    • 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?

    • PowerArchivier don't save Created and Accessed timestamp

      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”)

      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,

    • Problems with registry restrictions on PA 2021 and sending reg codes

      BigMike

      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.

      “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:

      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.

    • PA Starter - CPU Overhead

      PA_Fan

      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.

      Just found a bug in PowerArchiver 2007 v10.01.03.
      These are the steps to reproduce the bug:
      Open the program, and then press and release the “alt” key on the keyboard. Press “m” for menu. Now press “i” for “Find Archives”. Now try and click the “Cancel” button on the “Find Archives” dialog box. The first time it is clicked it won’t do anything, and the second time it is clicked it will produce an error. This is when running under Windows XP Pro SP1 with a clean install of the PA2007 trial. I have tested this in VMWare on a clean XP Pro SP1 install and it does give the error. The error message varies. I have gotten “Access violation at address 0049E5CD in module ‘POWERARC.EXE’. Read of address 000000E4.” & also the same message but with both sets of numbers being all 0’s. Once or twice I also got “Priviledged instruction” or something like that (can’t quite remember, and only get it rarely). Also tried this in VMWare on XP Pro SP2 and it will throw the error under that setup too.

      My second issue is not a bug per say, but is a way a certain feature works, that I dislike. When right clicking on a folder, and telling PowerArchiver to compress it, if you are not using “Save full folder info” then the files are added to the archive okay, but the folder name is discarded. Meaning that if you do an “extract here” on the file you just created, it will dump out all the files into the current directory instead of recreating the folder that they were in when you did the compression. Previous versions of PA did not do it like that. Now, if I want to right click and compress a folder, but still have it decompress to a folder, I have to make a temp ‘placeholder’ folder to drop the other folder into, and then right click on the ‘placeholder’ folder and choose to zip it up. I don’t know if this was an intentional change in functionality or not, but I find it aggravating.

Now try and click the “Cancel” button on the “Find Archives” dialog box. The first time it is clicked it won’t do anything, and the second time it is clicked it will produce an error.

        Confirmed (in Win 98SE) - Modern View - Don’t need to actually start the find function, just trying to cancel the dialog produces the error.

        PA has always worked this way (in default). To change it to how you want, you need to activate the option “Miscellaneous / Use normal relative path”.

          Thanks for testing the bug, and thanks for the clarification about the compressing a folder issue. I wasn’t aware of what the ‘normal relative path’ function was for, and I guess it must have been set in my older version and I didn’t notice it getting dropped when I did the upgrade. Now that is solved, so its just a matter of finding out from the developers as to what is going to be done about the bug. I am curious as to what causes it, as it seems that the different error messages thing is a bit weird. I mean, if there was a specific error in the code, you would presume that it would always produce the same error message.

              Just found out that using the ‘alt’ key method of bringing up the menu seems to be what triggers it, as pressing the ‘f’ for “favorite folders” triggers the same issue where closing the resulting window causes an error. So you can launch either the ‘find archives’ option or the ‘favorite folders’ option using keyboard commands only, and it will give the error when you try and close the resulting window.
