    • 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

      W

      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”)
      /
      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      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?

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

      Hi,

    • 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.

        Sorry but your decsription is a bit confusing; I hope you don’t mind if I ask some questions to clarify …
        @Stefiff:

        My disk divide to C: (FAT32), … I: (NTFS),

        So I: is a partitionj on the hard disk (not different disk)?
        @Stefiff:

        Temp folder SET to I:\Temp (Options>Cofiguration>Folders>Temp Location:C:\Temp)
        (Options>Cofiguration>Miscellaneous>Speed>Use current folder as temp is unchecked)

        Is that a typing error? Should be (Options>Cofiguration>Folders>Temp Location:I:\Temp)
        @Stefiff:

        When I’m creating backup PA ALWAYS! used C: …, don now exact directory, but on the C:.

        What files are you backing up - could the activity you see be PA reading the files?
        How are you performing the backup?
        Have you tested by making test archives?
        Where is the backup archive being stored?

        If you are using a backup script, could you list it or even provide it?
        @Stefiff:

        And because fail is larger >2GB, PA crashes and can’t create fail.

        I guess you mean “file” and not “fail”?
        When PA crashes, is there any error message(s)?
        Do you have less than 2GB free on C:?
        How much free space on I:?
        What is total size of files you are backing up - BEFORE compressing?
        @Stefiff:

        PS.Problem is when backup fail is ZIP. With 7Zip there is it NO??? Temp fail.

        Is this using PA to create 7Zip archive or do you mean using the 7Zip utility itself?
        @Stefiff:

        Backup fail is on the destinations and increase with progress of compressing.

        Sorry, I don’t know what you are saying here :confused:

              My Idea is to backup some files on the NAS / dlink-323/. PA creating backup file, and when file is <2GB, everything is ok. Creating temp file on “C:\….” then copy to NAS”\dlinkhdd…”. But when temp file is >2GB and type is ZIP, PA stopped when file reaches 2GB.
              I’m not tested with 7ZIP and network destination, only local. Computers are on my office, but now I’m writing from home.

                @Stefiff:

                Sorry for bad English, it is not my natural language.

                That is not a problem - I just didn’t want you to be upset when I asked all those questions :D

                To me, your settings should be OK, so you appear to have identified two separate problems/bugs:
                a) Changing Temp folder
                b) 2GB file size limit on zip compression

                Note: PA zip used to have a 2GB limit but this was increased in an earlier version (PA8 or PA9).

                P.S. might be a good idea to remove the email addresses in the your post to avoid “bot/spam scanners”

                  problem is maximum size of single file - 2 GB under FAT32 (that has nothing to do with zip or any other format).

                  It means zip backup is not using specified temp path, but always uses C:…. this might have been fixed in upcoming version already, but we will check it and make sure in any case.

                  thanks!

                    Sorry for me. :(

                    Checked on 3 computers, with WinXP/SP2, WinXP/SP3. Result is the same. I’m know 2GB limit for FAT32.
                    Problem is that I can’t move temp file to NTFS partition:(.

                    Checked with 7ZIP, local and on the network. Result is the same. NO temp file, when PA creating backup file. I’m think it is not good idea when backup file is big and moved on the network some times >10 min.

                    ZIP.
                    PA using “TMP” Environment Variable from Windows!! When I’m changed “TMP” and temp file location moved on new location:D. When I’m changed “TEMP” Environment Variable from Windows, temp file not move. / Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment variables>User variable for “USER”>TMP;TEMP /

                    I’m not using because it is not work for me:(. On Outlook Express I’m using “ My server requires authentication” from Account. My SMTP server is MY, where hosting my account. It is different from server on my Internet Provider. In PA there isn’t option like this.

                    Sorry for me. :(

                      can you please try with PA 2010 Beta 1 Preview? If you are Pro user, you should have gotten it in email.

                      thanks,

                        Checked with PA 2010 :(.
                        Same bug.
                        PA loading “TMP” variable on starting “POWERARC.EXE”. When I changed variable after starting PA, temp folder not changed.
                        The worst of it is that: PA 2009 checked destination, if it exist, by creating file with zero length on it. PA 2010 not check this :(.

                          wait - so problem is that you changed destination after load of PA?

                          It works if you restart?

                              backup is now different from PA, so you have to exit PA for the settings to be saved.

                                So…
                                PA2010 installed over PA2009.
                                Before start PA 2010:
                                “TMP” from WinXP set to “%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp” by default.
                                “Temp Location” from PA 2009 set to “I:*”.
                                1. Start PA2010, Check “Temp Location”, same - “**I:*
                                ”. Close PA2010.
                                For ZIP.
                                2. Start PA2010. Click Backup>….pbs. Check settings , everything is OK. Click “Do Backup”.
                                3. Check temp file while PA working. Created in “TMP” location = “
                                %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp**”.
                                4. Close PA 2010!!. Change “TMP” to “I:\temp”. Repeat step 2.
                                5. Check temp file while PA working. Created in NEW “TMP” location = “I:\temp”. !!
                                6. Close Backup window!!. PA not closed.
                                7. Change “TMP” to “D:\temp”. Click Backup>….pbs. Check settings, everything is OK. Click “Do Backup”.
                                8. Check temp file while PA working. Created in OLD “TMP” location = “I:\temp”. !!

                                For 7ZIP – no temp file, checked.

                                  So the problem is that in Backup “Temp” location is not used the same as defined in Configuration of main Pa WIndow (Options -> Configuation -> Folder)?

                                  If this is your problem, it will be fixed in next release.

                                    Yes!
                                    I can’t change it.
                                    Because on all my clients with WinXP, “C:” is formatted with FAT32 / it is easily fight with viruses /. And I can’t create backup:(.
