Will PA 2022 still support windows 10 as majority of people can’t upgrade and won’t till 2025

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
I’ve found a bug when trying to test an encrypted, 28-volume 7-zip archive of a 18.3 GB folder containing 41,751 files. The test fails, showing errors in all files.
Here’s the folder I compressed, and the 28 resulting files:Archives
Here’s the multi-volume compressed file opened in PA, showing the total file count and the full archive size:Opened in PowerArchiver
And here’s the test results screen after I click Actions -> Test…, showing an incorrect file count and archive size (this seems to be the file size of the first volume alone):Testing results
One important detail about the test screen above is that PA opens an UAC prompt asking for privileged execution before starting the test. Is this the expected behavior? It seems PA wouldn’t need higher execution privilege since everything it’s touching is owned by my own user.
In any case, granting or denying the UAC prompt results in the exact same screen.
Now, if instead of testing the archive I tell PA to extract the contents, the operation works fine (and with no UAC prompts):Extracting
With the Properties panel for both folders, the original and the extracted one, showing the exact same file count and total size:Extract results
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi,
Currently on the 2021 20.00.55, updated, and licensed.
I have been facing this issue since 2019 version.
Queues don’t actually do anything
That I run powerarchiver starter as admin, or without admin.Then I queue some files, and most of the files take forever, to go from 1% to 2%
and let’s say if the 5th of total 10 files are stuck that should mean the other 4 should be completed, but no, the directories are just like that.
Using Queue feature makes the Powerarchiver to process and compress files, but the PA archives do no appear, neither the disk’s total used space changes.
However if I manually compress files without queuing, no matter if I run multiple compression or one by one, there’s always success.
sometimes compression is stuck at certain percentage for a 50 or 200 MB file, forever.
I want to speed up multiple compression, I find the batch compression feature useless, as I cannot configure any custom parameters or advanced option under PA archive format
So, Let me save parameters(Advanced Option) of Profiles
i) Either I should be able to customize PA Default profile, so I don’t have to select files and manually select profile, but not even single parameter can be saved
ii) Or I should be able to create a new profile and be able to set that as default.
It’s end of 2020 and I have been trying to reach Powerarchiver team to add this, but no one wants to listen or do anything.Refer case PA-FCW-TLNFM-096
I still cannot save parameters under advanced options like DDL/EXE filter to delta, or PNG PDF Filter, or set zlib to 9 or dictionary size or experimental stuff.
Soo many Revisions and versions released but I still cannot have a profile saved with whatever I want, be it existing or new profile.
Don’t you guys at Powerarchiver labs get frustrated everytime you have to configure these parameters manually?
When I stop an ongoing compression process, that is stuck or let’s say it’s not stuck but I click on cancel and then on No, it still continues compression for no reason.
If I start compression and pause, the progress bar shortly(progresses) reaches to completion, but no compression is done, and then archive is stuck forever
Just cancel itFor all my claims above I have sent ticket today with screenshots from my registered email.
if you can:
Batch archive is good idea, but if I have multiple directories inside directories, then I want first child directory to have all of it’s subdirectory compressed to that same first child directory
Example
I have a folder in D:\pics
that folder has following folder
Cats
Dogs
FishesEach of the above folder has sub folder:
Black
White
Fluffy
ColorfulI want those sub folders(black, white, colorful, fluffy) not to be compressed individually, but the cats, dogs and fishes folders to be compressed individually
-
The support doesn’t answer my email about a license question for weeks, because despite a lifetime license Powerarchiver refuses some functions

Dear PowerArchiver Team!
As I unfortunately found out, there is a big bug in Powerarchiver, which causes the compression rate to drop really significantly! I wonder if no one has noticed this yet? Are you guys still actively developing?
The following error occurs! (This is already as I find a blatant error!).ERROR:
File extensions and formats are not recognized automatically! If a file name e.g. Mütze.jpg is simply “renamed” in Mütze.txt, or
Mütze.png, Mütze.mp3, Mütze.pdf etc. each time a DIFFERENT compression algorithm is performed on the SAME FILE! Remember! The file extension was only renamed, so the file extension e.g. from .jpg to .txt is only by Rename changed! Just take a .jpg or .txt or .pdf file and change the file extension, you will see see this error! No headers are read automatically! Is this really wanted?Then the perfect compression algorithm can never be found and optimized by PowerArchiver? You should investigate this dramatic error once absolutely!Greetings from your trusty Konglomat!
Please stay healthy and make PowerArchiver more powerful than ever! I am looking forward to future updates! You are still awesome! Please keep up the good work! I love PowerArchiver, really more than just about anything!And will probably buy and use it for eternity!

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,
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.7989017c-3cd2-4a99-a1f6-06ce62329dec-image.png
“DisableClouds” and “DisableExplorer” seem not to be respected at all, while the classic UI seems to respect the setting to disable any other unused module:
In settings I won’t be able to access the SmartAI settings and the settings for the internal editor if the FTP module is disabled

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

When viewing a zip archive with .TGA image files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA) the file preview shows Unknown Picture File Extension (.tga).
Seems strange that such an old image file format is not supported. -
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.

Hello. My problem with Powerarchiver is as follows:
First of let me say that I am running a Windows 7 Starter edition on my Toshiba NB505 laptop. You can see my specs if you google it. Needless to say that it has very limited resources and has low ram and roughly 1.66 GHz Atom processor.I am currently using the latest version of PA. But mostly the tasks I do with it are create and uncompress zip files, as this comes in handy with my needs for compressing older files which I dont need. There is where it comes my issue with program and it is just that version after version it becomes harder for my computer to load and create zip files and 7zip ones. Needless to say that the same goes for zipx.
I have been using PA for a decade and its a good program but it is just that the current version has things which I don’t need or seldom use it, such as the preview file panel, and also the explorer tabs, skin customization and the nagging conexware update tool. Thus I was just asking, Does it exist a minimalistic version of PA or perhaps some ultra light version of it?. Something which it can be run on older computers.
Please don’t say to install an older version or going back to 2003, as well, this is not what I had in mind. I know that I could use the command line version but for me usng a GUI is more convenient. Regsrding compression speeds, I mostly use deflate for legacy zip files on the fast setting.
So far what I am doing is to set PA to use the classic skin windows view and while it does alleviate some of the lagging symptoms it doesn’t really seem to make the program to run or load faster.
Any help or advice on my problem?. By the way, I use the PRO version as that’s my current license. By the way, does PA has any pdf user’s manual or reference book? I see there are changes and numerous functionality that has been added but I have no clue on how to use it. I hope somebody could help me with that as well.

Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.
pa-convert-zip-1.jpg
pa-convert-zip-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

Re: Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively
I’m sorry if the dev team is affected by pandemic, and if anyways that is affecting their quality to provide quality software.
But honestly, it’s been an year I have been complaining about the queue feature, it is taking them ages to fix.
referencing the above bug, I have been waiting patiently, but the bug isn’t fixed at all.
The old queuing bug where PA gets stuck randomly, isn’t fixed either.
The Bug where you keep 10-15 files in queue at once, will cause the software to miss few in queue.
and sometimes it would compress into a corrupt archive, so you have to manually open each archive and make sure everything is there as expected.
There’s way too many bugs, and I see none getting fixed.
I’m disappointed with this software.
I should have sticked to 7zip or given a shot to other archivers than this, at least they don’t provide update once in 4 months and fix nothing.

Hi guys,
I have some mistakes today with PowerArchiver Installation with GPO.
I checked permissions of the share folder and I already installed some app from this.
I have downloaded 32b and 64b it’s the same problem.
App is on the install list of the GPO, but don’t install on the client. All app can be install but only powerachiver not. What the hell !So i tried :
Checked : security of share folder --> ok (install of other app ok!)
RSOP checked --> nothing special
(obviously force GPO, multiple reboot)Can you help me please ?

Hi,
Thank you for using the forum’s to report this bug. I beleave this is something the development team & alpha team have been working on. But it’s good to know that the issue is being experienced outside the alpha team.
for now try downloading the latest version 12.02.02 and let us know if you still experience the same issues.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha120/powarc120202.exe
To be on the safe side, i would also recommend you uninstall PA, reboot and then install the latest version from a clean start.
If you have any error messages, please include screen shots. however, from what we know the system just doesnt recognise or respond so you can screen shot that :)
Cheers again! and merry Christmas! PS: I like your system specs and computer designs!!

Do you have PAVD installed (Virtual Drive?). It also installs special SPTD drivers that will be able to access your drives via custom drivers (if something has messed up your standard SPTI Windows driver).

inpot a 1.57gig DVD, opened PA>Burner>Copy Disc to ISO, the Image Grabber appeared immediately and “grabbed” the DVD into ISO.
My system is very similar to yours……I would check the settings that spwolf recommended.
-
Thanks all for the replies.
I do have PAVD installed, and that mounts my ISO’s just fine.
I will try using a different disc,
Also I have no issues creating an ISO from my HDD.
As I just dragged all my files from the DVD to my HDD and created an ISO then mounted it as G: DVD drive no issues. -
maybe copy protected DVD?
Make sure you go to Settings and change to SPTD drivers instead of Autodetection (PA Config> Misc).
-
It’s an old game but I have copies of the disc that work.
I’ll check the settings you suggestions.I’ll try some more tonight
-
Ok, I tried a totally differnt disc, and so far it is grabbing the image,
the dialog appered, but is very touchy, When I switched windows I lost the Grabber Dialog, but got it back.
Then when I went to move the dialog, Windows gave me a (Not Respondeing) however it recovered…
Image Was Sucessfull….Here is the Screenshot of my issue using the disc in question.
I have changed the settings to (Auto Detect)
the options available are:- Auto Detect
- SPTD
- SPTI
- ASPI
It appears there is only major problem with this disc,
It does not appear to be copy protected as I have made a backup.Even weirder this is not a DVD, it is a 700MB CD copy, the original has
I assumed it was a DVD, die that when I dragged the files to HDD it was 1.18GB,
but the disc itself is under 700MB.
This is either a problem with the disc, or issues with 700MB CD’s, I’ll do some more testing…
Thank’s for the replies, it is very appreciated.
the reason for this adventure is we can mount CD’s /DVD’s and virtual drives, and not have to insert a disc to play each game.
When I get this all figured out, I will do a tutorial, and recomend PowerArchiver to handle the job…

I went ahead and made a video of the issue.
It is only CD specific, no issues with DVD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XaimFV-Do0Also the mounted drive does NOT seem to work with games that require a DVD in the drive to play. I have to actually put the DVD in to get it to work. I have even tried renaming the drive to D:/ but still does’nt work.
I forgot to mention that when selecting SPTD, I do get a dialog, but drive does not appear.
Also that others are doing this and having the same isuues.

Thanks for posting the video!
Does the same thing happen if you enter ANY CD in the drive?
What is the longest you waited for before turning the program off?
You should be able to just press the “Open” button on your DVDrom drive and the disc tray should open up, without you having to turn your computer on or off, does that work?Also, lets try this…after entering the disc and Image grabber working in the task bar, open the Task Manager>Application Tab>Right click on PowerArchiver 2011: Image Grabber>Select Maximize
Does that bring it up at all?

Any CD will cause the issue, even data cds I made myself, please note I have no issues with DVD
I’ve waited About 15 minutes before turning it off.
Pressing the Eject button on the CD-Drive, and even right clicking on CD-Drive will not eject the CD, it is still spinning, I used a paper clip to eject it one time, not a smart move on my part. Nothing was damaged.
I have used TaskManager, tried ending process, it goes through the process, but will not stop the drive from spinning. I have also tried right clicking on the TAB and restoring it from there, but no luck.
I will try using TaskManager to maximze/restore PowerArchiver.

when it comes to playing game DVD’s, PAVD doesnt have any DRM avoidance, so if particular DVD has DRM you wont be able to play that game.
The best thing for fixing the CD issue would be to PM us the example file (if you can find it on torrents or somewhere), so we can reproduce it here.

Only 1 game I need the CD for, and that’s OK, I can live with puting it in, I dont play that much anyway.
The main reason was for 1 game my Brother has BF2, and we fixed the issue with that one, he had not updated the game, and that fixed issue ther, no DVD required to play.
Lastly, the CD issue, it does this with CDs, CDRs etc… so I doubt having the CD would recreate the issue, as I believe my problem is with all CDs

I tried maximize from taskmanager, and I got fullscreen transparent window with title bar only (PowerArchiver 2011 ImageGrabber not responding)
Note. I used even a different CDR, different brand even SONY CD-R supremas 700MB, PNY 700MB, SONY CD-R, Memorex, as well as the Retail Game CD
Note, I even tried to disable the DVD drive in device manager,
Device manager became not responding.I was able to get the error message,

we will update the burner and see what happens… thanks for all your help.
-
I appreciate the help all…
I’ve been using Powerarchiver since way back when it was called something else, Powerzip maybe ?? cant remeber like 90’s, anyway, this is not causing me real issues, as the DVD ISO does work…
When I get some free time, I will try it out on a couple different computers…
Hope I’ve been of some help…
Let me know if there is anythng else I can test on my end…Thanks…
-
EasyZip… in 1999? :-).
-
We have updated our burner drivers, can you try again please?
-
It did not solve the issue on my PC,
Samsung Superwritemaster SH-223Q cannot update firmware (*)
Things that may be causing the issue:I’m using RAID 0 x2 on JMB363
System is 3-Way SLI (Doubt this is a problem)HOWEVER:
I cannot recreate the issue on several other computers
Intel G41 running Windows 8 64-Bit,
HP DV6-2155DX Laptop Winows 7 64-bit, the CD to ISO file was quick and without issue…So this issue is on my gaming rig only, it may be the
Samsung Superwritemaster Model: SH-223Q, and for some reason I cannot update the firmware from SB02 to ST02, I even reverted it back to SB00 with no avail. and still cannot update to ST02.Sorry for the trouble everyone,
Next I am going to install a new DVD-ROM or blu-ray and see if the issue still persists…Thanks for all the help…
-
yes, but it should work regardless of the drive :-).
After we finish up with beta, we would like to send you an debug version to capture logs so we can send them to our burner guys.
-
Sure, that would be great…
