    • PowerArchiver 2022 Final does not find external DVD-Burner

      U

      I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
      I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
      I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
      With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
      The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
      Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?

    • PowerArchivier don't save Created and Accessed timestamp

      Quando creo un archivio zip con un altro programma ad esempio Winrar se apro il file con Winrar vi sono visualizzati anche le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      Se ottimizzo quel file zip con la funzione Ottimizza archivio di PowerArchivier (o creo un nuovo archivio) il file risultate non ha più le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      C’è una opzione per preservare questi dati? (Non l’ho trovata nelle impostazioni del programma e ho già abilitato le opzioni “salva info complete cartella” presente in “Profili di compressione”)
      /
      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      Is there an option to preserve this data? (I haven’t found it in the program settings and I have already enabled the “save complete folder info” options in “Compression Profiles”)

    • Unlisted pbs files

      pirrbe

      Upgraded from 2021 to 2022. Selecting ‘backup’ no scripts are showed. Only after editing and saving an existing script (explorer) it shows up in the PA backup folder.
      So is the ‘backup’ icon to open the Backup screen only for creating ‘new’ ones. This means that you have to open ALL your old pbs files and to save them again… not user friendly.
      No way to improve this ? Thank you.

    • Access violation with scaling > 100%

      Hi,

      I have a 31" 4K screen with 3840x2160 pixel, which PA is able to handle - except of a scaling other than 100%.
      When changing scaling for this screen to 125%, starting PA brings the following exception:

      Access violation at address 0000000..DF47A4 in module 'powerarc.exe'. Schreiben of address 0000...00330.

      After closing this message, PA seems to work fine.
      PA version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64bit (tested with Win 10 and after upgrade Win 11)

      Is there any chance to avoid this access violation or this message?

    • Problems with registry restrictions on PA 2021 and sending reg codes

      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.

      PA Queue does not compress file optimally with same parameters if used in Queue mode.

      Being able to save advanced option, and set a default profile and archive type for compression so I can save clicks.

      The above two are majorly affecting my efficiency with archiving stuff with PA 20.10.03.

    • PA Starter - CPU Overhead

      PA_Fan

      I’m running W10 Pro on an HP i-7 machine with now 32gb of RAM. The system drive is an SSD.

      In the course of sorting out some inconsistencies in a couple of my .pbs jobs, I’ve been paying close attention to the system CPU resource and power consumption of PA Starter, as shown by the various resource management tools. I’ve also been trying to identify why my system seems rather sluggish despite some extensive tuning for speed etc.

      When I have enabled Starter as a start-up programme, to use the PA Queue facility, I see that Starter consistently uses between 10-13% of CPU, with High Power consumption indicated. It runs, consuming this resource, irrespective of what may be happening with PA and any pbs script jobs.

      I can understand a need to use a good chunk of CPU when Starter is actually handling PA jobs, but it shouldn’t sit and consume this amount when it really isn’t doing anything but wait for a job to start and for which it is needed.

      Perhaps I’ve missed a way of lessening Starter’s impact, but in the meantime I’ve adjusted my set-up to running PA without it.

      Suggestions, please.

      I recently installed Power Archiver 9.11 on a fresh install of XP SP2 to try it out. I really like the program, but don’t seem to be able to trust it.
      For some reason, when I select a group of folders to compress (each containing a few small files), Power Archiver creates a zip file containing the folders in question, but none of them contain the actual files. The first time it happened I thought I’d just made some sort of error, but now I have a group of folders on which I can constistently duplicate the problem. Yet any other groups of folders I try to compress seems to work fine.
      I’ve tried moving the particular folder group to the root of the drive and compressing them from there, but it didn’t seem to make any difference. I have found that if I right click on the root folder (the one containing all the sub folders), then Power Archiver compresses everything fine. However if I navigate into the root folder, select all the sub folders, then right click to create a zip file, Power Archiver creates a zip file containing the folders but none of the files they contain. There’s about 65 folders that I’m trying to compress, but they all contain pretty small files. I’ve even tried just selecting a few of them but the problem still exists. What I’m finding really hard to understand is that I can consistently reproduce the problem on this one group of folders, yet for the moment everything else I try to compress seems to work fine.

      Hopefully I explained all that well.
      Has anyone else experiences this behaviour?

      Thanks,
      Darren

        Okay, just as I was hitting the submit button on the above post I developed a theory. I’ve tested it and now seem to think I’ve found the bug, but if someone else could test it out too that would be great.
        The group of folders I was trying to compress were all named after the version of the files they contained. So each folder was called something like “Program.1.3.5”. I can only assume that the “.” in the file name is causing Power Archiver to treat the folders as files, and it therefore doesn’t look inside them. To confirm this theory I renamed a few of them, removing the version number so there were no "."s in the name. I then recompressed the group of folders and sure enough, all the ones I’d renamed contained files but none of the rest did.
        So for now I know not to use Power Archiver, and I’ll have to walk away from the computer for a while so I can come back to it in a less distressed state, when hopefully I’ll be in a better frame of mind to sort out all the files I’ve lost since installing it. :-(

          the best thing you can do is share those folders with us, uploading them on the web, so that we may download them and look about the problem.

            There shouldn’t be a need for that. It’s a pretty simple bug to reproduce.
            Just create a couple of folders. Call one “test.01” and the other “test.02”
            Stick a couple of files in each folder. Now select both folders and compress them from the right click menu. The resulting zip file will contain the folders, but the folders won’t contain any files. Now rename the folders to “test” and “testing”. Compress them again and everything will be fine.

            I’ve uninstalled 9.11 and installed 9.1
            Run the tests again and the bug is no longer present.

            Although……
            I was testing the folders on the root of my C drive. When compressing them with the older version (9.1), it insisted in trying to include the hyberfil.sys file in the archive, even though it wasn’t selected. But that’s another story…

              YOU ARE RIGHT! :eek:
              I could reproduce the bug.

              So, PA fails to include any files in folders named with a point in their name, but just when compressing to ZIP.
              I tried to compress to other types like CAB, 7Z, BH and all worked fine.
