    • 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?

      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

      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.

    • 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.

          I didn’t think you used to be able to delete single files in 7z? Or was that only with a solid archive?

                Sounds like the process in which is recompiles the archive doesnt include encrypting the names again.

                PA team should have a new version out soon, it contains many bug fixe’s so its worth keeping your eye open and updating patchbeam so it checks on start.

                  My observations:
                  1. If solid archive is selected in the 7-zip format and Optimized, LZMA or LZMA2 is selected, the Delete is unavailable.

                  2. If solid archive is selected in the 7-zip format and Store is selected, the Delete is available.

                  3. If solid archive is selected in the 7-zip format and PPMd is selected, the Delete is unavailable, but the file names are NOT encrypted.

                        I was initially perplexed when one user talked about exactlng a single file from a 7z file.

                        I thought that perhaps this was a new development.

                        I realize the problem is more complex.

                        Suppose. when I create an archive, I create a 7z file; then I can delete an individual file without a hitch (although it then no longer hides the names of the individual files – still a problem).

                        But I tried something else.

                        If I CONVERT the file from zipx to 7z, the option to delete an individual file is greyed out, whether it was a solid archive or not.

                        So perhaps there’s a hitch in the convert program (which is one of the great features of PA).

                          it is probably always solid in converter…

                          i also wonder if there should be some improvements to the converter?

                            Definitely, that would be nice. I would use 7z more often.

                              if you have any more ideas about converter, best time to make your voice heard in wishlist forums :-)

                                Well here we are almost 6 months later and 13.00.17 still does not have the fix. Not a happy camper that they forced me to upgrade and pay….

                                  I think I must be misremembering the thread. My 7zip filenames are hidden until to enter the encryption key.

                                  Is there some special way you are adding the files?

                                  It is true that it doesn’t do it automatically from the shell (compress to 7 z) . . . but that is because (as far as I can tell, that is not an option when determining compression profiles.

                                  BTW, I am still using 12.12.

                                    Same here, works just as Socrates mentioned using 13.00.18.

                                    How are you adding the files?

                                      Also, PA will never force you to purchase an upgrade.
                                      The upgrade notice in Patchbeam specifically noted that new codes were necessary, that’s all.

                                        The original post was:“After deleting a file from a .7z file, the filename encryption is lost. Files are still encrypted but visible when opening the .7z file.” BTW, the archive is not solid.

                                        Adding file is not the problem.

                                        This has been confirmed by a few member.

                                        Just tried it with 13.00.18 and the problem is still there.

                                            The bug is still logged into our system from initial report. Going to put it on the next list of bugs to be taken care of, so let’s see what happens!
                                            Thanks for bringing it up again!

                                              I can confirm as well.

                                              Don’t know enough about 7zip to know if this is a common problem with non-solid 7 zip encrypted files, or if it is unique to PA.

                                                      I checked this out. I had been a problem before version .22.

                                                      It is not a problem anymore.

                                                        If I convert an encrypted zipx file to a 7zip file, it doesn’t encrypt the 7z file. Perhaps it would be too difficult to do, but it if wasn’t, it would be a nice touch.

                                                          I cant see how it’s too hard to do as PA technicaly exports to a temp location and then re-compresses the folder into the required format.

                                                          If it can encrypt a file or folder’s names from scratch surely it should a convertion?

                                                          it sounds like there is a bug within the convertion tool itself.

                                                              it seems to remove encryption completely when converting encrypted files

                                                                But since you have to enter the encryption key to convert it . . . I thought it would be nice to use the same key for the new archive.

                                                                      However, PA has to know that it is encrypted since it asks me for the password before it can convert the file.

                                                                      And, since it already “has” the password (I had to enter it) why couldn’t it use that password when creating the converted archive?

                                                                          Is this one different?

                                                                          Is this available via patchbeam, or should I manually download it? Or is PB version close? (Manual install loses a number of settings.)

                                                                          Or did you want me to check it for you before it goes to PB?

                                                                          Thanks.
