    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • Can't create PA files

      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

      G

      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

      G

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

      Here’s explaination:

      I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.

      It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.

    • PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe

      U

      I’ve been dealing with an intermittent explorer.exe crash for 5-6 years now. It happens randomly and will usually occur multiple times within a single session of an hour or two on my machine when manipulating files through Windows Explorer. explorer.exe is the only thing that ever crashes, so it’s not hardware IMO. I’ve done all hardware diagnostics and RAM is good. I’ve even swapped out motherboards with different brand and even the exact same one and it still crashes. sfc /scannow indicates system files are fine. I’ve done multiple reinstalls of the OS with no positive results. This crashing has happened on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit. It seemed to get more frequent with Windows 10 after upgrading last year. I’ve also been using PowerArchiver throughout that time period (upgrading over time with new releases). I recently disabled all non-Microsoft extensions via ShellExView and saw no crashes for about 10 days, which is really unusual. I turned back them all back on after 10 days and saw another explorer.exe crash within the hour. So I disabled all 32-bit extensions and saw another crash. Following that I disabled all the PowerArchiver shell extensions and haven’t seen a crash after a day of heavy usage manipulating files within Windows Explorer, which doesn’t happen for me. The crash dumps I’ve captured don’t seem to indicate PowerArchiver is involved but I have a hunch it has something do with PowerArchiver shell extensions. The system even feels smoother with the PA extensions disabled. Windows 10 reliability monitor always has the same type of problem:

      Description Faulting Application Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 10.0.17134.165 Application Timestamp: 4031a9f8 Fault Module Name: StackHash_e78e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: PCH_8D_FROM_ntdll+0x000000000009AA54 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 10.0.17134.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: e78e Additional Information 2: e78e327659b46c9a0c6916396b253cbf Additional Information 3: cebf Additional Information 4: cebf952c5db535ae7880488aafce55d9 Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 1a57e4e784fbc735c231c68bd88581a9 (1311047270476906921)

      I know this is a very nebulous explanation but is there any way to link this up to PA shell extensions as the cause? I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

        Totally agree. It would be nice if this was the first port of call (not twitter/fb etc) that has all the latest information. Other businesses can achieve it, so I am sure that it would not be difficult to PA to implement. :)

              I never said the website would be a higher Priority :) I just said that it was on the list of jobs being done, from what i have been told.

              The release of the Application is the highest priority as it is this that brings in an income.

                @pjb:

                Totally agree. It would be nice if this was the first port of call (not twitter/fb etc) that has all the latest information. Other businesses can achieve it, so I am sure that it would not be difficult to PA to implement. :)

                if anyone has some good examples of good software websites, post it here…

                … fb/twitter is excellet for quick one/two liners, you will never get that on home page.

                      awesome suggestions!

                      as to the left overs, forgot to remove them… not enough people visited from those countries (they usually download from their own download sites or mags). We do English and Deutsch in the house.

                        I like a lot VLC’s and Operas new sites, they look great.

                        I am not sure how do they interact more, i think level of our interaction via fb and twitter is all right and more than any other compression utility… xplorer2 has old school website and news section is updated 3 times per year :)

                        opera also doesnt interact with its users?

                          any other suggestions? I like utorrent.com… but keep in mind that all these are free products, we need something that mixes things up :).

                            Just my 2 cents: I have no problem with PA website except that the “latest news” often has nothing close to the latest news about release versions.

                            Alpha, Beta & RC info don’t need to (actually probably shouldn’t) go here, but kept in twitter and/or blog posts if you want to announce them to a wide group.

                            But the website should definitely have up-to-date and correct info about the release packages; this issue is really independent of a redesign.

                              Well, to be fair, xplorer site is updated, whenever there is an update, it’s a one-man show :D

                              Opera has lots of interaction…

                              • The website is updated regularly with news etc.
                              • User Forums
                              • Team “blogs” - DesktopTeam / Core Devs / JavaScript Team etc. for Alpha releases and Special Test
                              • Youtube (like PA)
                              • Opera devs have personal “Blogs” and “Twitter”.
                              • Only the “bug-tracking” is closed.
                              • Opera wasn’t always free (site was similar when paid for).

                              I do think PA is also good - just things like the “latest news” etc. is always out of date. This forum is one of the best, though (due to spwolf, mili and even ivan “popping in”).

                              It is hard to find a good “paid software” website.
                              And impossible to find an Compression/Archiver site I would even suggest you should look at :p

                                  :) I know buddy, no harsh feelings.

                                  I’ve had a hell of a week, Helped save a half a mill account from leaving my employer because of a fracking idiot account manager. Yet didnt receive one thanks!

                                  Then ended up having to reload 2 months of Sales Records due too the Idiots in ashford not checking the data from depots, and after all that to top it off some noob decided to change a customer’s hierarchy structure that then duplicated statistics per customer and THEN sent off stats off to them thus the customer invoiced us Twice the amount for a contracted rebate, of which we then had to tell them it was an error.

                                  Just one of them weeks!

                                        I need to write up an document with examples to the potential designers.

                                                  http://www.mediamonkey.com/ - too dark for my taste, but very good navigation structure, which is pretty similar to what PA would need
                                                  http://www.techsmith.com/ - design is a bit old school too, but the way they structure their navigation menu is pretty good.
                                                  http://www.helium-music-manager.com/ - pretty good site
                                                  http://www.piriform.com/ - nice and clean design

                                                        Avast did a very similar thing, now there site looks like this;

                                                        www.avast.com

                                                        its clean, fresh, colourful and has both Home & Business tabs, including community section.

                                                        The about us section also great, they give a clear friendly and pro aproach making people feel like they know the developers even more.

                                                        Because PowerArchiver is so focused and directional with their customers I would certainly suggest more detail on the developer’s, owners and possibly key Testers etc.

                                                        It also has History, something always nice to know when considering buying from companies you dont know much about.

                                                            i like it….

                                                              was anything decided on after this thread ?

                                                              general idea :-)
