      Q

      Hello, I used the support form to ask this a couple weeks ago but never received a response. Perhaps here would be better? Here’s the issue:

      Powerarchiver 2019 was locking up testing a .7z file so I looked for and found a new version (note- new version didn’t fix this- I ended up using 7-Zip itself. Archive was large and contained a ton of files)

      Upon installing it, I was prompted to register it or “continue unregistered” so I logged into the website and used the order recovery option to get my new codes for PA2021. However, after cutting and pasting my name and registration code, upon restart when I click on the help button it still shows as unregistered (it did not show the nag dialog again). I tried two different codes (see below). I also tried installing again using the link in the email but there was no difference. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

      Update: After a couple weeks it still hasn’t negged me, but continues to show as unregistered in the (?) area- will this stop working altogether soon?

      OS: Windows 10 Pro version 2004

      File installed: first used PA 2019 to check for and install update, then used link in email which downloaded powarc200073.exe and installed that.

      Codes used: first tried the toolbox/english code in first email, then tried the standard/international code in second email

    • PA2021: Cannot close ZIP Comment

      Hi,

      I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

    • Issues converting a folder of .zip files to .lhz files

      O

      Hi,

      I’m using Convert Archives on a local folder of .zip files, converting them to .lzh files, and I’m finding that perhaps 1 in 75 files is actually converting and outputting a file. Even then, the .lzh file is incomplete, missing most of the source files.

      The progress bars completes OK, say 75/75 files, but only one .lzh file exists in the output folder.

      It seems to be the same with different source and output folders on both local and USB disk - I can’t see a pattern.

      The files extract and compress (to .lzh) without issue on their own.

      Is there a log file I can check please, to see why PA does not like these files as part of the batch conversion?

      Thanks very much, Rich.

    • Do not include the extension in the file name of the compressed file

      Mario Lopez

      Hello everyone

      I hope that despite my poor control of English, you can understand me.

      When compressing a file, by default the extension is included as part of the file name. for example, if the file is name.pdf, the compressed file will be name_pdf.zip.

      Is there any way for the extensions not to be included in the compressed file name? As much as I have searched I don’t see such an option.

      Thanks for your time

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.

      I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

      Hi -

      I have powerarchiver licenses for powerarchiver standard and toolbox (and also as a result for pro).

      I can successfully register powerarchiver with my pro/toolbox codes, and it unlocks the majority of the content/features. However if I try and create a .pa style archive I get the registration popup saying I need PowerArchiver Pro (if I go to help/about I can verify I have the relevant version and it’s registered to me).

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      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.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      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.

    • Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      I multi-boot all my PCs.

      I have noticed that I takes PA longer to close when pressing the ‘X’ in the upper right of the window under Win 7 (32 bit) than it does under winXP. In one case (Athlon XP 3200, 2Gb) the closing is instantaneous in XP and takes about 6-7 seconds under Win 7. On a much faster system, a difference is still there, albeit in the order of 1-2 seconds.

      Win 7 is an officially obtained and installed/activated 32 bit RC (build 7100) version in both cases.

        there is probably something else in play there, some specific setting… you can send us your registry file HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver via mail that you know already, and we will check it out.

        It shouldnt have anything to do with Win7 itself, but something specific to that PA installation. We run 10 different Win7 versions ourselves.

                Setting to default values may take a second or two off the time. I also noticed similar delays when clicking buttons on some boxes. For example, clicking ‘ok’ in the main configuration box (options > configuration in modern interface) took a similar delay to close.

                This issue is only affecting PA so far in Win 7 i.e. no other programs have this issue.

                Regards

                    If that was the only difference (you’d have to compare my reg file against default values) then yes. Never use the classic interface at all myself.

                    I have just checked with Vista and the issue is NOT present. Seems specific to Win7.

                      it might be something as weird as drivers for the graphics card. How fast does it close when you hit close in Classic interface?

                        Which PC do you want me to check…the one with Vista or the Athlon XP? The former is a Centrino Duo laptop.

                        Both have nVidia graphics chipsets. But how come only PA is affected by this and no other app at all? Don’t forget closing PA with the default values (on the Athlon)was only slightly faster than with the modern interfece…a noticeable delay is still present on closing.

                        I can also test on the slow starting Celeron which has an Intel integrated chipset.

                        Cheers

                          i doubt anything i can think of makes an difference right now, it has to be something very specific.

                          I was talking about one with Win7 that has the slowdown, that slowdown is not due to Win7 itself, it is combination of something. As I said, we ourselves have 10 computers running Win7 and Win7 has been quite popular with PA 2010 crowd as well.

                          What happens when you install PA 2009 on that same computer which has slowdown?

                            PA 2009 closed faster than 2010, about 3-4 secs.

                            I was talking about one with Win7 that has the slowdown,<<

                            The point I am trying to make is that EVERY PC that I try PA 2010 on has the slowdown (both on closing and getting out of dialogue boxes). It is just that the faster the PC, the less noticeable it is. My fastest PC is an Athlon 4800 x2 with 4GB of memory and the slowdown is still there, but hardly noticeable. If all your PCs are relatively modern, you won’t see it either.

                              i am not sure what you mean under slowdown - 12 seconds is an big issue and big bug, under 1 second is normal.

                              I notice no such slowdown on any of our Win7 computers, if I slow my cpu down so PA takes 7 seconds to start (instead of 2 regular seconds), i can hit X to close PA and there is no noticable slowdown i can see.

                              Is that slowdown that you notice only on Win7 or all ALL computers you have, all OS’s?

                              What other software do you have on those computers, do you use same AV on all of them?

                                Same AV on all, Kaspersky 2009 (XP and Vista) or Kaspersky Win 7 beta. The slowdown is only associated with Win7 and affects all my PCs. The faster the CPU the less of a slowdown there is. I mutliboot all my PCs. All my tests have been run on at least 2 OSs on each PC.

                                SOLVED. I disabled the AV on Win7 - no change. I uninstalled the AV, and NO delay anywhere anymore. As PA is the only program to be affected by this, perhaps a chat with the chaps at Kaspersky may be in order.

                                Cheers

                                  ah, there you go… good one. I knew it had to be something specific.

                                  What really sucks is that I quite often notice that disabling AV’s doesnt really disable them :).

                                      and also, if you could complain as an customer, that would be even better (we will also complain).

                                              It looks like the problem might have been solved in the next build, viz 8.0.0.1082
