i wanted to keep this in peoples minds

there will be no change to dynamic interface since it makes whole app slower plus you can not do full translations properly… This is why other apps have moved to separate versions… thanks,

should be able to tell you if it is a rar sfx or not or a zip etc . but it doesn’t w**zip can on all the formats it supports.

you are right, option does not exist right now. We talked about it but did not add it, yet!

@Ninjeratu: Because extracting very large images/files (4GiB+) will take a while, 8-15 minutes is not unusual even to other disks, and both CPU and disk usage is high while it is extracting. … OK. I see now. Luckily (?) I don’t use archives of that size.

Yes Right click an archive on the desktop now: “Extract to C:\Doc…\Adm…\Des…\Fol…” is useless clutter, and could much more simply be “Extract to [filename]” where [filename] is the name of the archive sans-extension.

Well, it didn’t make it into v9.50 :(. Too bad, at only $20.00 PA is a steal for all of the formats it supports. I just don’t really ‘need’ all that support… what I need (want) is the quick access and control over SFX creation that this idea is about. Let’s hope this makes it into the next release… But in any event 2006 looks good, and it seems to run a little faster than 2004 in some large zip file tests I performed?

exactly ;)

“delete archive after converting” checkbox needed in the archive converter window

Convert… contextmenu - should also be available with SFX ZIP

personally i am not a big fan of wizards, maybe there could be also a version of Pa Backup script with normal interface and tabs like in the PA preferences menu

@pa-user: Take that to the next step and there could also be a box for “plain text” or “HTML”. …+ something like “Automatic”: depending of the type of main message… if letter is PlainText - pa’s help also becomes PlainText :rolleyes:

@pa-user: A way around this would be to show some type of status, either in the status bar, toolbar, separate window, etc. that the program is checking for updates (this gets rid of the ‘spyware’ questions) then the window or status goes away if there is no update. If an update is present then you get a second status with the prompt. In this way the checking is done, but if there is no update there is no user interaction needed. this is what we have done before. Only difference is that Update window went away if there was no update. And this was the biggest problem report we got from PA users to our mailboxes in past 7 years. :-). What we might do in the future is add an option that can be turned on to make window silent, but then again, sooo mannnyyyy optiooons everywhere…

do you mean actual thumbnails or large icons? since for creation of actual thumbnails (for example of pics or documents) PA would need to extract whole archive… Actual IE does not create thumbnails either, just uses larger icons…

I support this wish!

Drop down issue is fixed in final release :-). I am moving rest to the wishlist. thanks!
