Hi, please try .45: https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/6232/powerarchiver-2021-20-00-32-44-45 If there is a problem still, can you send your exported PA settings to support at conexware dot com? It might be some setting that is making the bug show on your end while it works here, so we need to be able to reproduce it. thanks!

@BigMike Thanks… After combing through the GNUPG docs and not finding anything I suspected they belonged to PA. What is odd is that I have not created nor imported any keys into PA yet. I would think (hope) you don’t have to manage them separately as having separate keyrings could lead to problems. Hopefully someone from PA can chime in on this?

@Mili Okay, it’s been emailed to you. Thanks for you willingness to help!

seems to be fixed

Thanks for your help @Brian-Gregory !!

logged it in for implementation, thanks @BigMike !!

thanks @2Flo logging in the bug for fixing, and will see about implementing the installation inside the PA installer.

hi @MrAngelus Thanks very much for the update. Was able to reproduce it now and am logging it in for fixing. PowerArchiver indeed does not show the files properly. Thanks again and have a great Christmas!

hey @bigdog version .59 is showing up in Patchbeam properly now, thanks!

Hi @thomas-k please send us an email to support at conexware dot com and we’ll help out. Just tested sending codes here, they arrived immediately. It might be the email spam filtering our registration email. Send us an email and we can send the registration email and/or send it to you via support. thanks!

Seems still not working with .59 on Windows 10 1909 32bit. I have no test machine on x64 - but glad to hear, it’s fixed there…

Just to report back: Fixed in 19.00.58

Just to report back: Still not working in 19.00.58

Fixed in latest build.

You’re welcome!

logged in to bring them back to the yellow icons, thanks @skypx !

Maybe there was some DNS problems in Germany or with my Network Provider. But i’ts finde now 50Mb/s.

Hi @a-borque, Good question! Yes, packmp3 was added in PA 2019 and is now fully compatible with WinZip

Hello, We have sent a reply through support regarding the .PA format availability, let us know if you did not receive it by any chance. Thanks!

thanks @Michael72 logged in

tried to reproduce this on a couple of machines and the issue did not appear in either case; can you export your settings in the config dropdown please, compress them to 7z and send them over to support at conexware dot com and will try to reproduce that way. Also, which windows theme do you have selected? Does the issue appear with this zip file only or it appears on others as well? Thanks!

@spwolf said in PA 19.00.57 crashes Firefox 69.0.1 in module pashlext64.dll | UserCallWinProcCheckWow: @2Flo unfortunately that does not help. BUT we will have a new version of dll soon, so you can check with that specifically. @2Flo we have sent you a test build via direct message in the forums. Thank you!

And they can even cause errors.

Which format files are you looking to preview? Alt+P enables and disables preview in explorer. If possible, please send us a screenshot of how it looks, we’ll do our best to assist.

Thank you :D

Thanks BigMike, I hate to say it , VM has a wide range of documentated cases like these the one’s i know of doing what i suggested helps, but not in all cases. Then your talking more time to investigate, which is when the question is raised why not do a rebuild seeing that this isnt an issue being replicated on other VM’s. But, it’s not a PowerArchiver problem as i’ve seen this across many other platforms and dll’s. Sorry i couldnt help further buddy, if you do manage to figuire it out please share we would love to hear from you again. Kind Regards, RJWaring

Actually I think deleteing the file from the archive before adding the updated version again may not be working quite right either. The resulting .pa file seems to get larger! For now I will just delete the whole .pa archive and re-create it. It’s probably quicker in many cases too.

For starters. checkmark on a different line then the buttons Wider buttons remove a lot of frames.

move the label with the text "bestandsnaam: above the textbox. Sorry, normally my arrow points to the wrongdoing. Not this time.

thanks @guido !!!

I have ESET Nod32 Anti-Virus installed. I have tried uninstalling this for a period of time but still experienced the same issue.

@spwolf I just tested it Extracted it 4 more depths inside folders (7 folders in total) than the last try, which was 3 folders in depth. Same settings The program was not executed. It seems that the fix has worked :D Thank you all for your involvement in fixing this bug!

@GiovanninettiR I assume this was simply PA format compressing pst file really well? I think we have even some special settings for PST and quite large dictionary which leads to great compression. Thanks!

i also entered a wish for PA 2020 for favorite folders to show everywhere so it will be easier to use… otherwise only D&D uses copy and that is because we wanted to use native Windows function for UAC, and every other part of extract uses direct extraction and will elevate UAC when needed. Thanks!

Hi. On the mobile version of the forums, in the options from the left side ‘Search’ appears twice. Thank you!

Thank you for the insight on this! :)

hey @bigdog are you referring to the Add option being the only option in the Action dropdown in the Add screen?

finally got it reproduced and logged in, thanks all!

The buttons in “Start” and “Werkzeuge” are fixed, but the button “Oberfläche” in the “Ansicht” toolbar is still too small in version 19.00.51 And there are also some additional glitches in the dark version which don’t appear in the bright ones:

@JoeS said in Searching for the specific Regkeys needed to default new installations in Modern Windows 10 not dark view: When I push PowerArchiver 2019.00.50 by MSI, new installations come up dark. I know that I can put the registry keys I need to control user settings in firstrun.reg, but I haven’t been able to isolate the ones that I want. Specifically, I don’t want to open up in Dark Mode. So far I have tried “MySkinDir”=“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\SKINS\Light Solitude\” Thanks It is best to wait for next build where windows ribbon will be default… we will also have a new gui tool for commonly used settings out very soon. Thanks!

@spwolf I am afraid that I will not be able to correctly understand the question, because I speak English badly. I will try to summarize my last post. I switched to using the Classic Simple (fastest) skin and now I do not have such a problem. But if I switch to the Light Solitude skin, then I begin to experience this problem. All of the above is also true for version 19.00.50. P.S. I apologize. After I gave the answer, I realized that the message was not to me. Now I understand everything.

No problem, send me the updated resource file and I’ll translate the rest :)

@moles42 said in Missing or ugly SFX-Icon: I think that pixelated icon has been around a long time if memory serves. yeah, ZIP SFX has been around forever… we were rewriting it last year but the main problem we had is that today, new SFX’s are considered in many cases as false positives. So no matter how hard we tried, we had at least >10 false positive warnings for new SFX.

@Mili Thanks a lot. I could finally have a single archiving app on my system after all those years. Keeping fingers crossed!

I’m trying running with the Indexing Service disabled on both my PCs now because it’s useless and just sticks on certain files which there is no easy way to identify. I don’t think I’m going to miss it because I already tend to use WHERE /r from the command line to find files since it usually gets results much quicker anyway.

@Mili ok got the my other email address that have toolbox version with pa support but i think that is not lifetime upgradable license because i have not found any 2019 version resend button.

thanks @guido logged in

thanks!!

The buttons are to close to the textbox. They should be in the center.

thanks @guido !!

Hi @joakim_46 We have improved the extraction and the file should now be extracted fine. Extracted fine in our tests here. Here it is: https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190048.exe Please let us know if it works Ok for you as well and thanks for reporting it.

@spwolf said in PA 19.00.47 spurious messsage when extracting particular .pa file.: @Brian-Gregory please check this release: https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190048.exe and see if it works properly… @Mili and I didnt have much time to test yet. Thanks! Seems to work fine so far. Thanks.

This is the return of a previous issue. With an archive open and the file list longer than the window display, typing the first letter of the file in the list to jump to the first entry does not work. It will work if a file name starting with that letter is visible in the list window, but not otherwise. I am using version 19.00.47 64 bit.

This happens when I log in as a Standard User without administrator rights and run the PowerArchiver as an administrator. If I log in as an admin, there is no such problem. If I log in as a non admin and run the archiver as a standard user account without administrator rights, then this problem also does not exist.

hah! those darn weird bugs :) If it happens again, please do let us know.

@Brian-Gregory said in PA 19.00.43 Queue re-enabled every Windows reboot: Hello? Are there any intelligent lifeforms out there? Maybe… Enable PA 2019 Queue starts Starter when you check it (it asks for it)… but it will not start Starter at computer restart unless you check Start… box. Reason for this is for people not have to look for starter in Program Files folder when they want to see what is it.

If the OP finds it annoying that is his business IMHO. Added to that, the mechanism for hiding it does not seem to work…a double whammie!

Thank you, now it works! The message is gone.

thanks for the updated information @Michael72 Yes, any time Extreme method is used, it is unrecognized by windows explorer extractor on xp when extracting. We’ve logged it in, let’s see what can be done.

Thanks @Michael72 gonna test this out to confirm as well and log it in. We’ll reply with further questions if needed. thanks again!

:thumbs_up:

Hi @Michael72 thanks for the details! We have confirmed both issues and both are logged in for fixing/addressing. Not sure if PA will be able to set share setting to On, but the dev team will check it out. Thanks for letting us know.

@spwolf Doesn’t make a difference when use the view option.

Should appear fine now in version .43 https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190043.exe thanks for the help @Merowinger

Thank you for sharing the information it was helpful.

@ckit fixed yesterday, thank you!

haha, nice to hear! thanks for the assist :)

Well, I don’t know. It still looks wrong to me in the new version. This is the skin “SolitudeDB”.

Should work better now in version .41, please let us know and thanks for the report https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190041.exe

@spwolf said in "The specified account already exists" error: @KoloheWiz: The latest release - PA 2016 - will not complete installation. No matter what it ends with the “The specified account already exists” error. I start the update process using the Check For Update button under Configuration>Auto Update. The new version downloads and begins to install but stops abruptly with the “The specified account already exists” error. I have a screenshot and the log file but no way to post them here. I have no URL to post the image to because I do not own any domains. IMHO, that should NOT be the only way to add an image or log file to a forum post as there are more people without a domain than ones that do. For that matter, “Insert Image” doesn’t mean the same as “Insert Image Link” which is what the button should read for accuracy purposes. This usually means something is wrong with your Windows Installer, usually setup repository got wiped out. Try cleaning PowerArchiver entry from Windows Installer database by using MSI Clean Up tool: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html That should delete PowerArchiver previous version from registry and then you should be able to install new one. As to the images - in the future, you can use imgur.com to post links to image files, They are very reliable and great image host. thanks! Awesome spwolf, was having the same https://www.stlcurioshoppe.com/v-tight-gel-review/ problem but after using windows installer cleanup and deleting Power Archiver I’ve been able to reinstall and it works great.

Hello! I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure). I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos. Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this. A.Borque

I just saw, that there would be a matching string already: pas.resourcestring.Info: Password matches the Password Policies So using this resource string would result in an already translated replacement.

Hi @ValhallaWarrior Which version of PowerArchiver are you using? Also, does it happen with all mounted ISO files or a certain one? Tested the latest 2019 version and unmounting worked, so it could be something specific. Let us know.

afraid don’t have the link as the ad keeps changing

@qrti said in Gigantic Titel bar: Version 19.00.33 If I set ‘quartz violet’ skin, PA title bars get real big, requesters also inherit these title bars. They were of normal size in the previous version. ‘Classic’ skin title bars are of common system size. we noticed it too, we working on large dpi changes. Thanks for the report.

Captions are cut off.

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.

thank you@Mili

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!
