Hi Guys,

One feature that can be handy is the Queue tool, this enables users to tell powerarchiver to run each task one by one depending on the size.

And…. Thats it.

I would love to see Conexware look at archive’s in a similar way to Network Traffic when using one application bandwidth and resources arnt impacted. However, when using more than one application these two areas are impacted. So to overcome this certain Firewalls, switches and software programs use Traffic Control, bandwidth prioritization to ensure quality of service ie maximum speed and reduced system impact.

So the thought crossed my mind when i had 26 Batched rar files all requiring extracting and two files requiring encrypting i tried to run 6 all at once and it slowed my system rite down almost stalling it, i enabled queue and i realized it was doing them in an order i wasnt really requiring to then use the buttons move up and down wasnt really speeding this up so i then cancelled all and selected each one based on my preference.

The idea poped into my head during this time that PowerArchiver could adapt a Queue Prioritisation Process…

PA Queue Prioritization - Settings, Options and GUI Enhancements

Path
ie any archive being processed in a certain location such as Local MyDocuments treat prioritize higher than FTP, Or NAS Drive.

or have my Movies, Pictures and Music as my top paths everything else is at the bottom of the queue.

File Format
I may extract more rar’s in large batchs than any other format so anything that is a rar move to the top.

I could add anything Encrypted or PAF format too

Number of transfers per time
By default to maintain the fastest possible speed it would be 1 but i can change this to 2,3 or 5 transfers per process.

Priority Stamp!
the ability to click a tick box during the extract or compress process that informs Queue to treat that particular process as Top priority even if it doesnt fall under Path or format settings.

Show Queue Dialog

Pause
next to move up, move down a pause button so those files selected are stoped from the process until deselected

Turbo!
By selecting a file in the Queue screen and selecting turbo all other priorities, connections are paused PowerArchiver focuses its complete utter attention to that one process and on completion resumes the prior settings.

If possible, I would like the ability to test (the integrity of a) PAE file, within PA, or better yet, within the shell extension. Not sure whether to create a new thread . . . but one more wish: Allow the user to define a “compress to” option — so if there is some particular format and profile she likes to use, it will be directly available from the shell (without choosing Compress with Options).

Hi Guys, Very minor thing and simple to do. Can you adjust it so when user’s Right Click on PA Starter and select “About” instead of it launching a basic msgbox let it bring up the “About PowerArchiver” dialog. But replace the wording under the line beneith “all rights reserved” with the txt from the msgbox for PA Starter. That way users are used to the same format, and can access “Credits”, “FAQ”, “Register”,“Order” without having to go into PowerArchiver app. Cheers

When I click on the “Extract” button in PowerArchiver, there is an option for “Open folder after extracting”, which I always keep checked. It would be nice to have another one saying “Close PowerArchiver after extracting”. With both checked, the PowerArchiver window would be “replaced” with the Explorer window. I think it’d be great!

Hi Team, I think it would be logical to delete the “Locations” Tab and merge the “Viewer” and “Virus Scanner” options into the Folder’s Tab. A minor tweak to the drop downs width on Virus scanner would easily accomidate it.

moved to the wishlist… Administrators can already create their own registration settings themselves and apply them. How hard is to use regedit.exe? If you cant use regedit.exe, then you probably dont need to save/export PA configuration settings. Of course, only reason you have to re-enter the settings in Beta’s is because of the BUG and using beta’s, of course :-). Problem with adding any feature is that you have to add it, translate it, troubleshoot it, support it and maintain it. So unless it is really crucial, its better not to add another feature that nobody will use :-), since we already have list of features for next releases. When you have 3,000 features, it is hard to use them all and be able to present them to the users :-).

The idea come to mind when using a series of services and programs that enabled users via a simple web based interface to do simple file sharing, backup’s and emails via home computer IP so to avoid large costs. Obviosly an intermediate to advanced admin could setup a remote desktop system or a VPN and login do the job on their system then move the archive to a shared location. Hell, if you pay for logmein pro you can access anywhere in the world and share files. But we are going into expensive, complex systems that require a higher level of knowlege and complex programing to ensure everything is secure. Plus to expense of VPN Tokens, costs connecting to such servers and the continued expense of expansion. I was also looking at PowerArchiver and what could Conexware create / offer their users both at home and businesses regardless of size ie 10 to 1000 plus thaat it’s competitors didnt, i thought about Patchbeam and its progression. Then it dawned on me that if Conexware created a Backend PowerArchiver Toolbox as a backend engine while a frontend plugin such as this could allow single to multiple users to create archives from any internal/external location via a web based interface without any special knowlege or software installed via a simple step as open “any” browser and enter an address then login. Now for a home user this would come in handy i could see myself using it with my livedrive. ie login at work that doesnt allow VPN’s or Remote desktops to any other external address than it own!! to my pa remote address then edit and run a backup or create a new backups to my livedrive anywhere at any time. However, for a business… this could be implemented into corporate intranet sites, website enabling the businss to lock down on the complexities and cost of software, VPN and remote training, costs of tokens etc etc allow standard users to upload files they need converting to archive over their business network and then email it via outlook all though a browser… Now! if done correctly this would be a powerfull addition to ConeXware’s software. A business then buy’s a “PowerArchiver Toolbox Business Licencse” enabling a backend proxy managment using Patchbeam tech for example… “wording to market it!” then they pay for a license that is far less than PA Standard for each login via a proxy. obvisoly the PA Toolbox Business would be priced specifically for this. The advantages 1. A business can keep specific formats in line with company policy’s at a reduced cost 2. users can edit and create backups of there own systems via a web portal but using PowerArchiver’s admin prefered settings. 3. Software would not need to be installed onto every single standard users end computer again “saving costs, training” 4. The ability to send an email to an address where it’s managed by toolbox and saved thus removing the requirement to sent to another email… ie i email a zip about 20 megs to an address it then download’s and makes it available for all users via the portal or via the business drive. thus reducing network traffic from one email to another then that person forwards to another person etc etc. there are loads of way’s i can think of that this could work but its putting it togeather with a think tank so it does. ow and at the momment, its unique to Conexware.
