    @PowerAngel: Interesting I tried with other folders & the iso window shows up like normal but the specific folder I was trying to compress to Iso it would bring up the burning window when attempting to compress Ok What I was trying to compress was My Copy of Windows XP Professional I drug all the folders & files off the CD onto the desktop was going to compress in & keep it for back up purposes but Power PA wouldn’t do it so I started removing folders & files piece by piece to see what was cousing the burn wizard to come up & not the ISO Compression wizard in that Windows XP Professional folder I was attempting to compress is a folder named I386 Once I removed that folder the iso window poped up like its supposed to When I try to compress the 1386 folder it would bring up the Burn wizard for some odd reason Dunno why But it might make sense to others thanks on info on how to reproduce it…

    Outlook Plugin Encryption Bugs

    @kevlingo: Hello, There appears to be a couple bugs when encrypting an attachment using the Outlook plugin. The first bug can be reproduced by checking the options “Rename the ext. to ??_” and “Use AES encryption”. When attaching the file, the plugin asks for a password and sends the file. The attachment, however, is not encrypted. It can be extracted without having to provide the password. This is true with all zip options. The next one is more of an annoyance, but if you use the option “Compress & Encrypt (use PowerArchiver options)”, you are asked for the password 4 times (enter password, confirm password, enter password, confirm password). The file, however, is actually encrypted. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate RTM, PA 11.6.0.23, PAO 2.03.03. I’m open to the idea that I’m making a noob mistake, so feel free to correct me if so inclined…:D Thanks, Kevin nice!

    Poor Core Utilisation

    @Mad: Hi, I’m running PowerArchiver 2010 11.60 Beta just to try it out, but I’m finding that it is not utilising all the available cores on my i7 (Win7 x64). When compressing, it won’t seem to do more than two tasks at once (the others just get placed in the queue) and it only uses 2 of the 4 cores that are available. Any ideas why this is, do i need to change a setting somewhere? (Compressing both .zipx and .7z) it depends on what method are you using… LZMA used in 7z and Optimized ZIPX currently supports only 2 cores. New version of LZMA with proper multicore support is in alpha testing right now, as soon as it is out officially, we will add it.

    we do black list them, send report of new ones as you find them… we dont do it for every release, because what they do is steal credit cards and purchase PowerArchiver with them.

    Uninstall problem

    @NTFS: It caches MSI file only but not your source files (.cab files with “PowerArch.exe”, etc). As you can see on Veronika’s screenshot it asks for source media path, but not it’s cache. Keeping source files allows to use msi’s “repair” and “add/remove components” features. And this will help to fix problems without Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. You just can choose “repair” and it will reinstall all the files. Then you will be able to remove the software (i guess the problem occurs because your setup attempts to run some Custom Action on uninstall like “_pasetup.exe /uninstall” and it fails if “_pasetup.exe” does not exist… as i said, we tried it, it does not work. As you can see in the screenshot, it cant locate actual MSI, not our files (which are actually inside MSI and not on their own). All that is in PowerArchiver installation is an MSI file.

    @boriqua: I dont know what all of it means? [ see also [url]http://kb.iu.edu/data/aift.html ] The Operating system maintains four “attributes” for each file. PowerArchiver uses the “archive” attribute. When a file is created, this attribute is SET. When a file is changed it is also SET. When a file is backed up, it is (usually) RESET. So :- “Normal” - Performs classic backup without influencing archive attributes. All selected files are added to the backup. the attribrute is not changed. “Full” - Performs classic backup and resets archive attribute. All selected files are added to the backup. the attribute is RESET after backup. “Incremental” - Backups only files that have archive attribute set and after backup resets their archive attribute. This mode is suitable for backing up only changed files. ONLY files with attribute SET are backed up. attribute is then RESET. “Differential” - Backups only files that have archive attribute set but does not reset their archive attribute after backup. ONLY files with attribute SET are backed up, attribute is not RESET (so remains SET).

    F2 to rename?

    F2 is a shortcut for renaming archives only, not files in archives. Its availability depends if you can really rename archive or not - e.g. archive has read only attribute and archives from CD cannot be renamed.
