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

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.

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).

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)

Hi,
I just saw, that on the Website, PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.73 is advertised as latest version. (Actually, the downloaded version says, it’s 20.00.70 in the about dialog)
But it still comes with the “red icon set” for preview versions and has some known unfixed bugs, as I read here.Is it sufficiently stable to be used on production systems?
Kind regards
-
This happens in Archive and Explorer Mode:
Navigate to a folder, which is UAC protected (for example C:\Program Files) Right click -> New -> Folder (or any other item)
=> Nothing happensExpected behaviour: UAC prompt is triggered and a new folder (or file) will be created

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.

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,
After the batch archiving is complete, and if I click on whitespace of the PA app, I get this error.

I did check for ongoing process and ensured no archives were corrupt, It seems like activity did complete successfully but the error is shown for no reason, and only after clicking the whitespace.
Please see if this can be removed.

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.
Here’s explaination:
https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink
I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.
It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.
Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

Hello!
I am using the portable version of PA2021. After switching from build 58 to 73 I have problems with the color-scheme:
While 58 behaves like expected and showed everything in light or dark colors according to the settings, 73 always shows the lower part of the window in dark colors, no matter whether I select automatic, light or dark.
This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?
Thanks for help!

Hi.
I currently own the PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English license.
This license is active on 1 device. Does the license allow me to activate PowerArchiver on a second device that I own? Or do I need a separate license for that?
Thank you ! :)

Hello!
While the installable version of PA 2021 has already received two updates and is at version 20.0.73 the portable version still remains at the initially released build 58. Are there plans to update that version, too?
Thanks for a reply! -
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.
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!
logged in :) -
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.

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.
