    Request for SFX Support.
    J
    We have a need to create SFX files by way of scripts. Once applications are compiled, installers created, post process installer built that chains installers, batch scripts, reg scripts together, we need to package it up into one single executable for easy distribution for techs. Power Archiver allows us to do this by way of the SFX Wizard. However, it will quickly become time consuming, difficult, and impractical for us to manually do this process with the wizard for all of the installation scenarios, especially when a change occurs. It is my understanding this option has been discussed before but was declined to be added to PACL. Can this option be revisited? Other possibilities… PowerAcrhiver.exe does support limited command line arguments with an option to make an SFX from a compressed filed. However, it is missing all of the SFX options such as starting executable, destination folder, relative path options… The SFX Wizard already generates text containing a summary of most of the configuration settings. It would be easy enough for a user to copy the text, save it as a configuration file and pass the file name as an argument into PowerArchiver.exe. This would allow an easy mechanism to get predefined information into Power Archiver without adding a million switches.

    PACL for Linux
    MickeM
    Hi! Like the title says, I would like to have PACL for Linux. I don’t mind if I would have to buy a separate license for a Linux version. I know that the odds for having a Linux version of PACL is very low, but it’s still a wish from my side. Kind Regards Micke

    PA installation checkboxes
    S
    When we save settings, some are not saved. I know whenever I update i have to do various tweaks to get PA back in the same order. What doesn’t get saved? I know the items on and the location of the QAT is not saved. It seems, too, that there are others . . . maybe some shell extensions; even some basic GUI features (whether queue is on; whether PA is pinned; whether preview is on). Indeed, the latter three are not always on, even when I check the appropriate boxes during installation. Could you expand the number of settings saved? That would be nice (but maybe unduly complex to execute).

    Reiterating
    S
    There are several requests I have offered several times. Perhaps there are technical reasons why you cannot do any of these. But let me offer them again. They all concern AC: I standardly get 2-3 acknowledgments of an AC download. Perhaps some of that is caused because some people have their email forwarded from one server to another . . . so the download notification gets keyed by each server. could you please note that the time you are using for download time – so that users will know that the time listed is 5-8 hours off that of US users? could you give users a way (a) to delete all AC filenames, and (b) to show us which files are still active for download? Actually, I would prefer that AC delete file names once their download date has passed. This would make AC more attractive (unless, for cost reasons, you would prefer not to make it more attractive – which I would regret, but understand).

    Runable on all platforms

    I am new to your application and do like what you have done. There have been postings asking if you have any intent to build your application for platforms other than Windows. I have the same question but will offer a possible solution. If you code utilizing HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript it would be runnable on any platform natively. As an example Google packaged applications. Don’t get me wrong as I do not think it a trivial task but at the same time find it might be worthwhile. Thank for listening.

    Ability to add large number of files + new zip-format

    Remove many files from Archive with one command
    MickeM
    Hi! I’m doing some tests with list files in PACOMP and the documentation about this says the following thing. @list : specify list of files for compression (use filename instead of list - see example) I assume this means that I can only use a list file when I create a archive using the -a parameter. I have tried this: pacomp -d Test_Remove.zip @Filelist.txt Archive: D:\Script\Test_Remove.zip preparing to compress… *** WARNING: Nothing to add or update… All OK The error probably appears because I can only use a list file when I create the archive and not when delete files from it. Now I can remove one file at a time, but if the Archive is about 1 Gb in size, it will take a lot of time updating the archive after removing one file. It would be better if I could have a list of files that I wanted to remove from the archive. That way I could for example remove 10 files at one time and then update the archive instead of remove 1 file at a time and update the archive 10 times in total. If each update of the Archive takes approximate 5 min, then it would take about 50 min to remove 10 files from an Archive that is 1 Gb in size. If I could remove the 10 files at one time instead, then the whole update would take 5 min instead of 50 min. My question is this: Is it possible to remove more than one file at a time from an archive using PACL? If not, I’ll put it in a Wishlist for future versions of PACL. Kind Regards Micke

    Need Additional Command Line Arguments
    W
    Here’s the thing. I need to automate the process of locating a file, compress to a .ZIP, then to convert that to a SFX self-extracting file that is configured to extract to a specific folder on the user’s computer. To ‘partially’ automate this, I have done the following. 1. Create a BATCH file. The command lines are… To create the ZIP file, I am using the PACL program called PACOMP. To create the SFX file, I’m calling the POWERARC -tosfx command. 2. After running the BATCH, I have to manually edit the destination folder, assign ‘overwrite’ option, etc. I would think that it would not be difficult to add additional ‘args’ for powerarc.exe so that these settings can be included on the command line (and thus in my batch file to completely automate this). This process is something I must do regularly, so having the ability to do this via the command prompt (batch file) would be really, really nice. Thanks. Webbiz :)

    Support for large archives
    A
    There was a time when 4 GB was considered to be more than enough. Since I’m using PACL to back up different folders on my laptop, it is now becoming a limitation that needs to be adressed. I’ll hope the next version of PACL will be similar to WinZip Command Line Support Add-On. I’m using it at work and it has full support for making archives larger than 4 GB and I think it’s faster than PACL.

      Hello!
      I’ve tested removing files from an archive using a listfile, but it still doesn’t work.

      Tested with PACL 7.00 RC1.

      Is this something that will be fixed in 7.00?

      Right now it’s not possible to remove more than one file at a time from an archive using PACL. This is a big limitation of the program.

      Kind Regards
      Micke

        @spwolf:

        Try with PACL 6.02 and lets see what happens :)

        I’m just curious if you have plans to implement support for removing more than one file at a time from an archive using PACL? It’s not working in 6.02 and when testing in 7.00 RC1, the result is the same as in 6.01 and 6.02.

        Kind Regards
