    • 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.

    • 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!

    • 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

      Hi,

      You can obtain the original file from here:

      For Lenovo Y50-70 win 7 x64 bit, power management, get lenovo energy management

      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.

            What is planned beyond Beta 1?
            We plan no major features for Beta 2 and Final version, with exception of improved 7zip engine.

            With Beta 1, we have already improved support for 7zip - updating of non solid archives, better unicode support, better looking and acting dialogues and generally faster speed means that it is one of the best parts of PA 2009.

            Up to the final version, we expect PA 2009 to be the best 7zip GUI on the market. There are actually some surprises coming in that regard so stay tuned!

              OMG, price hike for English version! OMG Pro version is so expensive!

              Inflation sucks. With expansions that we have had this year, and opening of our European office, most of our employees are now in Europe. That means that we are hurt more with low USD value and we had to respond with slight raise in the price of PA 2009 - which we hope we provided enough features to justify. Pricing has actually gone down for customers and small businesses buying 2 or more licenses and gone up for large corporations.

              And you know what? Buuu-f-huu. We dont like inflation and we buy gas, food, juice as everyone else.

              So we decided to offer limited time 15% discount on all PA 2009 preorders, which makes PA 2009 currently cheaper than ever. Not only that, but as part of that offer, all future upgrades are free for everyone, including business companies.

              And for our European friends (hello germany), PowerArchiver is cheaper than ever at 17 Euro with this offer.

                How long will the Beta last?

                We expect it to last for 2-3 weeks. Amount of beta releases depend on number of issues found. We actually tested it really well and we dont expect many issues but you never know.

                  So whats the big deal with PA 2009?

                  Except that we worked our behinds off, there are many big improvements.

                  For standard version (didnt lose any features of course), big things are 7zip, rar/zip speed, interface improvements, preview window (which is pretty cool) and a lot of other things.

                  Pro gets Ftp Client window, Burner functions and some more advanced backup features.

                  Is PA 2009 bloatware now?
                  We asked our alpha testers and they said not! They should know, they have been using it for quite a while. In many ways, PowerArchiver is faster than ever - zip, 7zip and unrar are all faster, especially under Vista. Burner is not only an separate application but it is also pretty lightweight itself and quite usable tool.

                  How is PA 2009 distributed?
                  Both versions are in the same installer. If you are using trial version, you can try Pro features for 30 days and if you actually register Standard version, all Pro features and nags will dissapear and you dont have to look at any Pro version nags.

                    Here is one screenshot to see new preview, burner, backup list and new black skin for PA 2009:

                              Discount is between 50% and 80%, thus giving you access to Professional version
                              for as little as 6.99 USD for 1 license.

                              p.s. 80% discount means it costs $6.99 to upgrade to Pro version.

                              False. When I try to buy the upgrade, it says I’m eligible for an 80% discount, but it shows the upgrade price as 6.39 EUR, which comes out to about $10.13 USD. I am in the US.

                                got mine and it was $7.00 something well spent in my opinion.

                                  why are you trying to buy international version? If you need english, you need to get english version.

                                  Unless you originally purchased International version.

                                  Pricing is different for both versions, and both get 80% discount compared to their original price.

                                    Hi,

                                    Well I have just pruchased the upgrade today, must say that PowerArchiver is as stated the Ultimate Archive Utility for Windows.

                                          With the discount it would just be rude not to upgrade to Pro.

                                          Cheers

                                            All I’m doing is navigating to https://www.conexware.com/shop/index.php and clicking the “Upgrade” link. There is one and only one such link under the “Available Upgrades” section I see when I go to that page. The product I am eligible for an 80% discount on is shown as “PowerArchiver 2009 Pro with Outlook Plug-in International License”. There is no English-only product shown.

                                            It says I bought “PowerArchiver 2003 Personal License”, which is accurate. I still have my email receipt, and it does not say that it is the international version, nor do I know why it would have been. I lived in the US when I placed that order.

                                            I also have an email showing the registration code for PA 2007. That email says “As you placed your order for English-only, this code will only work with the English language version of PowerArchiver 2007.”

                                            Can you help me?

                                              We just figured it out for someone that emailed support - for PA 2001 - 2004 Personal licenses, only store upgrade was International. This was done because then we didnt have English or International so those licenses, when it comes to right to use PA Standard, are international (they can use any language version). In all the rush to finish it up we forgot that the pricing is different.

                                              If anyone purchased International upgrade for PA 2001-PA 2004 Personal and wanted English Only, please let us know if you want an refund for that purchase

                                              And it has been fixed now for those users.

                                              thanks!

                                                  I am one of those affected by this. No worries though as it was still a good price for the upgrade.

                                                              try it out and see… Most valuable thing for me would be Burner and Advanced Backup features… FTP Client is not there to replace standalone ftp applications, but an easy way to download, upload backups and whatever else you need to do quickly.

                                                              But PA 2009 Standard kicks azz too, and all of the basic compression features are in there.

                                                                I have also purchased the upgrade to pro for $6.98 for the English version. I live in Hazlet, NJ. The only feature I can’t use is the Outlook Plugin because I only have Windows Mail, not Outlook. Even after purchasing the upgrade to the Pro version I still don’t have PACL v5.0 in my account.

                                                                  I like to hear about the continued development of PA and purchased a 2009 Pro Licence (Yay, 80% off ^^) right away.

                                                                  By the way, changing the international orders to Euro was nifty, very nifty. So I had to pay ~10.14 USD instead of 6.39 USD (or 6.39 EUR instead of 4.03 EUR). I hoped to take a good benefit of the weak USD course, but 10 EUR is not too expensive for this upgrade ^^

                                                                                        The Outlook plug-in is free for PA 2007 users. But when ordering PA 2009, you have to choose between Standard Edition or Pro Edition with Outlook Plug-in. Does this mean the Outlook plug-in only works with PA 2007 and PA 2009 Pro and not with PA 2009 Standard and thus now the Outlook plug-in became a Pro feature only?

                                                                                        Robert

                                                                                          If you purchased PA 2009, PAOP will work with Pro version only.

                                                                                            We will keep the upgrade discounts for 2 weeks after we release final release. Translations are coming up as well, and will be released as soon as they are done (English and German are done by us, others will be released as they are sent to us).

                                                                                            thanks!

                                                                                                As promised, we are extending this special offer for next 2 weeks, it will end October 10th.

                                                                                                Here is new thread created for that offer specifically:
                                                                                                http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3358

                                                                                                As PA 2009 is officially released, this thread will be closed. Translations are coming soon (all should come within month), and of course, this is not end of PA 2009. Those who have been with us for a long time now (10 years!!!) know that we will have at least 4-5 updates before PA 2010, a lot of them being feature updates so please continue writing on wish list and reporting bugs.

                                                                                                We have some pretty big new features planned for next 6 months and you guys WILL LOVE THEM.

                                                                                                Once again thanks everyone!
