    • Self-extracting archive creation too messy!

      A

      Good morning,
      I have been using all compression programs for over 20 years, I have always found Winrar very easy to use when I create a self-extracting archive, even 7-zip is simple, “right click” and “create self-extracting archive”, because on powerarchiver it must be like this confused ?
      It doesn’t just create the archive, it opens a page where I have to select the file again, what kind of archive, which folder to create it, etc … you should learn from your competitors how to make life easier!

    • Cannot convert archive to .zip, always creates .zipx

      C

      Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.

      Using the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

    • PA archiving issue with large files and shows incorrect original content's size for all types of archives.

      G

      Hi,

      So refer this screenshot:

      image_2020-12-30_115129.png

      The properties panel that you see, is what I tried to compress, using PA, with following settigs:
      Extreme Strong optimize
      https://forums.powerarchiver.com/assets/uploads/files/1609079025475-image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      The process was stuck at 0% with no progress for over 8 Hours:

      PA.png

      Then the usual, clicking will make it go not responding.

      So, I could not get the files compressed using PA.

      I tried 7zip, and it worked, so that’s 1 issue.

      PA shows incorrect original(before compression) size of total contents.

      Refer the first screenshot.
      folder’s size is shown correctly in 7ZIP
      but not in powerarc.

      this happens with every archive, whether they are compressed in PA or not, whether it has only 1 file, or multiple files inside multiple directory.

      Neither does the archive property panel shows original content’s size.

    • PA Not responding issue and Pause issue

      G

      Hi,

      So my rig is as below:
      CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (Turbo 3.7GHz)
      RAM: 16 Gigs DDR3
      Samsung SSD 860 EVO
      Windows 10 pro for workstations x64, freshly installed on 22nd Dec 2020, and updated.
      PA freshly downloaded on same day, so it’s 2021 x.x.62 version

      PA Stuck.png

      Issue and reproduction:
      If you start a compression, and if it’s mid way anywhere or even started, and you try to cancel it, the window will get stuck there, another click or key press will make the window not responding, then, and more will make windows to collect logs for crash, and the process will be terminated by windows

      On the other hand.

      If the process is mid way, and if you try to pause it, the compression, CPU utilization, RAM usage will stay/increase as if the compression if still going on, the whole process will take it’s course, instead of doing what we clicked on.

      So, both pause and cancel buttons are useless.

    • PowerArchiver Queue made worse

      G

      Just installed 2021 v20.00.63

      Now, when I add to queue, with or without using always use queue.

      The powerarc starter opens up in notification bar.

      and that’s it, no matter how many files I add to queue, no compression will start.

      I also cannot double click or right click the icon.

      If i end task for this, and disable queuing, compression works fine, just that I have to manually start individual tasks.

      it’s quite ironic that you guys took whole year to fix one issue, in this versions, which completely broke the queuing feature.

      Did you guys test it before releasing?

    • PA does Negative compression, but 7zip does positive compression for same set of files

      Run the exe it will extract the installable drivers to C:\drivers

      I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
      Extreme, strong optimize.
      image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      This resulted in negative compression.

      However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:

      I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

    • BUG: Dragging and dropping not working, hangs

      AluminumHaste

      Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to track down the cause of a hanging bug in PA.
      I have found a reliable test case (on my computer at least).

      I am trying to extract the folders/files from: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.9.0/windeps.7z

      By selecting both folders, then dragging over to a Windows Explorer window on another HDD.
      I’m not sure what causes this but this just doesn’t do anything, progress bar appears, but nothing happens.
      PA shows about 5% CPU utilization and I’ve left this going all night and it never does anything.
      It doesn’t always happen, but this morning this is reliably failing for me.
      The folder I’m dragging to is under Git source control, but this also happens when dragging into other folders also, but not always, sometimes it works.

      If I do a regular extraction and use the dialog box to select the location to extract to, that always works.

    • UI Issue moving between different monitors

      G

      I have just installed 2021, but seems to have similar issues to 2019. If you move the app between differen monitors (with different resolutions) the app does not automatically adjust accordingly, so on one monitor I have the app is too big for the screen, whereas on another monitor it only takes up a small fraction of the screen.
      This was worse with 2019, where the fonts were totally screwed up, making the app unusable. This seems better in 2021, but still not working properly.

    • PA 20.00.63 update still install 20.00.62

      2

      Hi.

      I have noticed after updating PowerArchiver through PatchBeam to 20.00.63, after the installer finished and I recheck for updates, it still tells me that I have version 20.00.62 installed and prompts to download 20.00.63 again.

      This also happens when I install from the offline setup file powarc200063.exe ( https://powerarchiverdl.cachefly.net/2021/powarc200063.exe ). It still installs version 20.00.62 and the process goes over and over again.

      Also, in PowerArchiver About screen I see version 20.00.62 but in Programs and Features in Windows 10, version 20.00.63 is displayed as being installed.

      Can someone check and see if they experience similar behavior?

    • Bug with opening an archive while a file is being extracted from an already opened archive

      A

      When I double click on a file within an archive the file gets temporarily extracted to being opened with the external program. When I now go back to the windows explorer and want to open another archive while the file from the first archive is still being extraceted, a new window of power archiver opens and immediatly closes. It opens and closes the new window repeatedly until the extraction of the file from the first archive is completed.

      I use the option that power archiver opens a new tab when another archive is opened.

      This happend with version 20.00.60. I wanted to update it to 20.00.63 as shown in the update window but it just updates to 20.00.62. It still shows that 20.00.63 is available but never seem to update to that version. The bug still exists though.

    • PA very slow to launch (double click) html file from archive

      S

      I have some large zip files (~ 40 MB) with a lot of html files. When I double click on one of them in the archive, it takes a long time (eg 20 sec) for the file to be extracted and opened in the browser.

      I am using version 19.00.59.

      I discovered that the root cause of the problem is that all the files in the archive are extracted to the temporary dir before the selected file is launched.

      It does not appear to happen with other file types (such as pdf) nor when dragging a html file into the browser.

      I think I recall this issue being raised by someone else, but could not find it.

    • PA 2021 associate formats popup Minor bug

      F

      Hello there,

      I was installing-uninstalling and reinstalling PA 2021 due to another bug when I noticed a minor popup “bug” if it is considered a bug, regarding application association with recommended formats.

      During PA installation you get to choose those options
      Installation 1.png

      I have ticked Associate PA with recommended formats

      Installation completes and when you open PA the defult theme is Windows Ribbon.
      When I changed it to Classic Theme, PA restarts for changes to take effect and then I get the below popup (Sorry I have a greek system)
      It asks: Do you want PA to associate with recommended formats now?
      Options: Associate for all users and Never show again.
      Popup 2.png

      I could swear that once I was changing themes and icons all the time to see which one I prefered and also toggling PA.exe to run as admin and windows compatibility mode and got this popup twice or tripple times.
      Well this one does not bother me at all, I just posted it for the records if needed!

    • Inconsistency with disabled tabs and multiple instances of PA allowed

      A

      If I the Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked, when double clicking inside archives on files supported by the internal viewer (PDF, JPEG etc.) they are opened in associated application rather than on a new tab in PA internal viewer, which is expected behavior.
      Next, if the Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking on archives associated with PA in Explorer they are opened in new PA instance when there is another one already running, which is expected behavior.
      But when Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked AND Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking inside archives on archive files they are opened in the same instance of PA with no way to get back to the parent archive. I would expect, that when the user doesn’t want to use tabs AND want to use multiple PA instances, that in such case double clicking on archive located inside another archive, the second one would open in a new PA window.

      All PA 2007 betas I’ve installed clobber the old install. This means I have to both reenter the registration code and reconfigure all my settings. Even now, going from beta 4 to beta 5 required that I once again redo everything.

      I most certainly hope this will be fixed.

        Totaly agree with you, this has also happend to me on every upgrade and it does become slight frustrating more so when you have to re configuire all your settings over and over again.

        This is why in one of my posts I asked for a “Save Configuiration” button that extracts your prefered settings to a file which you can upload on the next upgrade thus stoping you from having to re apply everything all over again.

        For security reasons you can understand why you need to re-enter your serial number but for beta’s i wouldnt say it was needed. more so on full releases.

                        you need to visit your account and get codes for PA 2007, as they are different from PA 2006 codes.

                              In beta 7 i have the same problem. I reformated my hard drive and installed beta 6 and then i installed beta 7 and i have to renter my settings again. looks like pa is over writing the settings thats what my installed monitor is saying. When will this be fixed i have a windows 2000 computer. its an annoying part of upgradeing pa with every beta

                                I can confirm this too, all my settings for the previous beta (including the serial number) were lost during the upgrade to the latest beta.

                                It would be nice if the installer could remember the settings (shell extensions, folders etc.) during the update.

                                    Confirmed here too with beta 7. It would be nice to export settings just so we wouldn’t have to go through this - but, that’s a different issue. ;)

                                      we found another bug… it will be now fixed for… b9 :-).

                                      thank you guys - you can always export via regedit.exe and then just execute the .reg file after installation…

                                        As others have stated, this is definitely NOT FIXED in Beta 7

                                          Ditto!

                                          I have actually designed my own regkey that will upload my Username, Serial aswell as my old prefered settings in order to save time as we are now in Beta 7 and still the settings don’t seem to save after an upgrade.

                                          In some new software programs when upgrading or uninstalling you have the option to keep or delete your current registry settings I would suggest that this might be an idea PA2008 Have or maybe a later release of 2007 Final.

                                            again, it is an bug :-). It will still be reset in B8, but then it will work fine in B9 or final, whatever comes sooner :-).

                                                            Just for fun err… testing, I uninstalled PA beta, rebooted, then installed PA 2006 and entered registration code.

                                                            Then I tried “upgrading” to Beta 9…

                                                            Of course, registration is “lost” - but the timer showed
                                                            Days Used : 16 (Out of 30)

                                                            Not sure where this came from, but I like it - two weeks to get the new/free code seems eminently fair.

                                                            Maybe in this specifc case (upgrade of registered version) there should be a text stating that new codes are needed and where to get them?

                                                            Even the skin was preserved when switching to classic view :cool:

                                                            The only other setting not preserved were the shell extensions - not really surprising.

                                                                  Maybe the 16 days used is just counted from installation of PA 2007 Beta 8 - but as I did enter register code for that I am not sure where it counts from :confused:

                                                                  We changed the the date for counting PA 2007 in one of the beta’s, so it counts from then… I am not sure exactly which one was it…

                                                                    Well I was just wondering if a first time upgrade from PA2006 to PA2007 will reset the counter to 0 for PA2007?

                                                                    There is another “problem” however.
                                                                    When upgrading from PA 2006 to PA 2007, the entry in Add/Remove programs for PA 2006 is not removed.
                                                                    So I now have two entries.

                                                                    If I now click to remove PA 2006 - it actually removes the installed PowerArchiver but leaves the entry for PA 2007 in Add/Remove programs :confused:

                                                                    1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                      As to the counter, it is relative to when it is installed first on your system, which is why it shows you 16 days… to person who installs it today, it will be 0.

                                                                      thanks,
