    • PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files

      Brian Gregory

      PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
      I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
      Discovered:
      a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
      b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.

    • Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives

      W

      WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
      In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
      If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

    • Some bugs on Advanced options

      W

      When adding to a file archive, and selecting for example PA format, strong optimization method, extreme compression. In the Advanced Options section you change to Automatic, EXE Filter and PDF filter . You return to the main section and save the Profile. When you then reload the profile you do not have the Automatic options of EXE Filter and PDF saved there.
      I noticed that instead if you change other options they are saved correctly (except for the Filter box values).

      Also among the various changes to the advanced options you click the “Calculate RAM usage” button the value seems to be added to the previous one. You can see it for example just by clicking the button twice in a row, the value changes. Edit: actually after many attempts now it seems to write a stable value (it does not change with each click). Maybe a synchronization problem in the calculation?

      Used PowerArchivier 2023 but there is the same behavior with the 2022

        I guess it took so long to create the filelist.

            you mean why all the access rules? dunno, thats how it works… it is only your PowerArchiver though, not some web application, but your local PA.

                Ironically, I was just going to make a post about this.

                Skydrive seems from the start go unstable.

                The 1st this is the Authorize Dialog hangs once you have logged in and there is now way other that to exit the application via task manager.

                Then there seems to be a delay or hang on most of the files and folders.

                Attachment Cloud and Dropbox both worked without issue and are quick.

                  Authorize is an IE window that access’s the SkyDrive website… once you authorize it, it saves the token on your computer… but thats all up to SkyDrive I believe… we will see more about it.

                    Trying to get Google Drive to work. I clicked on it and it took a minute, opened a window, then asked for email and password.

                    Entered the info, then the screen updated and wanted me to accept the terms, which I did. It takes a few seconds and then it gives an error unable to load the page.

                      yeah, i just checked, it is all done via Google pages - it doesnt have anything to do with PA itself - it doesnt go to our site, nor anything is stored on our site… it is all done by google.com and whatever the name of skydrive itself is.

                      Now I wonder if the problems people are having are due to crappy IE, because it is IE that opens up as it is always installed on the system. But there is nothing we can do about that though.

                      It does seem that IE11 they have in 8.1 I am using is finally usable… 10 was horrible on my computer, didnt want to load anything properly.

                            a lot of files - how many files are there and how long it takes? We can at least make it more responsive… i will upload a lot of small files to mine to test

                              we were able to improve the load times for the file list, lets see by how much.

                                ok, so 15s for .20 vs 28s for .18, for logging/loading filelist Skydrive. So abou 2x faster for newer version.

                                This is for +1000 files or so… we also added some “progress” messages and little bit more responsive, also fixed total upload progress bar.

                                It is not perfect yet, but it is better.

                                    so it will take 1/2 now, at least :P

                                    we could do caching… we will see… (in the future)

                                              do you have many sub folders?

                                              maybe we could read only main folder and then later cache rest of them…. but otherwise, it is slow due to Skydrive in general… i just checked their options and nothing really too good that we can do, except to only open root folder.

                                                i was testing google drive vs SkyDrive… Google has a lot more options for API. And it is a LOT faster off the bat… it is 3-4 seconds for 1000+ files for me, while 14s for SkyDrive for same amount of files.

                                                  The problem isn’t with waiting it’s the fact that your stuck andunable to uuse PowerArchiver until it’s finished.
