    • 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?
      Thank you for your support in advance!

    • 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,

      the new Windows 11 context menu is not localized in PA 21.00.13.
      While the classic context menu is localized, when it’s opened on a file on my desktop, it’s English, when it’s opened from a file on my C drive.

      @Mili Are there updated localization files available?

    • 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.

      7989017c-3cd2-4a99-a1f6-06ce62329dec-image.png

      “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:

              I just tried renaming one ZIP file to PAK and then opening it from main PA interface - it worked fine and I could do anything as with ZIP files. Even creating PAK (as ZIP format) files went fine from main PA interface.

              From shell extensions it is not supported because shell-extensions are detecting file format based on its extension - so PAK files are not natually supported because they are not originally ZIP files! You should rename them to ZIP if you want to use them from shell extensions.

              This is not a BUG because there are REAL PAK files - this is very old format by NoGate Consulting - and they are not supported, and because of this PA is not displaying “Extract” items in shell-extensions for those files.

              It is true that PAK format is very similar to old v0.9 ZIP format - it uses same compression methods as old v0.9 ZIP format, but this format is not used any more and there is no reason for supporting it.

                    I don’t know what these “bik” files are, but why not do the reverse of what ivan suggested?

                    Copy/rename the .pak file to .zip
                    Then (if it really is an old Zip format) you can open it with PA and use Find to extract all the .bik files.

                      Although it should be handy to count on that feature in PA 9.x -'cause some games still use it to pack media files even though it’s an old format, you can still use ‘PAKScape’ to Extract & Make “real” .pak files.

                      Here’s a set of links to download pages: click here

                      I hope this helps.
