@BigMike said in Security vulnerability in UnAceV2.dll: Sure, I guess almost any product supporting ACE archives could be affected every product has different path filtering already, it was a problem showing up many times before with various different formats. Question is just what else can be found… we will be removing ace support until we can add our new dll.

Method: Optimize Strong Compression: Extreme Threads: 2 (Automatic = UNCHECKED) Add to queue: UNCHECKED Low priority: UNCHECKED I shouldn’t have to lower compression settings. PowerArchiver should adjust to the memory I have available.

@spwolf Ok, can we have a pinned topic so others know as well?

basically we had to clear some bad cache and rename the file… nothing to smart or exciting.

You cannot drag and drop folders into Archive Converter window when you start PowerArchiver with Admin rights. If you start PowerArchiver without Admin rights, you can drop and drop folders into the Archive Converter window correctly.

thanks for the suggestion, we’ve logged in an improvement to show a notice

Sounds like a nice addition, logged in

awesome! thanks for helping us find the incorrect nag screen for non adv codec pack licenses, logged in for fixing.

glad it worked out @aruzinsky please write whenever we can be of assistance.

thanks all, logged in

thank you@Mili

seems to bee fixed.

thanks @wilsonp We were able to reproduce it and it’s logged in for fixing. thanks for the help.

Thank you very much. The Setting was 3pt, which is very small. After Setting it to 9pt everything looks fine.

@Minotaur said in Preview of archive contents in Win10 explorer: Hi there. Back in PA2016, I used to be able to select a zip/rar/etc. file in Windows Explorer and I’d see the archive contents in the Windows 10 preview pane. However no version since this has had this feature. Is this a big, or something that was intentionally removed, or am I missing a setting to enable it somewhere? Thanks. It has returned with PA 2019 Preview… do you have access to it?

Yes, it was version 19.00.26

@nsd3 said in UAC elevation required whenever I start PowerArchiver 2019 toolbox: I’ve just upgraded to the Toolbox version of PowerArchiver, and following the email invitation, downloaded and installed PowerArchiver 2019.00.26. UAC elevation kicks in whenever I start the application. Anyway to prevent this happening, it’s really annoying. Uncheck all users option from the warning window and click ok… does it happen again? Do you have any other software for compression installed? Let us try to fix the root of the problem in next build. thanks!

@The_PurSpyk said in Context Menu Icons (right click in File Explorer), general comments: Hi I know this was an issue in the beta version of 2018, and it seems to be the same in 2019, the right click menu icons in File Explorer are red, the uninstall icon ion Control Panel is also red? When using the new Windows 10 theme, there is a lot of inconsistency between the different modes, in the burners, you have large colourful icons on top of the scree, in ftp mode you have very small icons, seems a bit of a mess at the moment. If you select Modern Toolbar, and have the dark theme on in Windows 10, the toolbar has a black background while the rest of the application is white, the 2018 version never had this issue. red is on purpose for beta versions being improved, but we also did some of it on purpose… in any case, we finished all the changes for next build, it looks tight IMHO. we can implement new windows dark skin for ribbon ui only for the ribbon part, not for the rest of the app as we cant skin only small part of the application while top ribbon is official windows ribbon ui and cant be skinned. You can change this option manually in under Skins> Modern Toolbar> Auto, Dark, Light. thanks!

thanks @The_PurSpyk Noticed the icon of the hidden folder/file is showing lighter but it’s still showing. Logging this in. thanks for letting us know.

@south37 said in PA2019 1. Drag and Drop. 2. Toolbar icons: @spwolf version .26 has fixed the toolbar issue and the drag-and-drop issue as well. Thanks very much. thanks for letting us know, and if you find anything else please post it again. thanks!

Thanks @spwolf , that was indeed the problem! Nothing was selected under “Font size” so I guess it just used 6 by default. Anyway, set to the desired size and all is good again!

@MDuss said in Power Archiver 20018 and Outlook 2016: Hi Spywolf. When you are in the add-ins menu from the option and you want to open the configuration from an other addin like for example “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” do you get then the windows which tells you that this add-in have no configuration settings or do you get the window from powerarchiver although you have selected for example the “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” Add-in? MfG MDuss In the future update, we will remove separate add-in menu in options, so you will be able to configure it via toolbar only, as Microsoft wants. That way there is no confusion. Let us know if you notice anything else, thank you!

Working fine… It’s solved, thanks!

@jra85 said in PA 2019: Small Folder Tree Icons on High-DPI Screens: Hi, I’m using PowerArchiver 2019 on a 27" 4k display scaled at 200% in Windows 10, and there’s a minor issue where the icons in the folder tree are small: https://imgur.com/a/G29i1HZ The icons in the archive content view appear to be fine. we can certainly scale treeview icons better… thanks for the report.

@Luxor said in PA Virtual Drive update???: @spwolf said in PA Virtual Drive update???: @Luxor said in PA Virtual Drive update???: It has returned in 19. how annoying! Things look normal in 24. yeah, i updated it again last night on the server side

@razor19 said in PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe: I have done additional testing and have confirmed my crashes are 100% caused by PowerArchiver. I did a fresh clean install of Windows 10 and this time did NOT install PowerArchiver along with all my other programs. I saw no crashes for a month. So I installed PowerArchiver again and got a crash within an hour. I have since uninstalled PA again and have seen no such explorer.exe crashes since. Unfortunately, this is annoying enough to me that I will not be re-installing PA. Enough is enough. @razor19 As I mentioned above, we have taken some measures in PA 2019, so if you want to test and contribute, please let us know via support at conexware dot com and we will get you latest internal release… thank you!

Hi @Chris-Steinbeck-Bell There definitely isn’t a problem with your license, it just seems that it does not have the Advanced Codec Pack(.PA format) included. We did have a couple of earlier 2018 versions where the .PA format was unlocked while it was not supposed to and that was a bug. Upon solving the bug, it worked as intended, for PowerArchiver users who have the advanced codec pack. You may renew your license through your account at www.conexware.com/shop, which will include the .Pa format as well.

Hi Mesamit, We have replied through support, regarding the Select plan. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Thanks!

@ianac said in Error during extraction from self-extracting archive (v18.01.04 - 64bit): Apologies for replying to my own post - hope i havent broke a forum rule. It seems there might be an issue with that self-extracting file linked to in my original post because i’ve just created a temporary Win10 VM to run it in and the self-extracting file also generates zero length files too. However i still think there is an issue with PA because an updated source archive was posted a few weeks later and can be found in this link… https://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-src-3.1.5-1.exe Running that self-extracting file does not create any zero length files but when it is opened in PA they are still shown as being zero length and the same error occurs when extracting them. seems like NSIS installer latest release changed something and our extractor does not work anymore (properly)? Will check, thanks for the update.

@Nézih said in Can not open .nrg files: hstgdhdqhstdhsgqhgds Are you sure about that?

Looks like a spammer to me.

@Havokdan said in Viewing Archive Properties: @spwolf said in Viewing Archive Properties: @bigdog said in Viewing Archive Properties: It is with the modern toolbar. I guess the default as I don’t remember changing that. alt+tab to bring it out in modern… It was not alt+enter? Of course it is alt+enter, sorry about that, typing too fast

@The_PurSpyk said in Adverts in PowerArchiver: It was very quick and my program is registered, just thought it was odd. I could not replicate it. let us know if it happens again, it was likely a nag screen, not sure why would it happen though? Not planned in any case. Thanks!

there will be changes for sure in PA 2019… not started yet on cloud functionality but will keep you updated. Thanks

Please add support for ownCloud / Nextcloud, thanks.

I’m also Interest in such an setting. I hope you guys from ConeXware can provide such an Feature in an Future update.

This doesn’t seem to be working in 18.01.04 anymore? I just opened a zip file and the folder tree was collapsed again. Just to be clear, archive opens up in “Archive Mode”, I’m using “Explorer View”. I’d expect to get the result on the right side, but actually I see the tree collapsed as on the left side: I think it worked fine in 18.01.03

great, thanks for letting us know… Yeah, there is no auto update for portable obviously.

@spwolf You are correct. They’re clearly not like your average text file.

Forgot to mention that, the issue was with shell extension. Thank you.

@spwolf It’s not pretty on your side to implement - and it’s not pretty on my side to work with, if I don’t know how the string will finally look in the application. I can’t imagine a good and easy way to keep track of the handled strings. I mean I don’t know if all of them are still used in the application and where they are used. So basically I would need to report all strings if I find one in the application (wrong for sure) and everytime I find one in the translation (maybe wrong, maybe already handled - which can only be checked by you). And not only me, but also any other translator and user. But on the other hand, changing it in my translation file will only change the German translation of PowerArchiver, changes done by you will correct all localized versions. It will be pretty easy to keep track of the changed strings, if I make them in the localization, as they appear in the category “Problems/Warning”, in case I replace %APPNAME% by PowerArchiver. That would be easy for me, but doesn’t help for other translations, until you look into the translation files and adapt the other translations (or ask the translators to do so). Your decision…

Hi, I’ve just noticed, that the localization of the shell extension doesn’t work in PowerArchiver. My OS is Windows 10 x64 1803. If I right click in the standard explorer the PowerArchiver shell extension is localized. If I right click in the file listing insider PowerArchiver, the shell extension is English.

@guido said in Language Issues (Dutch): ehh. I dont know. Let me check. I sent 10/5 version again… should be the latest one.

@spwolf said in Dark skin, button not transparent.: i wonder how this came to be Gremlins probably.

Hi. Do you have some news my traduction problems ?

That’s better.

no sorry. Did a reinstall.

@BigMike said in [BUG] UAC support broken in PowerArchiver 2018: Now I get error messages as expected. thanks for your help Michael!

@bigdog encrypt filenames should work fine in 18.01.03 now… please check it out, thanks!

Seems to work fine in PA 18.01.03 - thank you again

@spwolf said in No Move with Compress with Options: @bigdog said in No Move with Compress with Options: Just curious why disabled with 7z format but not others? Basically the process is the same no matter the format. Copy files into the new archive, verify validity, and then delete (wipe) the original files. we have better access with other engines than with 7z/pa… Interesting… well hopefully that can be resolved at some point. Thanks

@bigdog said in Options to Save Password: I found a new bug today when it is asking to save the password for encrypted archives. You can either hit Yes to save it or No to not only NOT save it but Never to ask again about saving it. The other option cancel should work where like it does on other apps. It cancels that current prompt but it may ask again later. Instead what cancel does it cancel the whole archiving process. Thanks for letting us know, we will check it out for next build.

@guido said in Switching restarts PA: when pressing one of these buttons, makes PA close and reopen again with the selected section yes, they require different interface when you have ribbon toolbar.

@Mili Hi there. I was using the latest drivers anyway, but did what your suggested and redownloaded them. No change. Right-clicking Unmount did not work but working in PA’s burner section, the unmount did. Cheers DrT PS Worse issues in new install of Win 7 x64 as mentioned above.

Using PA 18.00.58 (07/2018) 64-bit I have a .7z archive with all files encrypted. When I select 1 file to delete from the archive, PA deletes all files from the archive and gives an error pop-up window that the archive is no longer a valid file. I’ve submitted a ticket for this, but was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Hello, Please contact us via https://www.powerarchiver.com/support/ and we can help you out. Since we will likely need registry data, it is not for public forums… thank you!

we made sure it’s logged in for fixing, thanks for letting us know @guido

@Big_Boss said in hang when using the Test function with 7z archives: I seem to have found a bug :o I’ve tested with several different files, and PowerArchiver always hangs indefinitely when the Test function is used with a 7zip type archive (at least files created with this version of PowerArchiver, I did not have files created with other software to test with). It just does not work, and the process needs to be manually terminated. With other types of archive like zip the Test function does work properly, the problem is only with 7z files. Windows 8.1 64-bit, latest PowerArchiver version in x64 Thanks for the report, @Mili will write it up

@TheAndyMac said in Details List not displaying properly on Hi-DPI display: The Details list of an archive is not displaying correctly on my Hi-DPI display (version 18.00.57). The others (including List and Small Icon) are working fine. The line spacing on the Details list is too small. What is the dpi setting there? Thanks.

@James-Simms we are working on separate tool for SFX, that enables our new format and all the features associated with it (superior compression, security). It is going to take a bit more but it is being worked on. Thanks!

@brian-gregory Brian, “In a shop”? How quaint . It is difficult to buy a regular-sized mouse without them these days. Just look on Amazon. It also irks me when there is a functionality in windows that I use, that many programs implement and a few do not . IMHO, not an unreasonable request.

@luxor said in Slow drawing of main window.: @spwolf said in Slow drawing of main window.: I will check if we can improve this. I dont think it was any different in previous builds. In previous builds I’ve never seen the scroll bar out of position like it is in this build. If it did occur it was obviously too fast for my old eyes to pick up on it. might depend on number of files in the folder, but i went back to .37 and if folders bar + skins + hdd browse is on, scroll bar of the folders bar will be seen changing size at startup. I wrote it in… thanks!

The Malaware program I decided to test is vacating my pc as I type

@spwolf That explains it then. Thanks for checking. have a great weekend DrT

thanks @drteeth ! We were able to reproduce and are logging it in for fixing

Wrong version on Glary Utilities software update check, even if i have newer version installed. i have to install version from website not inbuilt powerarchiver update check to get rid of mglary utilites notifcation of powerarchiver update

Thanks very much @lbren We have noted all of your suggestions and have logged them in for the dev team to see once they start working on it.

@drteeth said in PA 18.00.53 tab opening: Hi spwolf, No worries about the late reply. As for your problem with many tabs, just have a “close all” option. What about my request to be able to use a mouse’s forward and back buttins to navigate the archive? I always press my back button first by instinct and only then realise that I have to use the cursor and my left mouse button. I look forward to the tab enhancements. Cheers DrTeeth opened up a new thread about that: https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/5984/move-back-and-forth-via-prev-next-buttons-in-archive-folders

@bigmike said in Tabs, empty windows and extra closing.: @spwolf said in Tabs, empty windows and extra closing.: But good idea about something there if user is not using/browsing hdd? Maybe MRU archives? Or output from favorite archives window? @Alpha-Testers - i know @Brian-Gregory is using classic with folders, maybe he can give some input? How will this work with your proposal here? 1st tab on opening with no arguments: Files and folders/folder pane shows “My PC” 1st tab on opening with archive: Archive content/folder pane shows archive folder structure opening an archive will open a new tab, folder pane shows archive folder structure opening a new tab by (+) will show MRU list/Favorites? On the first guess, I would vote for “Favorites” to fill the empty pane Probably, that will make it pretty confusing for the standard user… But the pane should never be empty. That is confusing, too. Maybe restricting browsing “My PC” to explorer mode and using folder pane in archive mode consequently for Favorites/MRU and for archive folder structures, in case an archive is open, is smarter. both folder panel and browsing hdd in archive mode are optional features, default is that there is no folder panel and there is no hdd browsing in archive mode. So i dont think it will be too crazy for pro users… and it is useful for sure.

This sounds really good

@brian-gregory said in Alt+Enter in Modern Toolbar?: What is ALT-Enter supposed to do? It always used to be full screen toggle in the old days which is now F11. properties window… before it did not work in modern, also shortcuts were quite random.

Select Folder display Style could be corrected too

text is cut off

@bigmike said in Sorting broken in all views but details view: I can confirm, that this problem is fixed here in 18.00.56. Thank you. thanks for reporting it!

thanks @guido added this one to an existing issue logged in regarding cutoff frames.

@darthpingoo said in Pressing tools buttons restarts app: @spwolf Are you planning to implements Ribbon in FTP/Backup/Burner tools too? We cant do it in main PA GUI, since we cant hide individual ribbon ui components, this is technology limitation of Microsoft Ribbon UI SDK that we use for ribbon. So people who bought Standard and Professional licenses, and also our Enterprise users that hide those from their own users (most of our Enterprise users limit this functionality as security measure), would have Backup, Burner and FTP always there which would be very annoying for them. edit: if you thought it pabackup.exe, paburner.exe, etc, yeah, it is possible to do it there in the future. We have to have both options since Ribbon UI is only available from Windows Vista & 7, so our Windows XP users still need to have classic interface option.

Turns out it’s applies to all buttons except for “Passive”

@mallet Same here maller!

makes sense, logged in. thanks @guido

See image

Great! Thanks for your understanding. Cheers DrT

The Most Important of them is the Windows Explorer delay that shell extension causes.

How did you extract? I was able to open the file via PowerArchiver, click on Extract, picked a folder and it extracted there fine. Using version 18.00.53

The favorites dialog will now save column settings in version 18.00.50 https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2018/powarc180050.exe Thanks @BigMike

the Icons will now show up as Original when clicking on the Backup Tab while using Original icons. https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2018/powarc180050.exe Tooltips fix coming up. Thanks @BigMike

I assumed (maybe incorrectly?) that those hash values were being calculated in real time when opening (or verifying) the archive. If that was the case it should not matter if that is not the standard from the days of old as the program is just displaying additional data. Thanks

here is small tutorial

Thanks, I appreciate that

@bigmike we will check it out, thank you.

@aluminumhaste re-download and try again please… it has admin requirement removed from the “installer”… so lets see how it works on your computer now.
