Make Queue Window Resizable

menes last edited by

In beta4 multiple select is finally introduced making queue usable! But the queue window is too small and it cannot be resizable!

So my wish is to make the queue window resizable!

Another wish is to use the queue manager in Batch Archive Creation.

If you use batch file creation and have not checked “Group files from same folder into same archive” then the individual archives should be added to queue if “Always use Queue” is checked in PA Starter. This makes Batch even more flexible by allowing to prioritize / delete individual archives.

I want better performance for IO Operations

Hello, I want to have the option to customize application buffer sizes so as to optimize IO operations. Point of case: I was trying to extract a single-file, 45+GB in size, from a RAR archive. This took almost seven hours, because the PA Toolbox kept reading and writing data to HDD almost simultaneously. On computers with decent amounts of RAM (> 8GB), I would like to have the option to control the buffer sizes for compression: Input: Up to 128 MB. Output: Up to 1 GB. This way, PowerArchiver Toolbox 2015 does not read 32 KB of data, or whatever small amount it currently does, but reads my proposed 128 MB in one pass, leaves the HDD alone while it’s performing the in-memory extraction, then writes data back to the HDD. I believe this will add significant performance improvements, because of no longer having to wait for the hard drive to recover from reading/ reading in a location different than the previous one. On modern hard drives, reading or writing to consecutive blocks is very optimized. Let’s use that. And let’s also better use the amounts of RAM on modern computers. If we could also imagine a compression mechanism that uses larger-size buffers, that would be great. It will definitely help us improve on our IO usage and performance (due to not congesting IO but by coordinating I and O for smart operations). Thanks, R.

@TBGBe: Why do you want a “license window” on an Archive? It sounds like you actually want to create an installer not an archive. I’m sure this i what Wandus want. To create a simple sfx used for installations like Winzip self-extractor (the separate product) and WinRAR can do. PA can create sfx as well, but winrar and the winzip self extractor are simply better for that purpose. It’s not a replacement for installshield and similar products that is a lot more advanced, but a simple sfx module to distribute software. I agree with Wandus that a better sfx module in PA would be nice so i vote for this as well.

Hi, Queue window does not have option to stay on top. When hidden I have no feedback about progress of tasks. At least when one or all jobs are finished I’d like some balloon hints to pop above tray or/and to hear some sound.

@alextorex: using special minimize button just for the sake of having option to minimize to tray seems overkill to me. The window without standard minimize icon seems weird. Please use a a standard window with normal minimize and you can add a check box for minimize to tray. Also add in options default setting for the check-box. +1

Hello! I think it would be a great option to make the portable version of PowerArchiver compatible with PortableApps (i.e. adding the necessary files and folders to integrate it smoothly into their structure). I own various other commercial programmes which -when installed in portable mode- offer to make the becessary changes without needing an extra installer or the official PortableApps repos. Thanks for opinions or perhaps even a realization of this. A.Borque

Thanks a lot! I searched with the key “x64” or “AMD” so I had not found anything, great to hear 64bit will be used PA is always a step beyond competitors

Hi Guys, Winzip 15 Standard and Pro now have a Destop Gadget with simple options, so maybe PA can up the game as per my original above request. NEW!Drag files onto the new WinZip Desktop Gadget to instantly zip/unzip them
