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

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.

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?

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).

Hi,
I just saw, that on the Website, PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.73 is advertised as latest version. (Actually, the downloaded version says, it’s 20.00.70 in the about dialog)
But it still comes with the “red icon set” for preview versions and has some known unfixed bugs, as I read here.Is it sufficiently stable to be used on production systems?
Kind regards

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.

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,
After the batch archiving is complete, and if I click on whitespace of the PA app, I get this error.

I did check for ongoing process and ensured no archives were corrupt, It seems like activity did complete successfully but the error is shown for no reason, and only after clicking the whitespace.
Please see if this can be removed.

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.
-
If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.
Here’s explaination:
https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink
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.
Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

Hello!
I am using the portable version of PA2021. After switching from build 58 to 73 I have problems with the color-scheme:
While 58 behaves like expected and showed everything in light or dark colors according to the settings, 73 always shows the lower part of the window in dark colors, no matter whether I select automatic, light or dark.
This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?
Thanks for help!

Hi.
I currently own the PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English license.
This license is active on 1 device. Does the license allow me to activate PowerArchiver on a second device that I own? Or do I need a separate license for that?
Thank you ! :)

Hello!
While the installable version of PA 2021 has already received two updates and is at version 20.0.73 the portable version still remains at the initially released build 58. Are there plans to update that version, too?
Thanks for a reply! -
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:

I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

Just to update release “date”, it will be released within 10 hours from now… so please stay a bit more patient… thank you!
-
Once again, let me double bold this:
**
IMPORTANT NOTE
There is NO forced upgrade for anyone to Toolbox.So please do not get mad at us for something we did not do :-).**Meaning above new versions do not restrict people who purchased before from using features in new version.
If you purchased PA 200x which had Outlook plugin inside, and this current license for PA 2011 does not, you WILL still have Outlook plugin!

PowerArchiver 2011 was released but the Toolbox version is still not available to purchase or upgrade? Will it take another few hours for the store to be reconfigured?
-
My PowerArchiver 2011 Pro Legacy key doesn’t appear to be working. It restarts after I enter the key but shows the nag screen again.
My PowerArchiver 2011 - Personal key works fine though.Also, I don’t see the option to upgrade to the toolbox in my account either.
-
My Pro Legacy key is working, please check the key for typing errors or try copy and paste.
-
Same here, no issues with the Pro key.
-
We do ask you to check Toolbox offer and support PowerArchiver development if you can!
I will support the development of PA as soon as the option(s) appear(s) in my account. :D
-
Is the PA 2010 Pro key from a lifetime licence also working with PA 2011 Pro or do you need a new key?

Yes

I just upgraded to PowerArchiver 2011 Toolbox from my account? Why does the About PowerArchiver box show PowerArchiver 2011 Toolbox Edition Business instead of PowerArchiver 2011 Toolbox Edition Personal? Previously I had PowerArchiver 2011 Professional Personal with my Pro Legacy key. Is there a way fix this issue?
-
I also just upraded to PA2011 Toolbox and the about box says “… Toolbox Edition Personal…”, so no problem for me after upgrading.
Btw. the download links for the Toolbox upgrades provided in “my account” do not work, I get a “The page you requested was not found” error.
I think to URL is wrong, with adding a “1” after RC the URL works. -
You’re correct.
As an alternate, you could just use the link on Power Archiver download page.
-
Spywolf, why is the about box showing “… ToolBox Edition Business …” instead of “… Toolbox Edition Personal …” even though I purchased a single user pack upgrade for home use on my own PC.
-
is a 5-pack toolbox upgrade the most you are doing? Seems weird to have to buy 3 5-packs instead of just a single 15 user license. I certainly don’t want 15 different codes. How are you handling your volume pro users on the toolbox upgrade?
-
I only purchased one single-pack upgrade with the quantity set to one in the cart and received one registration code but the about box still shows business, not personal. I did not install BitDefender since I already have Microsoft Security Essentials and having two or more antivirus programs can cause conflicts.

Hi Keith,
thanks for upgrading… No need to overthink it as Toolbox does not have Personal/Business versions, just single version (it is not meant for companies). We will adjust the text in RC2.
thanks!

There will be 10 pack as well for Toolbox users, this is due to how AV licensing works.

The toolbox edition sounds interesting.
Is there a download link to a ‘trial’ version avail?
Also if purchased are you given a direct download link as I don’t see one currently on the accounts or download page.Thanks.
-
<puts on="" scottish="" accent="">
There can be only one download!It’s the license code that determines the flavour.
So the Release Candidate link on the “normal” download page is the trial version, if you want to think of it like that.</puts> -
When going to upgrade to Toobox, the page that summarizes what’s in the cart has this wording:
Personal/Small Business License - Free lifetime upgrades, applied automatically to all orders of 5 or less licenses. Applicable to home or small business users with license totals of 5 or less.
I think it should be made clear that this doesn’t apply to the BitDefender portion (I assume that BitDefender will require an annual fee).
The same should go on http://www.powerarchiver.com/order/ when PA 2011 gets past RC stage, of course.

I know that the file on the downloads page goes between Standard and Pro. I have now tested it on my tst pc without a Serial Number thus in Trial mode, it gives all the features of the pro version but noting to do with the BitDefender portion of Toolbox.
To therefore test BitDefender is it a case of going to the BitDefender site downloading the trial of internet security from there, and then if liking it and wanting to go down the powerarchiver toolbox route, (thereafter purchase of toolbox) entering in the licence code for PowerArchiver Toolbox into that trial of BitDefender?
Don’t get me wrong I see where the integration seems to be going but I don’t see the BitDefender aspects currently intregarated with the product, such as they are with for Example: Acronis Backup & Security http://www.acronis.co.uk/homecomputing/products/backup-security/ Which integrates BitDefender directly within the product, and one single download.
Not having a dig etc, just seeking some clarification as the how it integrates with PowerArchiver 2011 or if it (BitDefender) in it’s entirety is a standalone application non intregarated into PowerArchiver 2011 of which the PowerArchiver Toolbox Licence Code actives BitDefender.
Any clarification greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

we will be sending upgrade offers via email tomorrow so you will see the pricing.
Have the emails been sent yet?
If so I’ve not received one. I even looked in my spam folder in case it had been mistakenly flagged as spam and it’s not there either. :( -
haven’t seen spwolf around for several hours ‘Lux’…nothing in my email all day but I expect it there when I surface tomorrow…:)

Hi, I was thinking more of the BitDefender portion, as I don’t think that is not included in the download page, within the 9,164 KB file.

OK. Yes, they are separate products.
To trial PowerArchiver, download from this site (as you have done).
To trial Bitdefender, as you say, you can download from their site - the 2011 Internet Security version.When/if you’re happy, then purchase the appropriate PowerArchiver license.
If you go for the Toolbox (including Bitdefender) then
@spwolf:links come in the registration email you get… We have English and German BitDefender IS 2011.
So I guess you would have to unistall the trail of Bitdefender and use the provided link to install the licensed version.

@ TBGBe, Thanks for the clarification, that is as I expected. I did try bitdefender when beta testing one of the acronis products, as that was bundled with it. I have now downloaded bitdefender on my test machine to see how it fares :) Thanks.

I didn’t receive an Email either, but you can log into “My Account” and you will have the upgrade options and the prices there (including discounts, of cause).
Is the Bitdefender version downloaded with the PA-downloader any different from the BitDefender downloaded directly at their site?

It is version customized for us, so it is different to that extent (it shows our support info and downloads updates from our servers).

we didnt want to make PowerArchiver 300 MB download :-).
Also, our version is one from few weeks ago, they had rather large update.

Thanks, but we all know.
Just “playing” with spwolf, as he said there would be emails.
:rolleyes:Oh I dunno about that.
I was promised an email and I’m feeling very neglected not getting one. :p -
spwolf I have a question.
When I go to my account and click on PowerArchiver Toolbox International - 1 license pack w/ BitDefender then click on upgrade, it shows quantity 2. I know I can change it to 1 but I’m curious why it defaults to 2. -

That makes sense, that’s what it will be.
PA2001 & PA2009 are my purchased licenses so that would account for that. -
Oh I dunno about that.

edit: and are still using PA! 10 years coming up very soon!

I was using the free version before then. :)
When would that be? 1998/99 -

1999 it would be then. :)

Why can’t new customers purchase the Toolbox edition from the Buy Now link on the website at the price shown on the nag screen?
-
Possibly because it is (still) a Release Candidate?
Those links are still PA2010
-
Do you plan to make BitDefender optional in PowerArchiver 2011 Toolbox once PowerArchiver 2011 is officially released due to the annual cost of the third party BitDefender subscription license?
-
Not quite sure what you are asking. If you are asking for “cheaper” Toolbox without Bitdefender, then that is not available.
If not that, I think you should reread the initial post/blog from spwolf.
My understanding is:-
If you want Toolbox, then Bitdefender License is included. It is an option so:
a) If you don’t want Bitdefender, you don’t have to install it.
b) You can use Bitdefender for 1 year and then decide not to re-license - updates are included.
c) If you like it, then relicensing is with Bitdefender not PA.If you feel Bitdefender is “not worth it” (for any reason) and also that also Toolbox is “not worth it” without Bitdefender, then you can take the PowerArchiver Pro route.
Remember, this only applies to new customers, if you already have PowerArchiver 2010 Pro, then you get the update to PowerArchiver as normal (now called Pro Legacy) - without Bitdefender.

terry right, although you can renew toolbox with us to get the bitdefender, not with BD directly.

So Toolbox will need renewing :confused:

if you want yearly license for BD, yes… if not, then not.

Will there be an automatic renewal option for the BD component in the account that will rebill the credit card annually? Most AV vendors auto-renew the subscription to avoid service interruption.

i am not sure yet, but if there was, there will also certainly be an notice few days ahead in the email.

Why does the nag screen in PowerArchiver 2011 trial mode show $149.95 MSRP for Toolbox along with the current sale price of $49.95.
-
it is “value of” vs the actual price.
-
Is the PowerArchiver customized version of BitDefender older than the retail version of BitDefender? Are updates also older? Is it also an OEM version for PowerArchiver customers only?

apsolutely not, it is latest version with latest updates, bitdefender updates more than 10 times per day…. if you have more questions, it would be better to open up another thread so we dont crowd this one as people will have hard time getting the info they care about.
