Will PA 2022 still support windows 10 as majority of people can’t upgrade and won’t till 2025

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
I’ve found a bug when trying to test an encrypted, 28-volume 7-zip archive of a 18.3 GB folder containing 41,751 files. The test fails, showing errors in all files.
Here’s the folder I compressed, and the 28 resulting files:Archives
Here’s the multi-volume compressed file opened in PA, showing the total file count and the full archive size:Opened in PowerArchiver
And here’s the test results screen after I click Actions -> Test…, showing an incorrect file count and archive size (this seems to be the file size of the first volume alone):Testing results
One important detail about the test screen above is that PA opens an UAC prompt asking for privileged execution before starting the test. Is this the expected behavior? It seems PA wouldn’t need higher execution privilege since everything it’s touching is owned by my own user.
In any case, granting or denying the UAC prompt results in the exact same screen.
Now, if instead of testing the archive I tell PA to extract the contents, the operation works fine (and with no UAC prompts):Extracting
With the Properties panel for both folders, the original and the extracted one, showing the exact same file count and total size:Extract results
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi,
Currently on the 2021 20.00.55, updated, and licensed.
I have been facing this issue since 2019 version.
Queues don’t actually do anything
That I run powerarchiver starter as admin, or without admin.Then I queue some files, and most of the files take forever, to go from 1% to 2%
and let’s say if the 5th of total 10 files are stuck that should mean the other 4 should be completed, but no, the directories are just like that.
Using Queue feature makes the Powerarchiver to process and compress files, but the PA archives do no appear, neither the disk’s total used space changes.
However if I manually compress files without queuing, no matter if I run multiple compression or one by one, there’s always success.
sometimes compression is stuck at certain percentage for a 50 or 200 MB file, forever.
I want to speed up multiple compression, I find the batch compression feature useless, as I cannot configure any custom parameters or advanced option under PA archive format
So, Let me save parameters(Advanced Option) of Profiles
i) Either I should be able to customize PA Default profile, so I don’t have to select files and manually select profile, but not even single parameter can be saved
ii) Or I should be able to create a new profile and be able to set that as default.
It’s end of 2020 and I have been trying to reach Powerarchiver team to add this, but no one wants to listen or do anything.Refer case PA-FCW-TLNFM-096
I still cannot save parameters under advanced options like DDL/EXE filter to delta, or PNG PDF Filter, or set zlib to 9 or dictionary size or experimental stuff.
Soo many Revisions and versions released but I still cannot have a profile saved with whatever I want, be it existing or new profile.
Don’t you guys at Powerarchiver labs get frustrated everytime you have to configure these parameters manually?
When I stop an ongoing compression process, that is stuck or let’s say it’s not stuck but I click on cancel and then on No, it still continues compression for no reason.
If I start compression and pause, the progress bar shortly(progresses) reaches to completion, but no compression is done, and then archive is stuck forever
Just cancel itFor all my claims above I have sent ticket today with screenshots from my registered email.
if you can:
Batch archive is good idea, but if I have multiple directories inside directories, then I want first child directory to have all of it’s subdirectory compressed to that same first child directory
Example
I have a folder in D:\pics
that folder has following folder
Cats
Dogs
FishesEach of the above folder has sub folder:
Black
White
Fluffy
ColorfulI want those sub folders(black, white, colorful, fluffy) not to be compressed individually, but the cats, dogs and fishes folders to be compressed individually
-
The support doesn’t answer my email about a license question for weeks, because despite a lifetime license Powerarchiver refuses some functions

Dear PowerArchiver Team!
As I unfortunately found out, there is a big bug in Powerarchiver, which causes the compression rate to drop really significantly! I wonder if no one has noticed this yet? Are you guys still actively developing?
The following error occurs! (This is already as I find a blatant error!).ERROR:
File extensions and formats are not recognized automatically! If a file name e.g. Mütze.jpg is simply “renamed” in Mütze.txt, or
Mütze.png, Mütze.mp3, Mütze.pdf etc. each time a DIFFERENT compression algorithm is performed on the SAME FILE! Remember! The file extension was only renamed, so the file extension e.g. from .jpg to .txt is only by Rename changed! Just take a .jpg or .txt or .pdf file and change the file extension, you will see see this error! No headers are read automatically! Is this really wanted?Then the perfect compression algorithm can never be found and optimized by PowerArchiver? You should investigate this dramatic error once absolutely!Greetings from your trusty Konglomat!
Please stay healthy and make PowerArchiver more powerful than ever! I am looking forward to future updates! You are still awesome! Please keep up the good work! I love PowerArchiver, really more than just about anything!And will probably buy and use it for eternity!

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,
I thought, I’ll give it a try and upgrade my PA 2018 Toolbox on my production machine to PA 2021 (20.10.03)
Sending registration codes in your order recovery doesn’t seem to work at the moment (I also checked my junk folder), online activation works Using registry to disable modules (for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\PowerArchiverInt\General\DisableBurning) doesn’t work as expected with modern ui. The module is visible, but I’ll get the trial nag, if I try to open it. It’s almost fine in classic and ribbon mode.7989017c-3cd2-4a99-a1f6-06ce62329dec-image.png
“DisableClouds” and “DisableExplorer” seem not to be respected at all, while the classic UI seems to respect the setting to disable any other unused module:
In settings I won’t be able to access the SmartAI settings and the settings for the internal editor if the FTP module is disabled

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

When viewing a zip archive with .TGA image files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA) the file preview shows Unknown Picture File Extension (.tga).
Seems strange that such an old image file format is not supported. -
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.

Hello. My problem with Powerarchiver is as follows:
First of let me say that I am running a Windows 7 Starter edition on my Toshiba NB505 laptop. You can see my specs if you google it. Needless to say that it has very limited resources and has low ram and roughly 1.66 GHz Atom processor.I am currently using the latest version of PA. But mostly the tasks I do with it are create and uncompress zip files, as this comes in handy with my needs for compressing older files which I dont need. There is where it comes my issue with program and it is just that version after version it becomes harder for my computer to load and create zip files and 7zip ones. Needless to say that the same goes for zipx.
I have been using PA for a decade and its a good program but it is just that the current version has things which I don’t need or seldom use it, such as the preview file panel, and also the explorer tabs, skin customization and the nagging conexware update tool. Thus I was just asking, Does it exist a minimalistic version of PA or perhaps some ultra light version of it?. Something which it can be run on older computers.
Please don’t say to install an older version or going back to 2003, as well, this is not what I had in mind. I know that I could use the command line version but for me usng a GUI is more convenient. Regsrding compression speeds, I mostly use deflate for legacy zip files on the fast setting.
So far what I am doing is to set PA to use the classic skin windows view and while it does alleviate some of the lagging symptoms it doesn’t really seem to make the program to run or load faster.
Any help or advice on my problem?. By the way, I use the PRO version as that’s my current license. By the way, does PA has any pdf user’s manual or reference book? I see there are changes and numerous functionality that has been added but I have no clue on how to use it. I hope somebody could help me with that as well.

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.

Re: Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively
I’m sorry if the dev team is affected by pandemic, and if anyways that is affecting their quality to provide quality software.
But honestly, it’s been an year I have been complaining about the queue feature, it is taking them ages to fix.
referencing the above bug, I have been waiting patiently, but the bug isn’t fixed at all.
The old queuing bug where PA gets stuck randomly, isn’t fixed either.
The Bug where you keep 10-15 files in queue at once, will cause the software to miss few in queue.
and sometimes it would compress into a corrupt archive, so you have to manually open each archive and make sure everything is there as expected.
There’s way too many bugs, and I see none getting fixed.
I’m disappointed with this software.
I should have sticked to 7zip or given a shot to other archivers than this, at least they don’t provide update once in 4 months and fix nothing.

Is there any way to reset the compression profiles back to install default??

When viewing an archive I want to be able to preview the text files within the archive. In past versions, there was a preview pane on the right side of the screen. How do I enable this in the most recent version (20.10.02)?

Hi guys,
I have some mistakes today with PowerArchiver Installation with GPO.
I checked permissions of the share folder and I already installed some app from this.
I have downloaded 32b and 64b it’s the same problem.
App is on the install list of the GPO, but don’t install on the client. All app can be install but only powerachiver not. What the hell !So i tried :
Checked : security of share folder --> ok (install of other app ok!)
RSOP checked --> nothing special
(obviously force GPO, multiple reboot)Can you help me please ?

The speed is too high to show properly.
11.70.10

Where si the release info for 11.70.10. In particular a list of the fixes between 11.70.07 and 11.70.10. I don’t want a repeat of the total disaster that was 11.70.07.
-
what were the problems with 11.70.07 that you experienced? not many fixes or reported issues in these releases, but with patchbeam we can update quickly, but someone needs to report something!
-
11.70.07 couldn’t create ZIP files without giving error messages, something along the lines of can’t create file.
Windows XP SP3
-
@Brian:
11.70.07 couldn’t create ZIP files without giving error messages, something along the lines of can’t create file.
Windows XP SP3
that was probably something very specific, maybe bad install or something, as nobody reported it and we had it out for long time… please check with this version and let us know!
If it doesnt work, i promise we will fix it within a week! With patchbeam we can now issue fast updates, we dont need to wait because updates take only 1 second…
-
11.70.10:
Right click on “D:\This American Life” and choose Compress to “This American Life.zip”
The following two errors appear, though I now notice the ZIP file appears to have created anyway!?!?!?
The structure of the PowerArchiver software must be a real mess for these errors to occur and then it goes on to create the archive anyway.
-
Oh and has that stupid thing that’s been in the install program been fixed yet where it doesn’t shut down PASTARTER.EXE before upgrading so you end up with two of them running after upgrading. I’ve got so used to closing it manually before upgrading that I never remember to test if I still need to or not. It’s also a right pain that one isn’t offered the option of leaving all the options in the registry when uninstalling, this always causes me massive panic on the occasions when I upgrade and find I need to uninstall and go back to a previous version and find it’s all set up weirdly, not how I’m used to it.
-
does this happen with only that folder or only when root is D:\ or with any file anywhere?
as to the updates, we have new update system, it preserves all the settings and takes only an second or two to update.
-
does this happen with only that folder or only when root is D:\ or with any file anywhere?
I’ve gone back to 11.64.01 now but as far as I remember I tried a variety of locations with 11.70.07 and the errors always occurred.
as to the updates, we have new update system, it preserves all the settings and takes only an second or two to update.
But there are bound to be more occasions when I have to uninstall and go back to the previous version.
Will I be able to get a copy of the install exe as part of the update process or will I have to download it separately? -
you have to download it separately, from the website… updates are just patches now, usually a lot less than 1 MB in size… but if need be, you can always download it from our website.
-
did you try restarting your computer after installation? Maybe shell was not updated?
Anyone else with XP can chime in on this issue?
thanks!
-
tested here on XP, worked fine
-
Never seen this problem (zip file on 11.70.10).
However, I would like some clarification of the problem…a) “This American Life” - is this a file or folder or what?
b) D:\ - is this a second hard disk or partition or CD/DVD or what? (I tried single txt and single avi and both files to zip on USB drive F:\ with no problems) -
did you try restarting your computer after installation? Maybe shell was not updated?
thanks!Maybe not.
I should be able to try again soon. -
-
@Brian:
Maybe not.
I should be able to try again soon.also please check if it works in main PowerArchiver or not, that should tell us is it something related to shell extensions or not…
thanks!
-
Brian, did you have an chance to check this out? Thank you!
-
Sorry for delay. I’ve tried a few tests.
As always when I deviate from my normal usage patterns with PowerArchiver some more weird behaviour has shown up.1. Installing with the .exe setup file still leaves two PASTARTERs running!! I can’t believe this, it’s literally years since I first noticed this.
2. Rebooting after installation makes no difference to the original errors I reported (at the top of this thread).
3. Creating the archive from inside PA does not produce the errors I reported originally but I had a great deal of difficulty working out how to produce an archive from within PA. Pressing New, choosing the type I want and typing the name without .ZIP on the end (why would I type .zip when I’ve already said I want a .zip?) looks like it’s working but afterwards the archive isn’t there. Typing the name with the .zip does work however.
4. I noticed that if I already have PA running and open on my desktop and then right click a directory in a nearby explorer wiindow and choose “Compress to directory.zip” everything locks up and I have to use Task Manager to kill off two POWERARC.EXE processes before I can continue using my PC.
5. The Add files dialogue looks pretty odd, leading me at first to think it was corrupt but maybe it’s just designed really weirdly. I don’t like it anyway. See attachment.

there is nothing we can do in 1., that has been solved and Vista and above as they have Windows Restart Manager functionality which will close the PAStarter properly.
As to the other issues, can you send me please your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver key, zipped to support at conexware dot com. It could be something specific to the settings you have been using.
We will take an look then with your settings and see what the issue is!
thanks

Done.
It’s been assigned Ticket ID: 17249 -
Got it! Thank you, we will be doing some tests tomorrow.

It was due to normal relative path option, here is the fixed version, didnt have much time to test it yet:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2010/powarc117103.exeCan you please take an look and tell us if you can compress the folders now? Thanks!

I also see that you are avid PA user :). I liked your settings a lot.
Do you want to become our alpha tester? Maybe then issues like this would not happen :)
-
sorry to ask this but it seems you are trying to write to a cd or dvd am i right as d: is usually used for a cd or dvd drive that could be your problem as you dont have access to that drive.

He has already said that it’s his second HD.
@Brian:D: is my second internal hard drive.

Well it really would help if I gave proper link:

Yes that seems much better.
The original zipping a folder from right click menu giving spurious error messages problem is fixed.
I think

is fixed too.
Yes I could be an alpha tester as long as you don’t mind if I often don’t have time to do much testing.

Also, if the Add Files dialogue I didn’t like that way by design I’d urge you to at least move the ‘Remove’ button somewhat to the left so that the scroll arrows in the file list aren’t covered. At the moment it actually sticks out beyond the right hand edge of the file list.
Thanks.

We logged that, folder issue was priority… Happy New Year!
-
‘Overlapping buttons’ corrected nicely in 11.71.04.
Thank you. -
thank you for reporting it!

@Brian:
11.70.10:
Right click on “D:\This American Life” and choose Compress to “This American Life.zip”
The following two errors appear, though I now notice the ZIP file appears to have created anyway!?!?!?
The structure of the PowerArchiver software must be a real mess for these errors to occur and then it goes on to create the archive anyway.
Why is this bug back in version 12.00.49?
Are you deliberately trying to look incompetent?

we had some major changes to the zip engine as outlined in the blogs… what did you use previously, .41?
Also, please do not be rude. There is no reason to be rude.
thanks.

I only just managed to successfully upgrade from 11.71.
Sorry if I was rude I just resent it when I’ve paid for software and it gives me so much aggravation. It took me several hours to get V12 installed at all. When I used the downloaded setup exe I kept getting an incomprehensible message about patchbeam1000.exe not being marked for installation with no indication of why I should care about this fact. I wasted a whole afternoon with the previous V12 and gave up and reverted to V11.71. I only got V12.00.49 installed by letting patchbeam do it’s stuff but it took hours so in the end I just had to kill it and I found it pretty much worked but had actually installed V12.00.41 but I was able to let patchbeam take me to V12.00.49.
Bugs like this should not reappear. When the fix is done it should be commented in the code so that the same mistake won’t be made again.
Unless of course you never actually found out what was wrong and just fiddled around until, say, whatever stray pointer was causing corruption happened to corrupt something less vital.

in that case devs probably did not apply that specific fix to the 12.00 code base, as 11.xx was legacy code at that point and kept separate just for the purpose of fixes.
We started working on 12.00 maybe 14 months ago, at which point code bases were separated.
**we should have it running soon enough.
**I am not sure what are you saying about patchbeam - its installer did not want to install? Thats weird message to get, as it is rather simple and usually doesnt cause any problems unlike Windows Installer based installers. Do you have some kind of AV running or security software?

I think message about not marked for installation was from the exe installer trying to install over 11.71. Though I thought that was what patchbeam actually did in this case (going from V11.x to V12.x), but it used an older V12 exe.
I am using Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-malware.

please patchbeam to .50 and see if this behavior is now improved.
thanks!

Yes. Thanks. Zipping a folder but right clicking it and choosing compress to folder.zip now works without error messages.
It seemed to take two goes with patchbeam to get me from .49 to .50 though. Or maybe the message that patchbeam has finished just appears long before it’s actually finished.
