PA 2007 : storing settings in portable files

C

Claude Renaud last edited by

Hi,

It would be interesting to register directly in an .ini file or .xml one, rather than in the windows registry or giving the ability to backup/restore PowerArchiver settings
in such a file… (for portability between different computers in a network for example or when we install a new pc from scratch …)
The ability to store settings in the registry or in a portable .ini/.xml file could be optional as we can see in some other program such as EditPadPro (available
at
http://www.editpadpro.com).
(WE could bind this topic to the “creating a U3 package” one of this forum…)

+1 I often use the backup tool and I just converted several zips to 7z. I was amazed how much better my backups were compressed. So of course I support this request and hope to see it in a future release.

I’m quite happy with that as long as it’s an option. I prefer seeing just the file name. On a similar vain, I wish the grey bar below the toolbar would shorten the path when using a system folder, so: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Stephen\Eigene Dateien\Archive.zip becomes: Eigene Dateien\Archive.zip

This is something I’ve thought about many times. I would definitely support that. Although, it would probably make the SFX stub much bigger.

I use PA as my main backup software using its PBS scripting feature. However, the UI prevents me from doing a standard “full” backup. Namely, I want to be able to archive all files in a folder, REGARDLESS of their archive attribute, then clear their archive attributes when I’m done, to indicate that they have been backed up. However, in the PBS wizard UI, as soon as I turn off the “Add only if archive attribute is set” setting (to ignore the archive attribute and backup everything), the “Clear archive attribute” check box becomes disabled. I have never understood this behavior because it prevents PA from performing a classic “full” backup. Please keep the “Clear archive attribute” available when the “Add only if archive attribute is set” option is turned off. Thank you.

@davidsplash: the repair tool only works on zip files so you have to change the exe to a zip extension before it will work… @TBGBe: 1B) Know to use ZIP Repair (on an exe file - from Actually, when you use the Open Dialogue within the repair tool, it seems as if will only allow selection of ZIP files - however you can type in the sfx filename e.g. ARCHIVE.EXE The repair tool will work and produce a " _PAfixed.zip" file.
