    • Do not include the extension in the file name of the compressed file

      Mario Lopez

      Hello everyone

      I hope that despite my poor control of English, you can understand me.

      When compressing a file, by default the extension is included as part of the file name. for example, if the file is name.pdf, the compressed file will be name_pdf.zip.

      Is there any way for the extensions not to be included in the compressed file name? As much as I have searched I don’t see such an option.

      Thanks for your time

    • Upgrade registration issue

      Q

      Hello, I used the support form to ask this a couple weeks ago but never received a response. Perhaps here would be better? Here’s the issue:

      Powerarchiver 2019 was locking up testing a .7z file so I looked for and found a new version (note- new version didn’t fix this- I ended up using 7-Zip itself. Archive was large and contained a ton of files)

      Upon installing it, I was prompted to register it or “continue unregistered” so I logged into the website and used the order recovery option to get my new codes for PA2021. However, after cutting and pasting my name and registration code, upon restart when I click on the help button it still shows as unregistered (it did not show the nag dialog again). I tried two different codes (see below). I also tried installing again using the link in the email but there was no difference. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

      Update: After a couple weeks it still hasn’t negged me, but continues to show as unregistered in the (?) area- will this stop working altogether soon?

      OS: Windows 10 Pro version 2004

      File installed: first used PA 2019 to check for and install update, then used link in email which downloaded powarc200073.exe and installed that.

      Codes used: first tried the toolbox/english code in first email, then tried the standard/international code in second email

    • Issues converting a folder of .zip files to .lhz files

      O

      Hi,

      I’m using Convert Archives on a local folder of .zip files, converting them to .lzh files, and I’m finding that perhaps 1 in 75 files is actually converting and outputting a file. Even then, the .lzh file is incomplete, missing most of the source files.

      The progress bars completes OK, say 75/75 files, but only one .lzh file exists in the output folder.

      It seems to be the same with different source and output folders on both local and USB disk - I can’t see a pattern.

      The files extract and compress (to .lzh) without issue on their own.

      Is there a log file I can check please, to see why PA does not like these files as part of the batch conversion?

      Thanks very much, Rich.

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.

      I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

    • 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.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      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.

    • 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:

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

            2. What do you think of the features?
            a. What dont i think!! its great!
            b. Versitile
            c. It has features? where are they then?

                        I see what you are doing Spywolf! using reverse Psychology in order to make others feel they are above completing polls on PA and that such tasks are obtuse to their standards.

                        But from looking at the poll so far 85% of users beleave the new version of PA Rules! with 42% who prefer the new style Menu’s! I would guess that that number should go up once they learn how to use the ribbon menu.

                          By the way, Sir Richard…
                          Where’s the
                          “Don’t use GUI - I do everything via shell extensions” option :confused:
                          {Also aren’t polls invalid when there is no “Just Drink Beer” option :D }

                            I just downloaded and installed the 10 beta 7, to things immediately jumped out at me, 1, the new layout of the toolbar, change it to use the old which i prefer, and the size of the .dat file to create 7-zip sfx files at 294kb, jeez, and thats compressed using UPX, i was expecting something in the region of 60-70kb upx compressed, due to the fact the 1 i’m currently using is only 47kb, note by changing the upx packer to Upack reduced to 203024 bytes, Upack is also freeware, sorry i just couldnt help myself to re-compressing the .dat file.
                            I believe you could make the 7-zip dat file smaller without recompressing it.

                            Upack by Dwing available here, http://www.wex.cn/dwing/mycomp.htm#upack and it comes with a gui to

                              whats the link for upack?

                              yeah, it is big, and not something we can change easily, 7zip dll itself is 160kb or more and then we are left with interface :-).

                                i dont get it? Everyone likes it according to poll… Thats why you dont have poll where 6 answers are positive ones :-).

                                There are only 2 negative answers on the poll… And nobody picked them.

                                If someone dont likes Office UI…they dont have to use it :-).

                                We probably got around 100 emails so far on people liking it, and so far got 1 negative email, so ratio is good.

                                  Not really, it is hard to expect anything but mostly good answers on PowerArchiver forums, since people here like…PowerArchiver:-).

                                  It is hard to expect that people who visit daily dont like it :-).

                                    if u look at my previous post spywolf i added the webpage to Upack, there are 2 gui’s for it, winUpack is standard and UPO is for running it through the numbers, to get the best size, itstead of doing it manually
                                    for the 7-zip dat file, it would be 3,47 with a filesize of 202924 bytes for the smallest size, talking of filesizes, wouldnt it be possible for you to modify a sfx file already made as small as possible without compression, add info to that.

                                      you have to consider that we have to have full interface. When we modified 7zip sfx, we couldnt add all the features we wanted, without size going up. And more important was that we found out that modified sfx was slower than using dll, which is why we moved to dll.

                                      It is mostly for distributing files that are large - larger than 10-15 MB compressed, so extra 150kb for interface doesnt really matter…

                                        we did try upack, but for reason that escapes me now, we decided un upx implementation… could be false positives or some incompatibility, not sure anymore.

                                                Okay, you forced me to reply. I’ve been using PA 2006 for a few months and I love it! I was a registered user of that other software (initials W.Z.) but they ticked me off by asking me to pay for the most recent upgrade.

                                                PA 2007 seems to work just fine (save for a few bugs I’m sure will be worked out before final release) but I really don’t like the new interface. It’s too “busy”. But as long as I can use the “classic” interface, I’ve got no problem. Of course, I’m still using the “Windows Classic” style on my XP machine, too…

                                                  Hi!

                                                  Great job guys!

                                                  However there are two things that annoy me.
                                                  Why is it not possible to cascade the context menu like in PA2006?
                                                  Some Buttons are to small for the German translation.

                                                    sure it is… you just have to do via Add to submenu button…
