@davidsplash: could we have a better recovery solution to archives. The zip recovery is not as effective as some of pas rivals. How about using par2 format in program when creating archives to aid recovery of archive I am keen for this to be expanded on! Anything that brings PA up to the level other brands are on is a good thing and its relating to archive’s so its not like were going off track.

I would like powerarchiver to suggest the best possible archive format to archive files in. I dont even mind if it suggests putting all files in different archive formats as long as i get the best possible arche compression. And if this can be done by clicking yes it would be a great help.

Okay no problem, thank you for looking into it. With the proliferation of multi core CPUs, anything that uses more cores will be a boon.

@TBGBe: Coomand line version (PACL) can do all that My request/wish was of course a request for the GUI…:rolleyes: BTW, unfortunately, command line suffers from the same big limitation than the GUI: “-r” works only if we use . as file selection. It is not possible to use wildcards (for instance “*.log”) and “-r” I’m currently doing all this via script and command line, but aggregate all this in PA would be nice and easier.

@fullbugg: While I am not new to archiving I am new to PowerArchiver. So far I am enjoying the abilities and working with the software but there is one feature that I would truly like to see added. When creating an archive and adding the delete source folder option being able to perform a test of the archive before deleting the source would be helpful. If this feature is already present I am unable to locate it. with ZIP format, there is an option of Action: Move, which basically deletes original files once they have been compressed. Please check it out and let us know if it works as intended. Thank you!

@Ricco: Or it is caused by the programming language used? PA is developed using Delphi and I think xxxRAR is written in C/C++. Generally C/C++ compiles code smaller than Delphi does. It could be the reason. WinRAR is developed using C++ Builder and Windows API instead of VCL and many 3rd party components.

Thought. Since you cannot just remove a password . . . the file has to first be decrypted to get to the raw data, the simplest solution might be to add an option to the archive convert dialogue – an option to encrypt (or not encrypt) the new archive.

This doesn’t seem to be working in 18.01.04 anymore? I just opened a zip file and the folder tree was collapsed again. Just to be clear, archive opens up in “Archive Mode”, I’m using “Explorer View”. I’d expect to get the result on the right side, but actually I see the tree collapsed as on the left side: I think it worked fine in 18.01.03
