PowerArchiver does not group like other windows
-
Hi, I use PowerArchiver regular, but there’s still a very annoying bug with the interface under Windows XP.
With PowerArchiver 9.5 BETA 2 The program window did align only it’s width. Not the height, so lot’s of empty space when managing all Windows to get aligned. The New PowerArchiver 9.5 beta 3 doesn’t do anything now when I use the taskbar to align all open windows. The PA window disappears to the background
Please fix this asap

Hi,
i am not sure if we can do much. This seems to be Delphi issue with Windows feature or rather Windows not supporting Delphi application. Same happens with basic “Hello world” type app created in Delphi 7.
If anyone has more info on the subject, please let us know. I remember checking this out when you first reported it.
thanks,

there is an option in windows xp just like windows 2000 and 98 to have preset defaults on window sizings. Maybe he has these set by another program.

I searched the net some more on this issue. Found this interesting info. Delphi make use of a hidden main window. Somehow Windows does recognize this behaviour. I hope the code can get rewritten so that you can actually tile PowerArchiver Windows.
Notice the behaviour got worse after PowerArchiver 9.2. Now on tile the PowerArchiver windows are only bring to front. No window size movement or size changes. -
It seems this issue still exists in PowerArchiver 11.
I have found some links with more info and tips to solve this issue:

i think only way to solve it will be once we update to newer version of delphi, hopefully for PA 2011…
