Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
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-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

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

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.

Is there any way to reset the compression profiles back to install default??

When viewing an archive I want to be able to preview the text files within the archive. In past versions, there was a preview pane on the right side of the screen. How do I enable this in the most recent version (20.10.02)?

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 ?

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.

I was looking around in PA 2021 20.10.02 and discovered an issue. When I hit close to close out of this window, nothing happens. I have to go into taskman and kill the PA application.

Is there a command line to include the Registration Code when pushing an install using Microsoft Intune/Endpoint Manager?
I am able to push the software, but I’d like the PowerArchiver to be registered when it gets to the workstation instead of entering the Registration Code on each workstation individually.
Thanks

Hi,
The “Print button” to create a file listing of the files in the archive opens an empty drop down menu.
there are some issues with the UI in the classic interface:
610bb5df-42a7-4a67-85ab-163ca0c655a9-image.png
Clicking on the empty entry let me save the file listing as txt file, the entry for html files is missing completely. The toolbar for the file preview feature is cut at the window edge. Options on the right aren’t accessible at all.Kind regards

Hi,
I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

Compression profiles
-
Earlier I asked about compression profiles, and, unless I am mistaken, I never got an answer.
Actually, I have the earlier questions and a new one.
-
I have tried creating profiles. I was able to create one, but couldn’t do anything with it. I couldn’t rename it, and it would never show up in any drop down box where I really wanted to use it. Any idea where I am going awry?
-
I specifically want to create a ZIP and a ZIPX profile with different compression, and with one encrypted and one not. Just cannot seem to do it. Ideas.
-
The profile I DID manage to create does not show up on my list of profiles in the configuration menu . . . but it is somehow still there as an option in the ftp menu. Any idea why? How do I get rid of it?
-
-
we will take a look, thank you.
-
this should work fine now in the latest version.
Fixed previously and tested today.If there are any issues, please note specifics
Thanks! -
We are half way home.
I CAN now rename new profiles.
But one issue remains, and now I see a new related one.
If I go to the FTP tab, then look under the list of available profiles (the second one on that part of the ribbon): (a) the old “profile 1” (which I couldn’t rename) is still there, even though it is not listed in the compression profiles on the config page. I may just got poking around the registry to see if I can clean it out. (b) it does not allow me to choose ZIPX (or a new profile) for sending files via FTP.
THEN, while trying to see if I could find “Profile 1” in the registry . . .
I notice that all the ZTE registry entries are still there, even though I uninstalled it. Any problem with deleting that key? -
Can you sent a screenshot of what you are referring to?
I’m not sure where compression profiles would show up in the FTP tab. -
But how do I add an image. The add image option wants a URL.
-
just found it.
Think it is there now.
-
If you click on Go Advanced and bring up the Advanced reply window, you’ll be able to add an attachment.
-
you found it, great!!
thanks for posting the screenshot!Tested it and it worked fine. A profile which I created and initially named “mili” showed up in FTP Profiles as “mili”
then i renamed it to “mili 2” and it showed up as “mili 2”
Then I deleted it, and it did not show up anymorePlease check to see how it shows up in config and that it did not by chance stay in config as “profile1”
-
BTW, I am still having the same problem.
When I drag and drop to a zipx file, the format option is listed as ZIP, and the Profile option is greyed out . . . unless I scroll through the other format options first . . . and then the profile option drop down option works.
Been doing this for close to six months. apparently you have not been able to find a solution.
I assume this is not something there by design.

right now ZIPX is not an special profile category, but option within ZIP profile (depending on what compression you chose)… is this what is happening?
-
See the two images attached.
The first I get by default when I drag and drop.
The second the drop down profile becomes active, and I can add the ZIPx profile I created.

Thanks Socrates, I was able to find a similar issue with compression profiles and D&D into archive and that is logged in.
However, could not find/reproduce what you posted.
Could you provide a more detailed screenshot and explanation so that I may exactly reproduce and log it in.
Thanks! -
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.
Just stick the attached image between the 2 I sent earlier.
(1) right after D&D I cannot see the profile (or choose among profile options) — previous Profile1 image
(2) I shift to another format (see new attached image)
(3) then back to Zip format, and the drop down profile options appear (previous Profile 2 image.That help?
attachment_p_30014_0_profiles-1a.pdf -
you are D&Ding into a zipx archive?
-
I ask as the D&D dialog is what is in the screenshot and the compression profiles option is different than what is shown in your screenshot.
That is why i asked for a larger/more detailed screenshot.
-
I don’t have ZipStore as an option no matter what. And I have ZIPX only because I added it.
I cannot think of anything else to send you other than what I have sent.
If you all are just not sure, there’s no reason to ask any more. I will just plan on taking the extra steps everytime I d&d.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.
-
The options in the dropdown shown in my screenshot are profiles i created as well.
I posted the screenshot to show what the D&D dialog looks like, differing from what I can comprehend in the screenshot you sent.I guess I’ll try to decipher your screenshots and try to reproduce the issue. Thanks!
-
maybe check with professors pa registry and see if you can reproduce it like that. it might be due to the specific profile.

All you need look at for sure is Profile 1 image I sent 2-3 days ago. When I first try to d&d the profile drop down window is greyed out – and so the other features are wrong.
Only after I change to another format (say, 7z) and then back to zip does the profile drop down window become active (is no longer greyed out).
The very first image identifies the problem (by my lights). the other two only show what I must do to get the profile drop down window to work.

I was finally able to figure it out.
It happens when dragging a file onto a Zipx archive, in windows explorer for example. (file not open in main PA)Logging it in.

Thanks.
Sorry it took me so long to explain it clearly. My bad. That is almost always the way I add files to an archive, so I erroneously assumed most other people did the same. Duh. I am slow.

I didn’t try ALL D&D options myself so my fault as well :)
Thanks for bringing it up, glad we got it!

Goodness. No need to apologize. It is my job to explain the problem clearly. You all have a difficult enough job as it is.
I am just glad I was finally able to explain it clearly enough.
Thanks for a great product.

ah, dragging into the icon? :-).
you see how many different scenarios there are!

Many ways of doing it. But D&D onto the icon always seemed the easiest.
Which is why I would also like to be able to move or copy depending on which keys I hold down while D&D (which key combinations matters now) — just as move seems the default in Win 7, but holding down the CTRL key while doing it copies the file.
