Remembering encryption (again)
-
it is not the archive, but files inside - inside same archive, you can have both encrypted and unencrypted files… how do you decide what setting to automatically show you?
-
But the system doesn’t really remember the last setting. I have to reset EVERY encrypted archive to encryption for the system to remember.
If I had to do this only once, it would be unfortunate, but not a serious problem. But as I said, Once I add a file to an unencrypted archive it is NOT enough to reset that option of one archive. It changes that option until I have reset the option on all my encrypted archives. So if doesn’t JUST remember the last setting. If the last setting is to disabled encryption resets the option on ALL encrypted archives.

I think a set of my interrelated concerns could be solved if you had an option for a ZIPX profile as well as a ZIP profile (see the attached image)
-
Hello!
You can make your own ZIPX profile by creating a new ZIP profile with, say, Optimized(Zipx) compression which you can use. -
I have that, but it does not show up as an option in the profile window I showed up in the last image.
Indeed, by default, you now have ZIPX as a default profile . . . but it doesn’t show in the first or second of the two drop-down windows (format and profile).
Does that indicate that there is a problem with my set up somewhere?

A solution . . . connected to a phenomenon I mentioned in an earlier thread.
If I change the format from ZIP to anything else and then back to zip, THEN I can see options in the drop-down profile menu. But I have to change to some other format first . . . and then back._
-
do you have several profiles setup, or is this about default profile? Is it only in drag and drop window or everywhere where there is profile option?
i just created profile named zip encrypt and showed up in main window add screen, main window drag and drop and shell extensions?
-
Drag and drop – which is about all I do.
Also, a profile I created before you could rename name, shows up once I changed profiles and changed back. It also shows up in the FTP drop-down profile options.
Any way to get rid of this name in the profiles. I looked at the registry, but it was reluctant to tinker since it appears 4-5 keys are interlinked to define those profiles — and I was afraid I would leave one or delete the wrong one.

Use PowerArchiver’s backup tool that creates a registry copy of your configurations.
Then if you mess up PA’s registry to a point it wont work just double click on the PA Backup you made and that will recover you working config settings.
There is no risk to you OS by modding PA’s registry… Belieave me i’ve been in there allot.

Thanks.
The old profile is gone and PA seems to be chugging along just fine.
