    • PowerArchiver 2022 Final does not find external DVD-Burner

      U

      I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
      I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
      I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
      With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
      The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
      Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?

    • PowerArchivier don't save Created and Accessed timestamp

      Quando creo un archivio zip con un altro programma ad esempio Winrar se apro il file con Winrar vi sono visualizzati anche le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      Se ottimizzo quel file zip con la funzione Ottimizza archivio di PowerArchivier (o creo un nuovo archivio) il file risultate non ha più le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      C’è una opzione per preservare questi dati? (Non l’ho trovata nelle impostazioni del programma e ho già abilitato le opzioni “salva info complete cartella” presente in “Profili di compressione”)

    • Unlisted pbs files

      pirrbe

      Upgraded from 2021 to 2022. Selecting ‘backup’ no scripts are showed. Only after editing and saving an existing script (explorer) it shows up in the PA backup folder.
      So is the ‘backup’ icon to open the Backup screen only for creating ‘new’ ones. This means that you have to open ALL your old pbs files and to save them again… not user friendly.
      No way to improve this ? Thank you.

    • Access violation with scaling > 100%

      K

      Hi,

      I have a 31" 4K screen with 3840x2160 pixel, which PA is able to handle - except of a scaling other than 100%.
      When changing scaling for this screen to 125%, starting PA brings the following exception:

      Access violation at address 0000000..DF47A4 in module 'powerarc.exe'. Schreiben of address 0000...00330.

      After closing this message, PA seems to work fine.
      PA version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64bit (tested with Win 10 and after upgrade Win 11)

      Is there any chance to avoid this access violation or this message?

    • Problems with registry restrictions on PA 2021 and sending reg codes

      Hi,

      I thought, I’ll give it a try and upgrade my PA 2018 Toolbox on my production machine to PA 2021 (20.10.03)

      Sending registration codes in your order recovery doesn’t seem to work at the moment (I also checked my junk folder), online activation works Using registry to disable modules (for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\PowerArchiverInt\General\DisableBurning) doesn’t work as expected with modern ui. The module is visible, but I’ll get the trial nag, if I try to open it. It’s almost fine in classic and ribbon mode.

      “DisableClouds” and “DisableExplorer” seem not to be respected at all, while the classic UI seems to respect the setting to disable any other unused module:

    • PA Starter - CPU Overhead

      PA_Fan

      I’m running W10 Pro on an HP i-7 machine with now 32gb of RAM. The system drive is an SSD.

      In the course of sorting out some inconsistencies in a couple of my .pbs jobs, I’ve been paying close attention to the system CPU resource and power consumption of PA Starter, as shown by the various resource management tools. I’ve also been trying to identify why my system seems rather sluggish despite some extensive tuning for speed etc.

      When I have enabled Starter as a start-up programme, to use the PA Queue facility, I see that Starter consistently uses between 10-13% of CPU, with High Power consumption indicated. It runs, consuming this resource, irrespective of what may be happening with PA and any pbs script jobs.

      I can understand a need to use a good chunk of CPU when Starter is actually handling PA jobs, but it shouldn’t sit and consume this amount when it really isn’t doing anything but wait for a job to start and for which it is needed.

      Perhaps I’ve missed a way of lessening Starter’s impact, but in the meantime I’ve adjusted my set-up to running PA without it.

      Suggestions, please.

      Powerarchiver is VERY slow when working with BIN files - is this “normal”?

      Opening a BIN - 736 MB (772,697,856 bytes) can take two minutes or more (empty window with “reading folder” in status line) before the contents are displayed.
      Whereas, if the same BIN is converted to an ISO - PA displays the ISO contents in a “reasonable” time <= 30 seconds.

      Once BIN file is finally opened, press EXTRACT (toolbar button) and select destination, again PA takes minutes before extraction process even starts.

      Note: This is my first time working with BIN/CUE files so it may be that this is normal. It is just that I was expecting similar response times to working with ISO files. I have tried this with three different BIN files - all same slow working in PA.

      PC - Windows XP SP2
      Pentium 4 (3.3GHz)
      1 GB ram
      80 GB HD (50GB free)
      BIN files on seperate HD (180GB total / 30GB partition with >10 GB free).

        In windows explorer, right click on BIN file

        1. select “Extract here”.
          PA window opens and immediately closes again
          No files extracted.

        2. select “Extract To” (filename as folder)
          PA window opens and immediately closes again
          No files extracted, but destination folder is created.

          PA opens up BIN files, which means it needs to extract the file first and then show the contents. Another way could be to open CUE files, which is what CD burning tools do, but then you only see track info and not actual contents.

          This is why most people use cd emulators such as Virtual Daemon to open up and use BIN/CUE files.

            I was just curious why this takes so long compared with an ISO file or a TAR.gz or TAR.bz2 file (which also need extracting first).

            If this is a limitation of BIN “format” then OK.

            P.S. I think explorer shell should still work though.

              hi,

              smaller bin files are ok - keep in mind that with tar, you dont have unpack whole tar file, just gz archive, then you read off tar header (like iso). With bin, i think you do. Thats why most programs dont open bin files and you never open them from cd burning software either - just cue file which is track info only.

              explorer thing is an bug, we will check it out.

                So BIN files do not have a “header”/“contents” index, OK, I guess that is basically what I was asking. This is a format limitation and therefore the delay is understandable and not a problem.
                Does the same limitation apply to IMG and NRG files or do they have a “header” like ISO?
                (Just to pre-empt further “bug reports”… ).

                This is the type of information I think should be addressed in the Help file (format/archive specific limitations).
