    • 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

      W

      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”)
      /
      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      Is there an option to preserve this data? (I haven’t found it in the program settings and I have already enabled the “save complete folder info” options in “Compression Profiles”)

    • 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?

      Thanks and regards,

    • 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 Queue does not compress file optimally with same parameters if used in Queue mode.

      Being able to save advanced option, and set a default profile and archive type for compression so I can save clicks.

      The above two are majorly affecting my efficiency with archiving stuff with PA 20.10.03.

      Can someone confirm if they are resolved with the 2022 RC1?

      Hi,

      I am evaluating PowerArchiver and find the PABE functionality extermely useful - especially to backup files to a FTP site. However, I am not able to encrypt the zip file as part of the script. I can set a password on the zip file, but this displays the contents of the archive and only prompts when extracting from archive.

      Is there a way to zip, encrypt and ftp through a script using PowerArchiver?

      Thanks,

      Amarpai

          hi,

          you can encrypt the file using zip aes encryption, it is only that the filenames are not hidden…

            Yes, I saw that feature. The problem is that file names are visible. Basically, we want to encrypt a large number of files in a directory structure so that it is not possible to even get a listing of the contents.

            I have posted this request in the “Wish list” forum as well. Any idea when this particular feature will be available?

              A quick (admittedly “dirty”) workaround is to Zip twice.

              First, combine all directory structure into a single archive.
              E.g. TAR or Zip using “store” (i.e. No compression).

              Then Zip that archive using compression, encryption options required.

              Thus the only name visible is that of the archive file.

                That’s a pretty good idea - think I will use it in the interim.

                One other question…

                What is the difference between the following:

                1. Zipping a directory and then encrypting it using menu item.
                2. Using a password while zipping.

                The reason I ask this is because in the past, I have used WinZip and I was told that if you use a password while zipping, this password can easily be hacked.

                Thanks in advance!

                  Yes, the normal ZIP password is not very secure and you can find “cracking” utilities on the internet.

                  In this discussion thread, we are using encryption to refer to the “AES encryption” options for ZIP compression (as spwolf said).

                  Note: in PowerArchiver there is also “PA encryption” - this is also as secure as AES, but cannot be invoked from PA Backup Express Lite.
