I hadn’t seen it before today…it’s some rogue entry that I was unable to track down using google…did get rid of it though which was the main thing…:)

yes you heard it correct pa now works on reactos

Ok, thanks, that clarifies it! Looking forward to the next final. ;) Might try the betas when I have too much time in my hands and might be useful doing some testing :)

@spwolf: install it on Vista64 in the same folder as it is on Win7. I understand now - it will not work as registration is saved in Win7 registry and Vista64 is reading its own. So if you want to save space, just install them both to the same folder and it will work fine. What i dont understand is that it does not really need installation again - in Vista64 when nag screen pops up, you just had to enter registration code and it should have worked. That’s what I thought. I’ll check again just to be sure. Step 1: Boot to Win7. Step 2: Open PA. It’s registered Step 3: Boot to Vista Step 4: Check to see if registered, if not then register it. Step 5: Boot to Win7 Step 6: Open PA. Check for registration. I’ll report back in a bit

I installed that version and it extracts ok in PowerArchiver. Still can’t extract via the context menu but that might be an admin issue.

Check with this release: http://tinyurl.com/ycbx4tr and let us know how it works… thanks!

@mwb1100: Scott Hansleman did a little run down of applications that use features of Win7 (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LightItUpListOfApplicationsThatUseNewWindows7Features.aspx) and had this to say about PA: I have no idea what he’s talking about as far as the problem that “should be fixed ASAP” (I’m not running Win7 yet). But I figured you guys should be made aware in case you’re not already (I think that Hanselman is reasonably influential - at least among developers, FWIW). nice ;-). there was an bug with progress bar display in taskbar… we managed to locate it and it is actually fixed in .29 or .30 (whatever i have the latest)

yeah, pretty sucky system it seems… i fired off an email and if it does not get fixed by monday, we will stop using it. very annoying.

no problem Doc…sometimes it’s the simplest tasks we forget how to do…I’ve done it on many occasions…:) actually you did me a favour…I didn’t have it set either and you prompted me to correct that mistake…:)

@yoniy0: Don’t know if this matters, but explorer says “copying files” rather than “moving files”, so maybe temp folder is filling up (that’s not really a concern for me, I assume that windows will know to empty it when required. Speed, however, is important). One more thing. I’m not a programmer, but if PA can skip using a temp folder while not using d&d, why not always (is there an inherit difference?)? Also, I haven’t yet updated my laptop to win7, but I was using both PA11.50 on my laptop and earlier versions on my win7RC desktop before, and in both cases I seem to remember being able to extract using d&d without using a temp folder. Might be mistaken, but I don’t think so. I even think that I checked this very issue for someone on the general forum once. If those earlier versions could do it, what has changed? it is moving the files, regardless of whatever the dialogue says (just clarifying so people dont think files are left). Windows actually is not that good with managing your temp folder. Only way for us to have d&d working from archives is via temp folder (in Vista/Win7). It has been like that for quite a while, from early PA 2009 betas, maybe even sooner than that (forgot when was Vista supported added in PA). Drag and drop is not the same action as extract files to folder, it calls specific drag and drop windows functions which can be very beneficial (for instance in this case with UAC) and maintains compatibility with other windows apps (so you can drag and drop not only to Explorer but any application that supports it).

@spwolf: not sure that windows xp supports large zips properly, i believe it was added in Vista. Here is the test release, please check it out and let us know: http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc116028.exe thanks! It FIXED the problem. Tested it with the BAK and VmWare image and both were now OK. Great…BIG thanks for the quick support….and fix :):)

When the search function is looked at could you also check the search word size limit - it seems to have been reset so that two / three letter words are no longer valid as in http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=238

Noted it. Thank you sir’s!! :)

I would say stable but you may want to wait for confirmation of that. 11.60 Final was nearly 2 weeks ago and it has been a couple of bug fix releases since then AFAIK.

A slightly similar issue is in the PowerArchiver installer which still says PowerArchiver 2007 in the version data, in multiple places, when you view the file properties of the installer. It’s a small detail, but it would be cool if that was updated. :)

Partially fixed by 11.60.25: 1. PowerArchiver still accesses the A: drive. This slows down population of the explorer view, as the A: drive is waited unnecessarily waited on. 2. The error message is now gone. Why not just go directly to the last open archive folder? Why start from Desktop and drill down, drive by drive?

Luckily I have ocd when it comes to details :).

seems like AVG fixed it?

@spwolf: it is same as terry has written above - you need to activate shell extensions by pressing context key, then you will see underlined letters. Okay, I see how this works now, I was right-clicking and then pressing the key. Is there any way in these OSs to make the underlines appear permanently? Regards DrT

I won’t. PA is gone. Please remove me from the forum.
