    • Powerarchiver 2021 incorrectly extract tar.xz file

      E

      Configuration:
      Powerarchiver 2021 20.00.73
      Windows 10 Education 10.0.19042 Build 19042

      When extracting gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz , Powerarchiver wrongly thinks some .exe files have a length of zero:

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      Hi I recently bought PowerArchiver and found some bugs and issues that I hit testing some of the features out.

      If you are doing a backup and on the compression options screen its default is compression format is PA with no option to change disk spanning. If you change to 7-zip you can change disk spanning. If you change the disk spanning then move back to PA format the field for disk spanning disables but the option stays set to what you changed it to. When you do a backup it will use PA with files spanning but PowerArchiver says that its not a valid format when you open it. If PA can’t really do file spanning then this screen is allowing it.

      I have attached an image where the progress bar is in the middle of the CD/DVD/BD Tools screen.

      alt text

      I have a 7-Zip file I created using the backup tools doing an increment backup. It opens and extracts just fine but if you using the Test option PowerArchiver locks up. Link to file: Backup-2021-02-05-20-35-36 TEST LOCKUP.7z

      On any Zip/PA/7-Zip process the pause and cancel buttons do not work. You have to hard kill the entire application to get out.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

      Hi,

      After the batch archiving is complete, and if I click on whitespace of the PA app, I get this error.

      I did check for ongoing process and ensured no archives were corrupt, It seems like activity did complete successfully but the error is shown for no reason, and only after clicking the whitespace.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      G

      I’m using the Kaspersky Total Security.

      I have configured PA as exclusion as followed:

      PA Exclusion.png

      and also is set us trusted application

      PA Trusted Application.png

      Scenario:

      My Antivirus likes to scan for everything, and it’s safeguarding behavior is to prevent the access to the file until the file is properly scanned for.

      The issue:

      PA when losses the access to file, it is stuck, consumes Resources, and never completes the process or throws any error

      Recommendation:
      PAStarter should also work as PAMonitor:
      There should be a monitoring process, at least if I’m using queuing feature, that should check for never ending compression processes and terminate them so the queue can be little bit automated.

      Also,
      There should be multiple attempts at retrying if PA loses access to or is denied, instead of having to see process was stuck for longer duration.

      Or, better, save the parameters I used for keeping the files in compression, and automatically restart the whole compression process after termination the same, of same folders and files set, this should happen in case if compression was stuck.

      Tech Support
    • Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively

      G

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      Here’s explaination:

      https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink

      I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.

      It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.

      Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

    • Problems with Color-scheme after upgrade to build 73

      A

      Hello!
      I am using the portable version of PA2021. After switching from build 58 to 73 I have problems with the color-scheme:
      While 58 behaves like expected and showed everything in light or dark colors according to the settings, 73 always shows the lower part of the window in dark colors, no matter whether I select automatic, light or dark.
      This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?
      Thanks for help!

    • PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe

      U

      I’ve been dealing with an intermittent explorer.exe crash for 5-6 years now. It happens randomly and will usually occur multiple times within a single session of an hour or two on my machine when manipulating files through Windows Explorer. explorer.exe is the only thing that ever crashes, so it’s not hardware IMO. I’ve done all hardware diagnostics and RAM is good. I’ve even swapped out motherboards with different brand and even the exact same one and it still crashes. sfc /scannow indicates system files are fine. I’ve done multiple reinstalls of the OS with no positive results. This crashing has happened on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. It seemed to get more frequent with Windows 10 after upgrading last year. I’ve also been using PowerArchiver throughout that time period (upgrading over time with new releases). I recently disabled all non-Microsoft extensions via ShellExView and saw no crashes for about 10 days, which is really unusual. I turned back them all back on after 10 days and saw another explorer.exe crash within the hour. So I disabled all 32-bit extensions and saw another crash. Following that I disabled all the PowerArchiver shell extensions and haven’t seen a crash after a day of heavy usage manipulating files within Windows Explorer, which doesn’t happen for me. The crash dumps I’ve captured don’t seem to indicate PowerArchiver is involved but I have a hunch it has something do with PowerArchiver shell extensions. The system even feels smoother with the PA extensions disabled. Windows 10 reliability monitor always has the same type of problem:

      Description Faulting Application Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 10.0.17134.165 Application Timestamp: 4031a9f8 Fault Module Name: StackHash_e78e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: PCH_8D_FROM_ntdll+0x000000000009AA54 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 10.0.17134.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: e78e Additional Information 2: e78e327659b46c9a0c6916396b253cbf Additional Information 3: cebf Additional Information 4: cebf952c5db535ae7880488aafce55d9 Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 1a57e4e784fbc735c231c68bd88581a9 (1311047270476906921)

      I know this is a very nebulous explanation but is there any way to link this up to PA shell extensions as the cause? I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

      Using PA version 9.64

      I have one directory with about 98 zip files. All zip files pass PA archive test and can be uncompressed without error. The problem is if I uncompress to same directory, delete the original zip file, PA will not re-compress the file I just uncompressed. If I right-click on the file and select to compress to .zip, it just pops up the compression window for like a split second, then goes away without a zip file being created. Here’s where is gets weird: I can compress them using 7zip back to zips, use PA to uncompress, and then PA will compress those. I played around with a few other directories on my disk and it appears to be isolated to this one particular directory. If I duplicate the contents to another dir, they experience the same problem. Does anyone know WTH would cause this? Seems like something is out of wack with these particular files, but I would think they would fail the test if something was wrong with them.

        Check permissions for those files in properties tab and see if that helps.

I played around with a few other directories on my disk and it appears to be isolated to this one particular directory. If I duplicate the contents to another dir, they experience the same problem.

          What type of files are these? What is your operating system and language configuration? Are you running an antivirus program? If so, what brand and version?

          If you are running Windows XP, can you compress the files using right-click, Send To –> Compressed (zipped) Folder?

          Also, if it is possible for you to divulge, what is the full path to the files you are attempting to compress with PA? Are the path names using any strange encoding?

            I’m running XP Pro sp2 fully updated and Kaspersky 6 as my AV. If I right-click and try to compress to zip, it just pops up a progress window for split second and nothing is created. No luck making a zip file from the “New” option in the context menu, either. If I drag the files inside the archive, nothing is there when I check its contents. The directory is just a run of the mill c:\zipfiles so nothing odd there.

              what about creating an new txt file in the same folder?

                Anything new I put into the dir behaves fine. I went ahead and unzipped all the files and re-zipped using 7-Zip so they’re all working fine now. PA is able to unzip and rezip them now. There had too be something out of wack with the files themselves, but it doesn’t make sense that 7-zip had no problem with them and PA did. I doubt its related, but I had an issue a few months ago where I couldn’t drag files from any directory into a PA zip file. They would just overlap the icon. That was fixed by re-installing PA, but that didn’t work for this problem.

                  I’m running XP Pro sp2 fully updated and Kaspersky 6 as my AV. If I right-click and try to compress to zip, it just pops up a progress window for split second and nothing is created…

                  Try these and see what happens:
                  1. Disable Kaspersky AV and attempt the zip.
                  2. If using a third-party (non-xp) personal firewall, re-enable the XP firewall and disable the third-party firewall. Again attempt the zip
                  3. Attempt the zip by first launching PA then dragging the file onto the PA interface.
                  4. Launch Control Panel –> Administrative Tools --> Event Viewer and check the Application, Security, System, and (if you have one) Antivirus events to see if you get any interesting errors.

                  spwolf: Might it be a good idea to add a logging option (off by default) to PA? ;)

                    Hmmm… maybe your system needs a good scandisk?

                      seems to be as if it was permissions/ownership problem. PA’s zip engine respects those, while 7zip’s dont (including 7zip in PA itself).

                      As long as it works, great!

                        I checked the permissions on the files and they’re set just like normal archives that anyone has access to. Shouldn’t PA pop up some sort of error message about permissions?

                        I did run a checkdisk, btw. All is good and nothing in my error logs.

                          you checked ownership of the files? Not system/read only, etc, which are the attributes…

                            If this happens again, see if something has the file opened, which I think might prevent PA from being able to re-compress it. You can use “OpenedFilesView” from NirSoft to check for this:

                              Ownership was set to full control for admin as well as my user account.

                                One thought I had, was that there may have been a possibility that the attributes of those files somehow got set to SYSTEM and PA was not configured to include system files in its archive. Since I am now using PA 2007 Beta, I cannot confirm.

                                However, if you still have one of those files that PA could not compress, you can open a command window, cd to the directory containing the file, and type attrib. If the you see an “S” to the left of the file, it means it’s a system file. If so, check your PA default preferences to see if including system files is disable, then enable it and try again.

                                That’s the last possibility I can think of.

                                  I don’t have them now to test that but I do remember the attribute as “A” listed in explorer.

                                  Is PA20007 stable enough to use as primary archiver? Where can I get th latest beta?

                                    I find PA 2007 very stable; however, mine is a rather simple English language setup - no fancy theming or whatnot. If you have any weirdness going on, YMMV.

                                    If you’re not a licensed user of PA, you’ll have to wait for the public beta. The public beta should be out sometime soon, so it might be better to just wait anyways, since some more bugs will be fixed by then.

                                    For more information, read the sticky at the top of this Tech Support thread.
