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 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:
In settings I won’t be able to access the SmartAI settings and the settings for the internal editor if the FTP module is disabled

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.

Bug: When I use the right button on any folder to bring up the menu and click on e.g. compress or decompress, the program still requires registration even if it is correctly registered. When working with the folder, via the running Power Archiver, everything is fine. (Windows 10 - v. 20.10.03)

Hi,
The window size is suddenly “large” Resizing the window to normal size works for the current action, but isn’t remembered The next time I’m using the shell extension, the window is large again, so it seems the size change isn’t saved
I’ve got a strange behavior with the progress window in PowerArchiver 2021 shell extension:The progress window of PowerArchiver itself has its normal size.
Is there a possibility to reset the shell extension window size?

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

I have a “USB2.0” DVD-RW drive with a blank 700MB CD-R inserted.

I’m using 20.10.02. When I try to drag files from an opened zip to a folder in Windows File Explorer, PA does nothing. It uses a CPU core and starts the clock, but no action is taken. I have to end task in task manager to get it to close.

I’ve found a bug when trying to test an encrypted, 28-volume 7-zip archive of a 18.3 GB folder containing 41,751 files. The test fails, showing errors in all files.
Here’s the folder I compressed, and the 28 resulting files:Archives
Here’s the multi-volume compressed file opened in PA, showing the total file count and the full archive size:Opened in PowerArchiver
And here’s the test results screen after I click Actions -> Test…, showing an incorrect file count and archive size (this seems to be the file size of the first volume alone):Testing results
One important detail about the test screen above is that PA opens an UAC prompt asking for privileged execution before starting the test. Is this the expected behavior? It seems PA wouldn’t need higher execution privilege since everything it’s touching is owned by my own user.
In any case, granting or denying the UAC prompt results in the exact same screen.
Now, if instead of testing the archive I tell PA to extract the contents, the operation works fine (and with no UAC prompts):Extracting
With the Properties panel for both folders, the original and the extracted one, showing the exact same file count and total size:Extract results
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi,
Currently on the 2021 20.00.55, updated, and licensed.
I have been facing this issue since 2019 version.
Queues don’t actually do anything
That I run powerarchiver starter as admin, or without admin.Then I queue some files, and most of the files take forever, to go from 1% to 2%
and let’s say if the 5th of total 10 files are stuck that should mean the other 4 should be completed, but no, the directories are just like that.
Using Queue feature makes the Powerarchiver to process and compress files, but the PA archives do no appear, neither the disk’s total used space changes.
However if I manually compress files without queuing, no matter if I run multiple compression or one by one, there’s always success.
sometimes compression is stuck at certain percentage for a 50 or 200 MB file, forever.
I want to speed up multiple compression, I find the batch compression feature useless, as I cannot configure any custom parameters or advanced option under PA archive format
So, Let me save parameters(Advanced Option) of Profiles
i) Either I should be able to customize PA Default profile, so I don’t have to select files and manually select profile, but not even single parameter can be saved
ii) Or I should be able to create a new profile and be able to set that as default.
It’s end of 2020 and I have been trying to reach Powerarchiver team to add this, but no one wants to listen or do anything.Refer case PA-FCW-TLNFM-096
I still cannot save parameters under advanced options like DDL/EXE filter to delta, or PNG PDF Filter, or set zlib to 9 or dictionary size or experimental stuff.
Soo many Revisions and versions released but I still cannot have a profile saved with whatever I want, be it existing or new profile.
Don’t you guys at Powerarchiver labs get frustrated everytime you have to configure these parameters manually?
When I stop an ongoing compression process, that is stuck or let’s say it’s not stuck but I click on cancel and then on No, it still continues compression for no reason.
If I start compression and pause, the progress bar shortly(progresses) reaches to completion, but no compression is done, and then archive is stuck forever
Just cancel itFor all my claims above I have sent ticket today with screenshots from my registered email.
if you can:
Batch archive is good idea, but if I have multiple directories inside directories, then I want first child directory to have all of it’s subdirectory compressed to that same first child directory
Example
I have a folder in D:\pics
that folder has following folder
Cats
Dogs
FishesEach of the above folder has sub folder:
Black
White
Fluffy
ColorfulI want those sub folders(black, white, colorful, fluffy) not to be compressed individually, but the cats, dogs and fishes folders to be compressed individually

Dear PowerArchiver Team!
As I unfortunately found out, there is a big bug in Powerarchiver, which causes the compression rate to drop really significantly! I wonder if no one has noticed this yet? Are you guys still actively developing?
The following error occurs! (This is already as I find a blatant error!).ERROR:
File extensions and formats are not recognized automatically! If a file name e.g. Mütze.jpg is simply “renamed” in Mütze.txt, or
Mütze.png, Mütze.mp3, Mütze.pdf etc. each time a DIFFERENT compression algorithm is performed on the SAME FILE! Remember! The file extension was only renamed, so the file extension e.g. from .jpg to .txt is only by Rename changed! Just take a .jpg or .txt or .pdf file and change the file extension, you will see see this error! No headers are read automatically! Is this really wanted?Then the perfect compression algorithm can never be found and optimized by PowerArchiver? You should investigate this dramatic error once absolutely!Greetings from your trusty Konglomat!
Please stay healthy and make PowerArchiver more powerful than ever! I am looking forward to future updates! You are still awesome! Please keep up the good work! I love PowerArchiver, really more than just about anything!And will probably buy and use it for eternity!

First off very nice product.
I am running Vista Ultimate and PA2006 build 9.64.01.
When extracting ISO files, all files extracted are capped at exactly 20kb. The file and directory structure is intact. -
did you try any other .iso file? There might be some incompatibility with specific iso file you tried?
I am not sure if there should be any reason for Vista specific issue.
thanks,

I have tried several ISO’s. MSDN Microsoft downloads, iso images from redhat etc.
All extract will same issue.
I can use another archive program and it will extract fine.
Very odd. -

I have the same problem with nrg files (nero cd images)… maybe it’s not a problem of ISO type?

As I was very surprised about this ISO format changes, I decided to reinstall an XP and the 2006 version of PA. And no problem anymore to extract the SAME iso file… I also reinstalled PA2006 on vista… Bad news: the files are again limited to 20 Kb size… VERY VERY strange

Well, it’s now november 2007 and this problem still exists. I’m even using the RC1 that came out a few days ago, and as I just updated to Vista today (thank god I dual-booted with XP/Vista), I have this problem.
All extracted files are 20Kb or 1Kb. Please fix this as it works perfectly in XP. -

Really? What’s so complex about it that it works in XP but not in Vista?? I really hope this is fixed soon as instead of buying PowerArchiver, I bought UltraISO which is great for ISO/UDF files. Maybe you could ask them for some help??

In Vista it needs UDF support, which is whole another format. So hopefully for 2008.
Please remember, PA is an compression application, which is our main feature.
thanks,

I’m very very disapointed to read this… as I’m registered client of PA from very long now…
I’m no speaking about UDF format, but very simple ISO 9600 format. As described PA is able to open and browse the ISO, but unable to extract the files under vista. It’s very pitty to see that the same version of PA is working fine under XP and not under vista. I think that this feature is not at all “a small detail to fix”, but that a lot of user want to use as few different softwares as possible. If winrar allows me to use ISO, zip and Rar files with vista, I’ll move to it… and give this advise to everybody…

Guys, Please try and understand that Windows XP and Vista are completely different OS systems.
PowerArchiver’s development team try their best to ensure each release is compatible and contains the most updated Archive list as possible.
As stated by Spwolf this is now a known issue and they are trying the best to resolve the issue for the next release.
I think what some users forget is PowerArchiver offers the ability to contact them direct via these forums, this is something Winzip, winrar, ultraiso don’t offer and if a user doesnt receive feedback asap they think nothing is being done this is not true.
It just means work is still being done and tested to ensure when complete it would not cause further issues.
also compared to other archive utilities PA offers far more updates/fixes and patches than their competitors and they actually listen to their users.

Hi Sir Richard,
please notice that this problem is reported from at least 12-05-2006 (beginning of this thread) and it’s the first time I hear that it’s a known problem. Previous answers where “iso format have changed”… 18 months, this is not really “ASAP”… I like PA, and it’s pitty for me that I have to change it…
-
Well, I hope that PA Fix it on the next major version which I am sure they will. I can understand your and other users disapointment esspecially when we are all quite loyal to the program. But like everything else sometimes a software vendor just doesnt have the features or functionality that you require specifically. That doesnt mean they never will.
I used Winzip all the time untill powerarchiver 2006 arrived since then i need nothing else. I admit i dont use ISO files allot “very rarely” so this problem doesnt effect me as much but that doesnt mean 5 weeks down the line it wont.
keep checking this thread and the new updates and hopefully soon PA will have the fix needed for you to revert back.

I can tell you what I know. I cant tell you it will be fixed tomorrow, because it wont.
If ISO support under Vista is crucial, then right now PA is not the tool for you. I can only apologize but that wont make fix come any sooner. I hope all the other features make it up for you. ISO support was always an added benefit for PA, it is not our main feature (which is why tools like WinIso and others exist).
thanks,
-
p.s. we do appreciate when people complain, because thats how we know that those features matter to them. We will tripple check ISO feature again to make sure there is nothing we can do ASAP (and before PA 2008).
-
another example of the speedy reponse we get from PA’s developers. :o)
-
so, there will be some happy users tomorrow I think
:-).
-
And here we go:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1021a10.exeThis should fix this issue. Please confirm.
thank you!

if you went back to xp and no problems with thoses iso’s but in vista you have then i suspect that its a fault of vista and a conflict with pa’s iso function. As stated before winiso is deigned to work with all types of iso standard and non standard. Pa is not at fault here it is vista and having been a developer of microsoft products i can assure you that pa proably aren’t getting enough advice from microsoft on vista to ensure they can fix all the bugs straigh away, like some other companies are. Please be patient and it will be fixed.

This versions shows great improvements! Thx very much! something curious: when you drag and drop one file, it is created in a sub-folder with subfolder same name as a file… but the extracted file seems correct ! You are on the right way !
-
are you sure that file didnt have path like that? I tested it here, seems to work fine?
thanks,

Hi, I tried diffent situations, and if my iso file contain this files:
\test1.txt
\subdir1\test2.txt
\subdir2\test3.txtafter extraction, the result will be
D:_PAxxx\test1.txt
D:\subdir1\test2.txt
D:\subdir2\test3.txtwhere xxx is a random number.
This occurs when I use the drag and drop of the files, but no problem if I use the extract command (icon), and select the same destination for selected files
Thx for your help
-
it seems to be an issue with drag and drop in classic view… thanks!
-
should be fixed, please re-download rc2 and check it out.
thanks!
-
Well done! It is fixed in ver 10.21.17
-
thanks, closing thread…
