via website or via web update and see if this issue has been fixed.

thanks,

Maybe an screenshot would help, but you have Add to submenu option which will add the option to submenu.

maybe you could put it on the wishlist.
now and then if it’s technically feasable you could try to omit the pause ;)

Under win98se, conversion from RAR-archives to 7-Zip archives resulted in empty archives of 32bytes. Normal or maximum, no difference.

Thanks. I’ll lock for you email address this evening.

Regards, Andreas

it is just translation issue (not updated…).

Thanks Terry! I guess I can work around that.

@spwolf:

works fine here?
In any case, Save target as will work fine everywhere.

Yes, well that just identifies you as an IE user :D
Yes, “save target as” works - once you know what the problem is.

Hi Guys,

Can any user write a plug-in for PA? and if so what program can they use??

Or is it down to PA to check, create, validate and upload?

Fantastic! otherwise in my own Opionion there isnt much use for a program that has great plugins but doesnt intergrate it fully.

However!, I fully empathise the sheer amount of work you have had and to create such a powerfull and different PowerArchiver! so these things sometimes pass the eye!

The good thing is the plug ins work! it hasnt caused any crash and does the job! But to those installing plugins you will need to use the windows “open with” dialog.

@Mike99:

My original email was sent to support@conexware.com and I have resent the message again thru the web support form. Thank you for your help.

updated the email… thanks!

@cjs:

I tried to compress a directory "test’ (‘c:\programs\test’) which contains some files and subdirectories. Everything worked fine, but the name of the directory (‘test’) wasn’t stored. I have only the files and subdirectories in it.

This is the default action, the directory test is treated as the ‘root’ folder
@cjs:

How can I create archives from a directory which contains the complete structure of this directory? I don’t want the complete Information (‘c:\programs\test’)!

To create an archiver with files stored as ‘test\file1’ etc activate ‘use normal relative path’ under “options/miscellaneous” then compress the folder ‘test’ - not the files in the folder.

@spwolf:

hey, we have to have something left to do for future versions, eh? :-)))).

As in “don’t try to do everything at once” :p

@heze:

The download from yesterday and today were indentical. Any incremental installation didn’t help.

But, after a complete unsinstall and a new install it works fine so far.

PS: Because I hate all the modern skins, I switched to the classic skin. But there was just one button activated (Check Out). I had to add more buttons manually. Not very fine for a default setting…

that is some bug that I cant figure out yet… it happened to me with french version, but after uninstall, it worked fine (with toolbar buttons)…

We will check it out with 10.01, definetly not intended…

Under http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/

Every “My Account Retrieve Codes” button of each page links to “http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/”

Version 10.00.36

1. While using Modern Skin:

Option -> Select Skin -> LongHorn

2. Skin changed to Classic

Now View -> “Modern Toolbar”

3. All the texts of drop down menus changed to “white”, furthermore, Option -> Select Skin -> both modern skin and classic skin are ticked

To solve: Option -> Select Skin -> click “Default Blue/Silver” again

@Grizzly:

Thanks for the fast help!

Now I saw the button. :o
I didn’t know it was this button because some parts of the text are missing in the German translation. ;)

:-)

We enlarged everything to the maximum especially for the germans….

You’re right :D I thought it was left to right… Thank you.

Ow atleast it confirms the facilty doesnt exist! I wasnt sure if you guys know of a way of doing it without extracting and re-encrypting.

@Lord:

Just a thought not an opinion - it might be better to not use the restart manager and simply request a restart at the end (like XP). Unsophisticated users may find the explorer.exe closing/restarting behavior disruptive and blame (unfairly) PA.

it is not an option, we have to use it for Vista certification… I think it will make sense for normal users who wont notice anything wrong, it is us that will…

Fair enough, now i think about it! it is a good way of keeping your licenced serials secure from prying eyes as a user has to log in and request a serial.

ow…. Hows the 2007 website coming along! i’m looking forward to seeing how it looks and feels! if its anything like your program it will be allot easier!

Maybe it looks like Microsofts Office website with the ribbon bar style look???

@Brian:

Designed by someone with a worn out dark CRT display perhaps?

I fiddled with my gamma correction and I think I get it now. It’s supposed to be a yellow cardboard folder right?

yeah, looks pretty good everywhere i checked it out… it is using vista-like colors…

@spwolf:

First uninstall PA 2007, then uninstall PA 2006 (in that order!), and then install… PA 2007…

Thanks, will do.

Thanks!

We fixed both issues for Final version.

To remove file or several files from the archive,

I suggest either:-
To remove a single file or several files from the archive
or
To remove one or more files from the archive

Screenshot OK in RC1

But text still has

You should now see a listing of the four files contained within the TUTOR1.ZIP archive file.

There are only three txt files in TUTOR1.zip
