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.
PA Batch.png
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!

If you have tabbed archive browsing(reuse same window for all archive opening)
and if you open two archives, and right click on older one to view properties it will only show of the recent archive that was opened, on all tabs/archivesupgraded to 20.0.73

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! -
I’ve been dealing with an intermittent explorer.exe crash for 5-6 years now. It happens randomly and will usually occur multiple times within a single session of an hour or two on my machine when manipulating files through Windows Explorer. explorer.exe is the only thing that ever crashes, so it’s not hardware IMO. I’ve done all hardware diagnostics and RAM is good. I’ve even swapped out motherboards with different brand and even the exact same one and it still crashes. sfc /scannow indicates system files are fine. I’ve done multiple reinstalls of the OS with no positive results. This crashing has happened on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. It seemed to get more frequent with Windows 10 after upgrading last year. I’ve also been using PowerArchiver throughout that time period (upgrading over time with new releases). I recently disabled all non-Microsoft extensions via ShellExView and saw no crashes for about 10 days, which is really unusual. I turned back them all back on after 10 days and saw another explorer.exe crash within the hour. So I disabled all 32-bit extensions and saw another crash. Following that I disabled all the PowerArchiver shell extensions and haven’t seen a crash after a day of heavy usage manipulating files within Windows Explorer, which doesn’t happen for me. The crash dumps I’ve captured don’t seem to indicate PowerArchiver is involved but I have a hunch it has something do with PowerArchiver shell extensions. The system even feels smoother with the PA extensions disabled. Windows 10 reliability monitor always has the same type of problem:

I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

When you select “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” as the method, it still converts the archive to a ZIPX format.
-
Would like to see uha archives supported compression as well as extraction. I use this all the time and it is a very good compression format
-
In windows 10 you can right-click and select send to and the compressed zipped folder and the zip folder will contain the name of the last selected file.
Does PowerArchiver have a similar function?
Tom
-
Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.
pa-convert-zip-1.jpg
pa-convert-zip-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

patchbeam a waste of time never updated with latest version

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. -
Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

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!
CRC error w/split zip in PA 11.50.61
-
I just installed V11.50.61 and created a split zip file from one of my VMware image directories (about 32GB’s worth of files). The creation process went ok, but upon trying to unzip the file or perform a zip ‘test’ process using Winzip 11, I get a crc error part way in. Let me know what other info you may require.
TIA
-
does it work with PA?
-
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Not only do I get a crc error in Winzip when doing a ‘test’, I get a crc error with PA when trying to unzip it.
-
ok, and how did you create the zip file, what options did you use and what interface did you use (shell or main PA).
thanks!
-
I right-clicked from Explorer and selected “Compress with options…”. I then only changed ‘Multiple Disk Spanning’ to ‘DVD (4.7GB)’ leaving Method at Deflate and Compression at Normal.
When I test the zip file with Winzip, I get the following in a requester.
WinZip
Error in file #19: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk #3 offset: 365750754.
OK Help
When I try to unzip the file with PA, somewhere around the middle of the operation, I get an extremely wide requester with jumbled text displayed.
-
i tried the same and it worked fine, so it might be a bit more specific that just large file.
Can you create an screenshot of error in PA please?
-
Here is the pic.
-
does it compressing that file without splitting work?
-
Yes, compressing the directory contents without splitting works fine.
-
ok, let me try to reproduce it with 50 GB test case and lets see what happens.
thanks

can you try creating same archive, just via main PA window and see if that makes any difference please?
thanks!
-
Just tried it. Same problem.
-
Also, please try creating same archive without spanning feature. So we can see if whole - big archive is OK for the beginning.

@Activation:
same for me the zip does not work. it all makes PowerArchiver say unusable.
french version. (windows 7 64bits RC1 and WIndows vista 64bits SP2) I have two licence
That’s the beta phase reserved for the English and German.
we are left with a final unusable. awesome. just reinstall the older version 2009and more still no full version 64bits
on this point, the developer 7zip should be more talentedreally disappointed :mad:
you have to explain what exactly does not work.

I have the same problem with crc error in Russia version of PA 11.50.61.
Windows Vista 32bits SP2can you please tell us more on how are you creating these files. Is it spanning or?
-
can you try selecting and compressing only several of these files, maybe it is some specific file/filename that is causing it to happen and that could help us isolate the issue.
I have tested with 50 GB archive and all went well. So it has to be a bit more specific.
thank you!

I have more info, but no specifics that I feel confident will help.
I have tried zipping and splitting large sets of files, but none cause the problem except those from my VMware sets of files, and not all of those.
The problem appears to be related to zipping up large files that when finished, end up being near the end of the split boundary.
Example, I had eleven vm files that were all nearly 2GB in size. If I zipped them in dictionary name order, I could repeat the error, but if I renamed them and zipped in a different order, the problem did not exist. File name length seems to have nothing to do with the error.
Does any of this make any sense?

not really, but i will try creating VM files of same size and reproducing it like that :)

Sorry, I didn’t found an answer to one my question - does creating same ZIP archive with same files and size without spanning works fine?
-
Yes, creating a zip with the same files without spanning works fine.
-
Just fyi, the latest rc still has this same problem. ;)
-
would it be possible for us to download those original files? Only way we can reproduce it (and fix it).
Maybe try with less files but same folder (smaller file size) and see if that works or not, if we can get smaller sample it will be easier.
thanks

The file set is over 32GB, plus this is a VMware image that contains proprietary software. There is no way I could get it to you. I’ll try to come up with a repeatable scenario that causes the problem using smaller and different files, however the problem only seems to show up at the DVD sized split boundary.
-
See if you can reproduce the problem using the below steps.
Download http://www.bertel.de/software/rdfc/rdfc.zip
Unzip the rdfc.exe file and put it in a temporary directory with at least 37GB of space.
From the temporary directory, create the test files by running the following commands in order:
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk” 1818
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s001.vmdk” 2146304000
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s002.vmdk” 2145976320
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s003.vmdk” 2139947008
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s004.vmdk” 2141257728
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s005.vmdk” 2145583104
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s006.vmdk” 2138832896
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s007.vmdk” 2140471296
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s008.vmdk” 2137587712
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s009.vmdk” 2135818240
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s010.vmdk” 2144796672
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s011.vmdk” 2146172928
Highlight all the vmdk files, right-click and select parameters per the attached pic.I then open the .zip file in Winzip and perform a ‘Test’. I get a CRC error. If you unzip with PA, you should eventually get either a CRC error, an erroneous password prompt, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions.

extremly helpful, thanks a lot!
-
this issue has been fixed in next release :-)
-
and thanks a lot… huge help!
-
That is so great. That had to be a hard one to diagnose and fix I bet. Great job and many thanks!

going through 5 GB archives with hex editor = awesome :-)
-
You can re-download 11.60.12 from our website. Please check it out and see if this solved your issue.
We did not have a lot of time to test it out.Thanks!
-
Things are looking good. I tested two large directories that had problems before when zipped/split, but have no problems when zipped/split with the latest PA build. I’ll continue to keep a close watch on new zips going forward and let you know if I see a repeat of the problem.
Thanks!
-
awesome. I will keep this thread open just in case :).
thanks
