    • 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

      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.

    • 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:

      Description Faulting Application Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 10.0.17134.165 Application Timestamp: 4031a9f8 Fault Module Name: StackHash_e78e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: PCH_8D_FROM_ntdll+0x000000000009AA54 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 10.0.17134.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: e78e Additional Information 2: e78e327659b46c9a0c6916396b253cbf Additional Information 3: cebf Additional Information 4: cebf952c5db535ae7880488aafce55d9 Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 1a57e4e784fbc735c231c68bd88581a9 (1311047270476906921)

      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.

      I have noticed I cannot delete large archives, please see the attached.

      The file is not open in explorer in any operator-instigated way. All affected files are approx 4.5Gb on an NTFS partition. Smaller files can be deleted without issue. Is this related to (I assume) PA showing the archive contents in the delete dialogue box?

      Cheers

            As usual, happy to run any tests etc to help out.

            Regards

                great!

                Does that mean I have found something useful? If that is the case, why are only large ISOs affected?

                  Obviously it’s an issue so very helpful… I would guess that iso files over 4gb cause some internal issue in listing code hence the lock… We will know more once Feb team fixes it, but reproducible report is 80% of the work already

                        Created two 4.8+gig ISO files, mounted/unmounted them, extracted them and they deleted fine afterwards.
                        I’m downloading openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso and trying with that.

                        Let me know if you did anything specific after which this ISO file became undeletable.

                        Thanks!

                          I am doing nothing to these files. I cannot delete any OpenSuSE distros, I have both 13.2 distos and latest snapshots of Tumbleweed…that’s 4 in total; even after just turning on my computer. Done nothing to them at all. All I have to do is download and try to delete. I don’t know whether it is a size issue, but I could delete a Knoppix distro at 4.1 GB.

                          The on thing I have noticed, is that before the first delete attempt, which always fails, there are no locking processes. These show up (as per the above screenshot) only after the first failed attempt.

                          Cheers

                            Basically, you downloaded this file and then when attempting to delete it it gives you the said error?
                            I’ve downloaded the same, file and it deleted just fine.
                            Please run me through the process starting with obtaining the file and deleting it at the end. What exactly goes on in between?
                            Let me know, I’ll give it a try.

                              I can turn on my computer and do nothing and still cannot delete those files without an unlocking utility. I downloaded the files a good week or two ago.

                              It gets even more spooky. I d/l one of these files to another PC and have exactly the same problem. OS is the same, Win 7 x64.

                              <smoking gun="">Uninstalled PA and rebooted and COULD delete file. Re-installed PA and cannot delete file</smoking> . Saved my settings and reapplied them before trying the second delete (which failed).

                              I did save my settings before uninstalling - anybody want the reg file for testing?

                                . . . you have preview turned on? Try turning it off (Alt-P) and see if that helps?

                                  I did. Turning it off made no difference.

                                    Sorry. I thought it might help. I had some problem deleting files when preview was open in PA mini. I thought it was worth a try.

                                    One other possibility. If you have that file type set to always use Volume Shadow Copy Support, it might keep the file open in explorer.

                                    The last option is there is something about the partition (I assume that is J:?) that is causing the problem.

                                      Hi,

                                      See post #13 for some tests that I ran on another computer. Strangely, only my four OpenSuSE ISOs are affected.

                                      In short, I can delete the files without PA installed.

                                      Cheers

                                        hmmm, lets try with your settings. If you can please send them over(in a cab file) to support at conexware dot com and I can try to reproduce that way.

                                        Did you perform an installation of the said ISOs before attempting to delete them or can you reproduce it by just downloading the file and attempting to delete it right away after download?

                                        thanks again!

                                          Just download and try and delete - that’s all I did on my test.
                                          Email just sent, subject as per this thread.
                                          Happy to test and fixes or send any further info.

                                                        Sorry to report but the problem is back. Using the latest version.

                                                        I am clearing out my Linux ISO folder and the issue has presented itself with the OpenSuSE 13.2 x64 ISO (I’m now using Tumbleweed). The file is locked by 5 explorer.exe processes.

                                                        I copied the file to a different computer and got the same problem.

                                                        I shall keep the file for testing purposes to check any fixes.

                                                          is this the same ISO as before? Since PA did not get update in-between, so what else changed?

                                                            There was an update and we thought the issue had been fixed, please see messages #23 & 24. It is the same file, viz openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso, the problem exists on two PCs with the same file and same version of PA (the latest). The OS is Win 7 x64 in both cases.

                                                            The problem was reproduced by yourselves as per earlier in the thread.

                                                            Regards

                                                            Update:- Another ISO is affected - a Tumbleweed ISO. Just moving it to another computer to check if the delete fails there too…it does.

                                                                  http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150202.exe

                                                                  there are two image files inside of that ISO file. It should be fine now, check it out! Thanks!

                                                                      It looks like you got the sucker now. Could you please explain what the issue was?

                                                                      Thanks, DrTeeth

                                                                      archive was recognized wrongly, hence the issue with it locking up the file… now this ISO MBR format is recognized properly in preview and it works fine.
