      I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
      I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
      I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
      With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
      The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
      Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?

    • PowerArchivier don't save Created and Accessed timestamp

      W

      Quando creo un archivio zip con un altro programma ad esempio Winrar se apro il file con Winrar vi sono visualizzati anche le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      Se ottimizzo quel file zip con la funzione Ottimizza archivio di PowerArchivier (o creo un nuovo archivio) il file risultate non ha più le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      C’è una opzione per preservare questi dati? (Non l’ho trovata nelle impostazioni del programma e ho già abilitato le opzioni “salva info complete cartella” presente in “Profili di compressione”)

      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      Is there an option to preserve this data? (I haven’t found it in the program settings and I have already enabled the “save complete folder info” options in “Compression Profiles”)

    • Unlisted pbs files

      pirrbe

      Upgraded from 2021 to 2022. Selecting ‘backup’ no scripts are showed. Only after editing and saving an existing script (explorer) it shows up in the PA backup folder.
      So is the ‘backup’ icon to open the Backup screen only for creating ‘new’ ones. This means that you have to open ALL your old pbs files and to save them again… not user friendly.
      No way to improve this ? Thank you.

    • Access violation with scaling > 100%

      Hi,

      I have a 31" 4K screen with 3840x2160 pixel, which PA is able to handle - except of a scaling other than 100%.
      When changing scaling for this screen to 125%, starting PA brings the following exception:

      Access violation at address 0000000..DF47A4 in module 'powerarc.exe'. Schreiben of address 0000...00330.

      After closing this message, PA seems to work fine.
      PA version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64bit (tested with Win 10 and after upgrade Win 11)

      Is there any chance to avoid this access violation or this message?

    • Problems with registry restrictions on PA 2021 and sending reg codes

      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.

      Good day.

      I had an earlier suggestion which you partly implemented.

      I am wondering if you can fully implement this at some point.

      I wanted PA to “remember” if a file was encrypted so that when I added a file I did not have to choose encryption — and the type of encryption.

      Once upon a time, whenever I would drag and drop a file to an encrypted archive, the encryption option was always set to disable. Since I do this probably 20-30 times a week, I thought it would be nice for the system to know / remember that it was encrypted.

      It now does – sort of. But once I drag and drop any file on an archive where I DON’T where the files are NOT encrypted (and change the encryption level to disable), then the system forgets every other encrypted file on my system. Once I reset it on every other encrypted file (6 of 7 of them), then the system “remembers” that it is encrypted. That is, it remembers until the next time I want to put a file in an unencrypted archive.

      Put differently. I have to set the encryption level on every frequently used archive for the system to remember it for any of my files, but if I disable it on even one archive, it disables it on all of them until I reset each one by one.


      While I have you, I would like to reiterate my request to allow move – as well as copy – to archive, perhaps by holding down the Shift or Control key when I drag and drop.

      Thanks.

        it remembers last used setting, not archives.

        Otherwise, PA can detect if you have an ecnrypted file in archive… but what happens if you have 10 encrypted and 10 unencrypted files, which is easily possible in ZIP?

          At least you understand the concern.

          If I have 10 archives I regularly use, nine of them are encrypted and one isn’t, then changing the one changes all 10.

          Wouldn’t it be better if it “recognized” that the file were encrypted?

          Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems there should be some way to avoid this problem. 'Cause the fix, for me, isn’t really much of a fix.

          BTW, I NEVER have a mix of encrypted and unencrypted files in the same archive, and I suppose I would have thought that was true for most people. I have a fairly good imagination, but I can think of only a few very odd circumstances where I might do that (although I don’t do it AT ALL).

          Then there is the other proposal I have made several times (sorry for being such a pest, but I know this is doable).

            it is not the archive, but files inside - inside same archive, you can have both encrypted and unencrypted files… how do you decide what setting to automatically show you?

              But the system doesn’t really remember the last setting. I have to reset EVERY encrypted archive to encryption for the system to remember.

              If I had to do this only once, it would be unfortunate, but not a serious problem. But as I said, Once I add a file to an unencrypted archive it is NOT enough to reset that option of one archive. It changes that option until I have reset the option on all my encrypted archives. So if doesn’t JUST remember the last setting. If the last setting is to disabled encryption resets the option on ALL encrypted archives.

                I think a set of my interrelated concerns could be solved if you had an option for a ZIPX profile as well as a ZIP profile (see the attached image)

                  Hello!
                  You can make your own ZIPX profile by creating a new ZIP profile with, say, Optimized(Zipx) compression which you can use.

                    I have that, but it does not show up as an option in the profile window I showed up in the last image.

                    Indeed, by default, you now have ZIPX as a default profile . . . but it doesn’t show in the first or second of the two drop-down windows (format and profile).

                    Does that indicate that there is a problem with my set up somewhere?

                      _

                      A solution . . . connected to a phenomenon I mentioned in an earlier thread.

                      If I change the format from ZIP to anything else and then back to zip, THEN I can see options in the drop-down profile menu. But I have to change to some other format first . . . and then back._

                        do you have several profiles setup, or is this about default profile? Is it only in drag and drop window or everywhere where there is profile option?

                        i just created profile named zip encrypt and showed up in main window add screen, main window drag and drop and shell extensions?

                          Drag and drop – which is about all I do.

                          Also, a profile I created before you could rename name, shows up once I changed profiles and changed back. It also shows up in the FTP drop-down profile options.

                          Any way to get rid of this name in the profiles. I looked at the registry, but it was reluctant to tinker since it appears 4-5 keys are interlinked to define those profiles — and I was afraid I would leave one or delete the wrong one.

                            Use PowerArchiver’s backup tool that creates a registry copy of your configurations.

                            Then if you mess up PA’s registry to a point it wont work just double click on the PA Backup you made and that will recover you working config settings.

                            There is no risk to you OS by modding PA’s registry… Belieave me i’ve been in there allot.
