BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

[spwolf]

we will check the issue 2., as to the verify - as I wrote one post above yours, function has been added to future beta 4 :)

[ProUser]

Here is my feedback:

1. Thank you for including verification! :)
2. Also: Having an option to easily set to erase, then burn then verify with just ticks on a single screen is great! :)
3. However, the program does not show any progress bars for the erasure and verification tasks when they are ticked at the start screen (not the separate erasure screen). :( Users like to see progress displayed while burning/erasing/verifying and all burning software take this into account.
4. When the window is minimized during verification and then reopened before the end of the process, it remains white (blank)
5. There is no need for two separate add buttons - one for folders and one for files. Instead, a double click could open folders (to choose a file for adding from those inside), and a single click could just select the folder for adding.
What if I want to add 8 folders and 10 files? With the present disposition of the buttons, I will have to go back to the start screen 18 times and maybe every time choose a different button to proceed!
6. Burner tray should not open automatically. What if I have changed my mind and want to change the contents right away? Why not open the tray when the burner section is closed or - with a special button?
7. And finally: the problem with the simultaneous adding of new and removal of older files for recording still exists. Please, fix that! :confused:

Yours sincerely,

4. - thank you.
7. we can not reproduce this, please include more details.

5. Thats how it has to work for now, same system is used throughout PA.
6. Thats "requirement: of Windows, otherwise burner will not work properly.

3. create wish in wishlist forums please.

It is very hard for us to track issue reports where we have several issues in same thread. Please try to open several threads if issues are not the same.

Here is the problem in 7 above:

1. I recorded and verified several files filling in a rewritable CD to the brim - in a single session
2. closed the burner tray went back to start screen and
3. removed a recorded file with the remove button
4. added a new file for burning and started the process

The process ended with an error - just like before (prebeta 3)

Please try Beta 5, via web update. Let us know if this issue has been fixed.

I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but this b5 version seems simply unworkable with regard to its burner function. The drag and drop feature is a disaster. I use Servant Salamander v2.5 file manager and I tried to drag and drop files from it for burning by selecting four folders in it and here is what happened:

1. Instead of dropping the four selected folders, it just copied 1 folder and filled it with four copies of the original files.
2. I tried to remove them and add some more files. The program crashed.
3. I started over again. Copied the four folders one at a time. This worked. For some reason though the bar at the bottom of the screen (where empty space is shown) filled up although the files were not big.
4. I removed the files the bar did not clear.
5. I tried to add the files again but the program crashed on me and that was that.

nothing pesimistic there, bug with adding folders… will be fixed next version. Thats why we have betas :-)
