    • Do not include the extension in the file name of the compressed file

      Mario Lopez

      Hello everyone

      I hope that despite my poor control of English, you can understand me.

      When compressing a file, by default the extension is included as part of the file name. for example, if the file is name.pdf, the compressed file will be name_pdf.zip.

      Is there any way for the extensions not to be included in the compressed file name? As much as I have searched I don’t see such an option.

      Thanks for your time

    • Issues converting a folder of .zip files to .lhz files

      O

      Hi,

      I’m using Convert Archives on a local folder of .zip files, converting them to .lzh files, and I’m finding that perhaps 1 in 75 files is actually converting and outputting a file. Even then, the .lzh file is incomplete, missing most of the source files.

      The progress bars completes OK, say 75/75 files, but only one .lzh file exists in the output folder.

      It seems to be the same with different source and output folders on both local and USB disk - I can’t see a pattern.

      The files extract and compress (to .lzh) without issue on their own.

      Is there a log file I can check please, to see why PA does not like these files as part of the batch conversion?

      Thanks very much, Rich.

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.

      I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

    • Can't create PA files

      Hi -

      I have powerarchiver licenses for powerarchiver standard and toolbox (and also as a result for pro).

      I can successfully register powerarchiver with my pro/toolbox codes, and it unlocks the majority of the content/features. However if I try and create a .pa style archive I get the registration popup saying I need PowerArchiver Pro (if I go to help/about I can verify I have the relevant version and it’s registered to me).

    • Better handling for protected archives

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I’d like to propose an improvement for password protected archives.

      Actual behavior is:
      If I open an archive, which is password protected and make a typo in the password dialog, I’ll get the message, that the password was wrong and I end up with an empty window. I need to reopen the archive to be able to enter the password again.

      Improved behavior:
      Tell me, that the password was wrong and give me the chance to enter the correct password to decrypt the archive.

    • ZIPX: Add support for packing JPEG with specialized algorithm

      A

      Hello!
      I know I have been asking for this feature some time ago, but as nothing has changed let me ask again:
      The ZIPX-format offers an algorithm, that compresses JPEG-files by about 20-30%. Please add compression (packing) support for this in ZIPX-archives to Powerarchiver. Extraction of JPEGs packed into ZIPX by this algorithm is already supported by Powerarchiver for a long time, so it should not be difficult? Or is it a licensing problem?
      Thanks!

    • Better archive type handling with drag & drop

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I’d like to suggest, that the correct archive type is (always) selected, when adding files by drag & drop to an archive.

      This is already happening if the archive has the correct extension. For example, if I’m adding files to test.zip, zip will be selected. If I’m adding files to test.7z, 7z will be selected as format in “Add dialog”.

      But this won’t be working, if the archive has not the “right” extension.
      So XPI files (Firefox addons) for example are ZIP files. PowerArchiver opens them without any problems, but if I try to add file by drag & drop, PowerArchiver won’t auto select “ZIP”, but use the last selected archive format, while PowerArchiver already knows, that I’m trying to add files to a ZIP.

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      Hi I recently bought PowerArchiver and found some bugs and issues that I hit testing some of the features out.

      If you are doing a backup and on the compression options screen its default is compression format is PA with no option to change disk spanning. If you change to 7-zip you can change disk spanning. If you change the disk spanning then move back to PA format the field for disk spanning disables but the option stays set to what you changed it to. When you do a backup it will use PA with files spanning but PowerArchiver says that its not a valid format when you open it. If PA can’t really do file spanning then this screen is allowing it.

      I have attached an image where the progress bar is in the middle of the CD/DVD/BD Tools screen.

      alt text

      I have a 7-Zip file I created using the backup tools doing an increment backup. It opens and extracts just fine but if you using the Test option PowerArchiver locks up. Link to file: Backup-2021-02-05-20-35-36 TEST LOCKUP.7z

      On any Zip/PA/7-Zip process the pause and cancel buttons do not work. You have to hard kill the entire application to get out.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      I have configured PA as exclusion as followed:

      and also is set us trusted application

      PA Trusted Application.png

      Scenario:

      My Antivirus likes to scan for everything, and it’s safeguarding behavior is to prevent the access to the file until the file is properly scanned for.

      The issue:

      PA when losses the access to file, it is stuck, consumes Resources, and never completes the process or throws any error

      Recommendation:
      PAStarter should also work as PAMonitor:
      There should be a monitoring process, at least if I’m using queuing feature, that should check for never ending compression processes and terminate them so the queue can be little bit automated.

      Also,
      There should be multiple attempts at retrying if PA loses access to or is denied, instead of having to see process was stuck for longer duration.

      Or, better, save the parameters I used for keeping the files in compression, and automatically restart the whole compression process after termination the same, of same folders and files set, this should happen in case if compression was stuck.

      F

      I have a pae2 file that has multiple text files in it. When I open the file, I can double click one of the files and I can view it in a powerarchiver tab.

      If you close that tab and attempt to open any other file in the archive, it will no longer open or extract. Only option after closing the tab is to close powerarchiver and reopen the file. If you don’t close the view tab, you can open other files as multiple tabs as long as you don’t close any of the viewer tabs. As soon as you close one tab, you no longer can view or extract any file.

    • Problems with Color-scheme after upgrade to build 73

      This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?

      @brian-gregory

      Hi Brian, Yeah, if you uses only a file is ok.

      The problem is with batch or bulk compressions. If you select several files and want to compress each one separately into its own compressed file.

      I think I have explained myself better now

      Hi @bassplayerchris
      The PA format is not an included upgrade to PowerArchiver licenses that were purchased before the PA format existed. PowerArchiver with Advanced Codec Pack (.PA format) is the version that includes the PA format.
      All other features/options that were included with PowerArchiver before before the Advanced Codec Pack are updated accordingly and will remain as upgrades for you for all upcoming major and minor upgrades.

      Hope that helps.
      Thanks!

      @mili Hi, thank you for the answer.

      Actually, yes - also for zip files, this could be improved, by giving the possibility to reenter the password in the “wrong password dialog”. But at least, I’m asked again.

      But it’s worse with 7z (which was the format of my archive):

      I played a bit around with the options:

      If encryption of file names is enabled for the archive, PowerArchiver will behave as described above; e.g. after double clicking the 7z archive and entering a wrong password, I get an error, that the password was wrong and afterwards PowerArchiver doesn’t give me a chance to retry, but opens without the archive. If encryption of file names is disabled, the behavior won’t be correct either: I open the archive and after trying to open a file in the archive, I’m queried to enter the password. After entering a wrong password, I’ll get a PowerArchiver error, that the respective file from the archive could not be created - possible reasons: File in use, disk full or no write access… Clicking “Yes” in this dialog will lead to the correct “Wrong password” error. I’m not asked to reenter the password

      As I often also use RAR archives, I’ve also tested there:

      With file name encryption enabled, I get a misleading error, that I should open the first volume of the archive instead of “wrong password”; afterwards the PowerArchiver window opens without giving me the chance to reenter the password or that the password was wrong. With file name encryption disabled, after trying to open a file from the archive, I get the wrong password error. I’m not asked again.

      It’s needless to say, that I would expect, that PowerArchiver would handle this the same for all archive types.

      Hi,

      I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

      I would be perfectly happy, if PowerArchiver offered me a portable solution with FULL (i.e. also compression and not only decompression) support of all methods offered by ZIPX.
      Once again: as unpacking is already implemented for all ZIPX-methods it should be possible to also add packing?! Or is it really a licensing (WinZIP patents) or marketing (further pushing PA-format) issue?
      While I think it’s good to develop and push an own technologically advanced format like PA, there is also a need for compatibility, interoperability and exchange with others (using other software) . And ZIPX is currently more common because of the great old name and the wiedspread use of its originating software, WinZIP.

      thanks for the details @godlydevils

      We are in the process of working on a major upgrade to Encryption Suite PRO.
      Among some new features, it will have a new UI as well.
      We have the very first versions in at the moment, I was able to reproduce the AV error as well and that has been logged in for fixing.

      Once there is a usable version of ES PRO 2022 for checking out, I will send it over to you to check out. Sorting out current bugs and working on UI at the moment.

      Thanks!

      I’m using the Kaspersky Total Security.

      I have configured PA as exclusion as followed:

      PA Exclusion.png

      and also is set us trusted application

      PA Trusted Application.png

      Scenario:

      My Antivirus likes to scan for everything, and it’s safeguarding behavior is to prevent the access to the file until the file is properly scanned for.

      The issue:

      PA when losses the access to file, it is stuck, consumes Resources, and never completes the process or throws any error

      Recommendation:
      PAStarter should also work as PAMonitor:
      There should be a monitoring process, at least if I’m using queuing feature, that should check for never ending compression processes and terminate them so the queue can be little bit automated.

      Also,
      There should be multiple attempts at retrying if PA loses access to or is denied, instead of having to see process was stuck for longer duration.

      Or, better, save the parameters I used for keeping the files in compression, and automatically restart the whole compression process after termination the same, of same folders and files set, this should happen in case if compression was stuck.

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      Here’s explaination:

      https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink

      I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.

      It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.

      Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

      I have a pae2 file that has multiple text files in it. When I open the file, I can double click one of the files and I can view it in a powerarchiver tab.

      If you close that tab and attempt to open any other file in the archive, it will no longer open or extract. Only option after closing the tab is to close powerarchiver and reopen the file. If you don’t close the view tab, you can open other files as multiple tabs as long as you don’t close any of the viewer tabs. As soon as you close one tab, you no longer can view or extract any file.

      Edit: didn’t realize this was the forum for PA format bugs until after I posted. If this can be moved to general bugs that would be great (unless the bug affect PA format viewing as well)

      Just to make it clear, @U1zy3o2ih5ebk2F is someone else and you replied to him (last post from that user years ago. Most probably deleted account due to frustration…). I 'll help again by providing what’s required. I just don’t get why I got NO feedback from them since December and why they don’t ask for help since they need it as you mentioned. I don’t charge for it neither I asked for a free license.

      Will send required info later. Btw I am on HP Windows10. Seen it also on Asus win10 and my company desktops when they had it installed

      The problem has come back or was never fixed. I cannot uninstall PA 2015 due to the same “The specified account already exists” which stops the uninstall process. Here’s the screenshot: . Since PA2015 can’t be uninstalled, it creates other issues with PA2016 such as windows explorer crashes when right-clicking. FYI - using the MSI cleaner tool didn’t help the problem.

      The solution was to download the Microsoft install cleaner which you can do HERE. This tool will work on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Remember that you MUST run this as an Administrator.

      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.

      Good morning,
      I bought Powerarchiver Toolbox because I find the .pa format brilliant!
      The problem with this format is that only Powerarchiver can open it, so it won’t be as famous as the .rar or .7z!
      In my opinion it is okay to have the exclusive of the creation of the format, but not of the extraction, otherwise it will never be used by anyone because few people have Powerarchiver!
      I hope that one day the other extractors will be able to extract the .pa format, I will be able to create archives and send them to whoever I want!

      Hi,

      So refer this screenshot:

      image_2020-12-30_115129.png

      The properties panel that you see, is what I tried to compress, using PA, with following settigs:
      Extreme Strong optimize
      https://forums.powerarchiver.com/assets/uploads/files/1609079025475-image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      The process was stuck at 0% with no progress for over 8 Hours:

      PA.png

      Then the usual, clicking will make it go not responding.

      So, I could not get the files compressed using PA.

      I tried 7zip, and it worked, so that’s 1 issue.

      PA shows incorrect original(before compression) size of total contents.

      Refer the first screenshot.
      folder’s size is shown correctly in 7ZIP
      but not in powerarc.

      this happens with every archive, whether they are compressed in PA or not, whether it has only 1 file, or multiple files inside multiple directory.

      Neither does the archive property panel shows original content’s size.

      Ok, I should have done this first. I upgraded to PA 2021, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling. I did that now, and it took care of the problem. Must have been something with upgrading from the previous version too the new one.

      I resolved the issue.

      How to reproduce(it is my assumption):
      Install the older version of PA 2021 than this, the one that came before x.x.62
      run it once, then install the current version.

      PA queue & PASTARTER will get bugged.

      I got the issue resolved as I had to reinstall OS which has resolved the queue issue for me.

      this is the same reason mili was not able to replicate the issue, because she runs a fresh environment for all testing.

      Hi,

      You can obtain the original file from here:

      https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/in/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-y-series-laptops/y50-70-notebook-lenovo/80ej/59428436/cb32343883/downloads/driver-list/component?name=Power%20Management

      For Lenovo Y50-70 win 7 x64 bit, power management, get lenovo energy management

      Run the exe it will extract the installable drivers to C:\drivers

      I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
      Extreme, strong optimize.
      image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      This resulted in negative compression.

      However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:

      PA Negative compression.png

      I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

      I don’t think PAEXT has a way to do this on it’s own.

      I’d extract to a new directory and then use XCOPY or something similar to copy the newer files to the final destination and then delete the new directory you extracted to.

      Hi.

      Thank you very much for your support!

      I do have a question: if a new version of Virtual Drive gets updated, is there a stable link where i can always find the latest update for this tool?

      For now i just use trial and error and base my download from the online update check, infer the new file name from the updater if a new version is available, then modify a bookmark link i found according to the latest version, in order to fetch the offline installer for PA virtual drive. Or ask here regularly, which doesn’t seem too pleasant to do repeatedly if a new version is released.

      Thank you!

      No. No other program installation, not registry cleaning. I just noticed it while installing and opening PA during bex64 testing…
      It just comes once, I cannot reproduce it more than once at least with version 20.00.58 and +
      It’s really fine for me, it’s minor even if it’s considered a bug at all

      Hi @drteeth
      as a temporary fix, please delete PAVD2021.EXE from the installation folder and install virtual drive again, then it should work fine until we fix it so the error doesn’t appear at all.

      Hi @godlydevils
      Tested the queue issue on another test machine and it seems like i was able to reproduce it
      out of nine 1gb folders, 7 compressed and 2 didn’t, which seems like the same bug.
      It has been screen recorded and logged in for fixing.

      The issue with the Advanced Option settings not being saved is also logged in and pending fixing. It has been bumped and we will look to fix it in the upcoming update.

      Additionaly, an improvement to add the ability to pre-configure the Advanced options for the .PA format in the configuration>compression profiles menu is also logged in.

      You can expect the queue files disappearing to be fixed in the next update, as well as the advanced options not being saved.

      Thanks!

      Hi,
      I have come across some strange behaviour that must not be by design.
      This happens under different, though similar circumstances.
      This is how to reproduce it.
      Find a large-ish archive. I used a 3GB archive as I have a fast PC. Load the archive and test it. Now one just has a window showing the test progress. Now click on a window under the progress window and now you can see the bug. I have a PA icon on my taskbar and it does NOT have a line underneath it to indicate that it is loaded and there is no easy way to get the window back until it appears after the testing. Other progress windows are similar.
      The only way to get the progress window back is to use taskmanager.
      The expected behaviour is that there will be some indication that PA is loaded and that one can use it to bring the progress window to the top.
      OT:- When viewing a text file in PA, there is a line does the middle of the window - when will it be removed?
      Cheers
      DrT

      It only shows up for a split second, you have to really be paying attention. If I had to hazard a guess, the code that loads the fact that it’s a registered version isn’t loaded early enough during the application initialization phase.

      @TheAndyMac said in Fast Ring: PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.53:

      Having one issue with the RC1 - when extracting a zip file using drag and drop to a network share, it prompts for UAC - which I allow - and prompts again, and then keeps on flashing up but not extracting anything - and there is now way to close it down other than logging off/shutting down. Seems like the UAC handling is broken at present. This is not an issue with the current production version, where I use this a lot of the time.

      @Mili will take a look at this!

      Hello @Skybird
      We show that one of the support tickets was replied to with information on how to obtain your PACL registration through your account at www.conexware.com/shop as PACL uses a different registration code.
      Maybe it went to Spam?

      Regardless, we have manually created your PACL license and have sent it to your email.

      Thanks!

      Not fixed in .55.

      But I found a new issue. Just resize the windows and you will see that the monkey wrench will disappear.

      @Mili
      It was very spooky to see what was happening with this issue when I saw my months’ old post at the top of the list.
      I would like the keys to work when browsing inside archives as well as anywhere one would want to navigate folders. I was not aware that the keys worked when navigating the hard drive as I do not use PA that way.
      With kind regards and stay safe

      I think i’ve solved the problem. You have set up a user with limited options programs like powerarchiver need to be allowed certain options in windows same for Adobe. You might wnat to set up a new user with exactly the same options as the other users and see if that solves the issue

      The icons on the RHS of the title bar are very small and thin - I didn’t notice the help button there.

      In my Ribbon Interface under Options I don’t see a register button.

      PA2021-OptionsRibbon.png

      Here is the File Menu - the Windows standard was for menu options that open dialogs to end in an ellipsis, but Options does not:

      Perhaps I should say never mind… the Ribbon doesn’t appear to follow that standard in Office in any case.

      Thanks!

      Thanks @BigMike
      Logging in #1
      Spoke to the dev regarding #2 a while ago about the issue and it seems to be a bug in the component we use and nothing we can do on our end, unfortunately, until the component is updated with the fix.

      Thanks again!

      Is that the only PC you use for PowerArchiver?

      Yes.
