    • Do not include the extension in the file name of the compressed file

      Mario Lopez

      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

    • Issues converting a folder of .zip files to .lhz files

      O

      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.

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      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).

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      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.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      G

      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.

    • Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively

      G

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      Here’s explaination:

      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.

    • PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe

      U

      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 know this is a very nebulous explanation but is there any way to link this up to PA shell extensions as the cause? I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

              it’s always the case ‘Lux’…
              works for some and not others…:D

              Gives Mili something to do. ;)

                Tested here as well, opened Zip file 3 times and closed it differently each time.
                Let me know some more details on how to try and reproduce it and lets take a look.

                  This will be hard to track down at present…
                  it won’t crash when testing with 7z but it crashes 9 times out of 10 when testing random zip files.

                  will do a clean installation and re-test and report back.

                    No change I’m afraid…:(
                    same results as before and still testing with random zip/7z files.
                    random crashing with *.rar files also I’ve since found out…
                    7z seems to be the only stable format so far.

                      Problem seems to be attached to my use of the ‘Preview’ window but still only occurs under the zip format.
                      disabling the preview window seems to stop the crashing…will test further.

                          and what are you doing, just opening and preview or?

                          I tested 4-5 zip files quickly with preview and nothing really happens… i dont think any of the code related to preview has changed recently, but who knows.

                            I just chose random zip/7z files and opened with the preview window active…
                            each time I closed PA the program crashed when using a zip file…the 7z files however worked fine.

                            if I switched off the preview window PA worked fine and didn’t crash with either the zip or 7z files.

                                this seems to be tied to some setting possibly as i tried with 30+ archives… send that settings file over

                                  sent my PA configuration file over to support.

                                  Problem has only surfaced with the latest build…never encountered it before.

                                    AV maybe? Scanning the extracted file and PA cant exit properly or something?

                                          I did the same tests in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Service Pack 1)…encountered no problems whatsoever.

                                          I’m guessing this could be a tricky one to track down…
                                          seems strange the previous build worked perfectly and now this problem occurs.
                                          I haven’t installed any other software in Windows 8.1 since the latest build of PA.
                                          I don’t have any AV installed either.

                                            got the settings and have been testing extensively on a W8.1 machine with no luck.
                                            Have been trying different combinations of closing and previewing.
                                            How exactly are you closing PowerArchiver? and is a file actively being previewed at the time of closing?

                                            if you can, please also send over a sample archive that I can try with as well.

                                              Example 1: Closing with this option crashes the program.

                                              Example 2: Closing with this option also crashes the program.

                                              Example 3: Closing with this option and PA closes without any issues.

                                              Regardless whether or not I have a particular file showing in the ‘Preview’ window
                                              PA will still crash under the conditions shown above.

                                              *Remember of course this only seems to happen when using the .zip format.

                                              I can still send the sample zip file I created and used for this test if you want
                                              but it’s been happening with any zip file I’ve tested up to now.

                                                I dropped back to PA 14.05.01 to test out the same scenario
                                                and everything appears to be working fine…no crashes or issues to report.
                                                I will test additional zip files of various sizes.

                                                  Just sent you a private message with a short video showing my experience trying to get it to crash, and I cannot. PA exits without crashing every time

                                                  If there are any clues that might pop or if anyone experiences anything similar, please let us know, and thanks for your help!!

                                                    For now I can continue to use latest build without preview enabled
                                                    or drop back to earlier version which I know works without any issues.

                                                    still a little concerned as to why this problem surfaced though.
                                                    I guess some problems remain unsolved no matter how hard you look.

                                                    Any Thoughts….

                                                          Any insight into how you fixed this error team ?
                                                          currently testing and up to now hasn’t crashed on me…
                                                          many thanks guys for your diligence…:)

                                                          if it resurfaces you can be sure I will be back…:D

                                                                Sometimes I still like a ‘heads up’ as to what actually caused the issue…:D
                                                                I’m always concerned it’s a conflict of programs which in this case it appears it wasn’t.

                                                                Since installing this update the files now seem to appear faster in the ‘Preview’ window…
