Hi,
I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

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.

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

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

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?

Hi -
I have powerarchiver licenses for powerarchiver standard and toolbox (and also as a result for pro).
I can successfully register powerarchiver with my pro/toolbox codes, and it unlocks the majority of the content/features. However if I try and create a .pa style archive I get the registration popup saying I need PowerArchiver Pro (if I go to help/about I can verify I have the relevant version and it’s registered to me).

Hi,
I just saw, that on the Website, PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.73 is advertised as latest version. (Actually, the downloaded version says, it’s 20.00.70 in the about dialog)
But it still comes with the “red icon set” for preview versions and has some known unfixed bugs, as I read here.Is it sufficiently stable to be used on production systems?
Kind regards
-
This happens in Archive and Explorer Mode:
Navigate to a folder, which is UAC protected (for example C:\Program Files) Right click -> New -> Folder (or any other item)
=> Nothing happensExpected behaviour: UAC prompt is triggered and a new folder (or file) will be created

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.

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.

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.
Please see if this can be removed.

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.
-
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

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!

Hi.
I currently own the PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English license.
This license is active on 1 device. Does the license allow me to activate PowerArchiver on a second device that I own? Or do I need a separate license for that?
Thank you ! :)

Hello!
While the installable version of PA 2021 has already received two updates and is at version 20.0.73 the portable version still remains at the initially released build 58. Are there plans to update that version, too?
Thanks for a reply!
Associate with .r00,r.01,.r02….......
-
how can you set power archiver 2004 to associate these file types? i dont want to have to associate 50 types one by one.
-
Well, r00,r01 … are RAR split files so if you associate PA with RAR filetype…
r00 … r99 are also associatedNote: PA only supports RAR for uncompress - due to licensing, it cannot create/compress RAR files.
Note 2: .001 … .099 may also be assumed to be RAR files (old version) - but this is a seperate association setting!
-
it would be nice if there is a setting or section just for files that types that can not be created but can be opened by powerarchiver. This would help new users understand more about the files powerarchiver can create and can’t but can open.
-
PowerArchiver automatically associates .R00 and .R01 with RAR files. This is due some people in the past (when RAR was in DOS) liked to start archive set e.g. with .R01 so they know from the archive filename which volume it is.
So, since archive sets usually don’t start with .R02, PowerArchiver is not associating .R02 and all other extensions after this, but if you open .R01 file, you will get opened all files after it.
If you want to open some of these extensions, you have two options - but both of them are manually work;)
- go to Registry Editor -> HKCR -> e.g. .R12 -> and set Default value to PARAR
- right click on .R12 file in Windows Explorer and choose “Open with” and then select PowerArchiver
-
whay not make all r0 files asscoated wirth pa so that if you open any of the filesets it can open the archive and recreate it
-
Well there is one small problem. If all the files were associated, single user which opens one directory with all RAR volumes (.rar, r01, r02, …) he would icons (PA Icon for RAR) for all files and he wouldn’t know which one is the first one of the volume.
So, most users do not want to open RAR volumes other than first volume. So you can do this manually if you use steps described before.
-
why not have an icon just for the first volum i.e ro1 (a special icon)if thats the first one and the rest have an icon for rar archives. basically it would be nice if you clicked on asy r04 it tells you itt is the fourty part of an archive and can open the file. so if you open any part of tyhe volume it can open up the whole archive
-

Note: this applies to spanned Zip as well : z01, z02 etc. (also not associated / no icons).
I’m not sure about the icons, but are you referring to this wishlist request again:
