    Question Regarding License
    S
    Hello @Mili, thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs. I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me: While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License. Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs? Thanks for your help in advance.

    PACL 9.0 Beta 2
    spwolfS
    Version: PACL 9.00 Beta 2 What’s New since version PACL 7: Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 support Latest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017. Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches. Download: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx). Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9. Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well. Thank you! @Alpha-Testers PA Team ConeXware, Inc.

    The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive
    Michael72M
    My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3 The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019] The program not extracts one self-extracting file. How to reproduce the problem Download the SFX file by link: install.exe Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located. Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive. If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter. Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides. Enter command: paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe" As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no files will be extracted. The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file. This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program. … Michael

    PAConv.bat
    BigMikeB
    Hi, I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat: 1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks 2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later 3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir 4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time. 5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

    I spent many hours trying to figure out how to use PACOMP to add about 50 Gb to a spanned 7z archive with AES256 encryption, and have yet to be successful. I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task? All I have been able to make is a set of spanned files that PA cannot open.

    Does PA (preferably the CL version) have the facility to archive files based on an age? (I want to be able to move a quantity of files out of a folder and into an archive if (and only if) they’re over 35 days old.

      @spwolf:

      Setting for saving drive letters and network shares is usually an extra option in compression applications, not an default one.

      Personally I didn’t even think of that the drive letters and network shares wasn’t saved in the path for the files when creating archives. If this will be implemented in a future version of PACL maybe it then should be with an option if it’s to be included or not during archive creation.

      @spwolf:

      I am glad that more people are now telling us how they use PACL, thats really very helpful!

      What’s the idea of using a list file if it can only have one row in it? I haven’t used list files before because I haven’t used PACL for so long time yet. However IMHO there should be possible to have more than one line of paths to the files in a list file. Otherwise you can just put the path directly in the command when running PACOMP.

      Kind Regards
      Micke

        yeah, as i said, it would be an additional option. When it comes to PACL, people use it in various ways, so always good to have options.

        As to the list issue, it is an bug, not intended behaviour!

          Hi Badders!
          Here’s a script for use with PACL 6.01. It will solve half of your problem by making it possible to have more than one row in a list file.

          I have made it very simple for me, the script assumes that you have a maximum of 10 rows in the list file. It’s very easy to add more if you need to.

          Here’s the code for the script. Copy the code and save it as PACOMP_List.vbs or whatever name you prefer.

            For what it is worth, I have only used @list with filenames (not folders) and then multiple lines works OK
            (easier as the names don’t have to be quoted when spaces are in path/name).

                  Regarding the second, and more important, issue for me, I’d be happy with an option to store the machine & share names. Options are good :D

                  I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on whether a developers “tidying up”, affecting functionality of the product, is right. If other users are reporting it as a bug then a decision has to be made, one way or the other - which is what’s happened. Unfortunately, this time, I was at the wrong end of the decision.

                  Regarding a refund? I don’t one. I think I’ve had real value for money from PACL and wish to contribute to it’s continued development. Version 6 does offer so much more (as you say) and I like the way coneXware operates. I do feel a little guilty that I didn’t test the version 6 beta as these issues would have surfaced much earlier.

                  Keep up the good work guys and here’s looking forward to 6.02. Let me know if I can help with testing etc.

                    thank you badders! Better check our future betas so there wont be any surprises ;-).

                    As i said before, we warmly welcome more advanced users for PACL to the forums, so you can tell us better how you use PACL. Without that, we are just guessing!

                    thanks.

                      Hi Badders!
                      It’s nice to hear that the script works for you. As always there’s a risk of something missing and you don’t see it until someone else is testing it.

                      Kind Regards
                      Micke

                        Certainly will. I’ll have a think and let you know.

                        (Thank you again Micke for your work on the script alternative)

                            Hi!
                            I’m working on a new script for use with PACL and during the tests of it I discovered some new information regarding the problem described in this thread.

                            @spwolf:

                            Hi guys,

                            Let me confirm this:

                            so there are 2 issues:
                            1. You want drive/share included into the path
                            2. If we have multiple share paths in list file, it will not work. Only single line works?

                            thanks!

                            I have tested this with 2 different list files
                            List file with one row (Listfile_Singlerow.txt)

                            Q:\Dokument\Amiga\*.pcx
                            
                            

                            List file with two rows (Listfile_Doublerow.txt)

                            Q:\Dokument\Amiga\*.pcx
                            R:\Cinemaware\*.adf
                            
                            

                            Running the command with single line list row

                            As you can see, the results is now successful. The problem appears when you are using the -p parameter in the command, but if you are using the -P parameter instead, multiple rows in list files works without any problem.

                            I haven’t tested this with \<machine><sharename>\ in list files but most likely it will work the same depending on if you use the -P parameter.

                            I believe we can remove issue 2 from the list, however I would like to know why it works with -P but not with -p

                            Kind Regards

                                Yes, I know that, but the error message doesn’t indicate that the parameter p is the problem.

                                Maybe this should be mentioned in the documentation of PACL that the command -p in combination with a list file could cause error messages if the list file contains more than one row.

                                    Thanks, the reason for bringing this up again was that the first test indicated that there was always error messages when using list files with multiple lines. When I found out that it worked with more than one line by using the P parameter I thought that maybe it wasn’t a bug but incorrect parameter setting.

                                    Anyway, thanks for the information. Looking forward the next update of PACL

                                      No it doesn’t - unfortunately.

                                      It doesn’t come up with the ‘*** ERROR (): DefaultDir’ message (as it does with -p) but what you do get, somehow, is duplicate files as shown above.

                                      Bug? ;)

                                        My guess is that you have the same directory and file structure in both computer shares. The files will be added to the archive with full path, but the path is the exactly the same on both computer shares.

                                        I’ll probably be able to reproduce this when using different drive letters if the path and files is the same on both drives.

                                        I have also been successful with use of the -p parameter on multiple line list files on some occasions. I need to do some more tests to see how I can recreate a successful results with the -p parameter and multiple line list files.

                                        Kind Regards

                                          The duplicate files is logic because the path is exactly the same in both rows except for the drive letter. It’s a bug because obvious nobody have tried using same path and filenames but on different machines and/or drive letters before. :)
