Command line useage
-
Right, I’m not trying to extract multiples from the same folder.
Whats’ this PA starter?
PA starter is the PowerArchiver Queue.
If you did not enable it on install then it can be activated using the QUEUE under Options/Configuration menu. -
This is from the help file:
The problem is when I use POWERARC -es testrar.rar, it does not make the folder testrar and extract to it, instead it extracts to the current directory.
When extracting too many at the same time I get false extract errors. I just want to send extract commands to a simple gui for queued extraction. I’d prefer the gui remain visible when there’s a problem, and disappear when there isn’t. I think PA will do this….
…
This works: POWERARC -e testrar.rar c:\temp\test\testrar
This does not work POWERARC -e testrar.rar .\testrar
…
So I have the extract part working, but it is NOT queuing, it is opening a new window for each extract.
simply enable PA Queue option in Config> Queue… this is what you want!
-
The queue checkbox wont stay.
When I reopen the config menu, it’s unchecked.

i would like to see pacl intergrated into powerarchiver can be done irfanview has done it

you need to start PAStarter.exe, maybe you keep turning it off? It is responsible for running the queue.
-
It doesn’t queue even with the system-tray “always queue” checked.
What’s up with entering a Captcha every post?
-
keep in mind default minimum for queue is 9 MB, so try larger files or decrease the limit to 0.

(In config> queue)

(In config> queue)
Yes, that is what I used before. In the main interface, it’s Options, Configuration, Queue (std), “Always use queue”
It will not stay checked.
I check the box, press OK, Options, Configuration, Queue (std), and observe it is unchecked again.
Note that after doing this, the system-tray PA Starter Always-Queue option is now unchecked.
The “Don’t queue files smaller than” is set to 20mb.
Kinda buggy…
-
Also, the size option allows going below 9mb limit, right down to - #s.
-
what version of PA do you have? You can check in Help> About.
thanks!
-
11.63.12
-
I updated to 11.71.04 and it is now remembering when I check the box.
-
Now it prompts on every extract to agree to the terms.
And it does not queue.
-
yeah, free version doesnt have queue…
… what is supposed to happen is it should add files over 20 MB to the PAStarter Queue (you can see it there), and execute them sequentially (so no 10 at once, only 1 by 1).

It wasn’t queuing anyway.
And after I adjusted the minimum size from 20mb to 9mb, it doesn’t work from the prompt. It asks me twice to agree to the terms, then nothing.
OIC free version doesn’t have queue.
OIC free version doesn’t have queue.
OIC free version doesn’t have queue.
OIC free version doesn’t have queue.It should be grayed out then.

does it work when you do it via PA shell extension for instance?
-
The REGISTERED version does NOT queue from command line calls.
The program is buggy and should be free until it is out of alpha.

command line is not officially supported ever since PACL was out, which is why we did not test it forever now :-).
But we could add support in upcoming PA 2011.

Also make the cancel confirmation be “are you sure you want to cancel” instead of “do you really want to continue” because you are doing the reverse of the norm, which is irritating.
And don’t leave behind partially extracted files, which is the current default. This makes it look like the file was extracted when it really was not. This is probably an option, IDK and IDK, it should not be this way by default.
And finally, the options/conf buttons are arranged OK,CANCEL,HELP. This should be HELP,CANCEL,OK. Of course, you probably wont do this, but then I probably wont pay for such a mess.
