Updated translations and smaller graphical changes to better fit various translations, etc, etc.

Thanks everyone!

The only reason I made my last post was to wonder why there was a setting for beta releases and why it was never used. I have a thing about pointless settings in GUIs :eek: .

i know… we are finally making use of it. I am not sure if we should rename it to something else though.

I like the idea of Slow/Fast ring in Windows 10, but it is kind of hard to translate to 30+ languages and especially at first glance.

However Microsoft did popularize the naming so it may be more understandable now.

With PowerArchiver 2016, we have made the changes that allow us to publish weekly updates for instance when needed. Basically same thing we have been doing on forums since .33 was initially announced up until now with latest being .60.

Any ideas, anyone?

I would personally have no problems with that. For as long as I have known about the beta option (years IIRC) I have set it and never got a beta that way.
IMHO if it is not used, it should be removed ;) .

as i said, we are thinking on doing it like Win10 from now on, with fast ring being “betas” and slow ring being “official” releases via Patchbeam

something like fast ring in Windows 10 in the future? Updates 2-3 times per month (after final is released)?

That is the first time I have ever got a beta via Patchbeam. Long may it continue:).

It was available via beta patchbeam since yesterday. I suggest to everyone who wants to have latest version to set PB to check it daily in Config.

Enjoy!

This one has double-signing for all exe/dll’s, so needs to be tested under various OS’s. Thanks!

thank you!

That’s a shame. I hope the classic set gets some appropriate icons as having a mix does not look right at all.

I have been looking to somehow get the same style of icons, but it is hard to find. These were custom designed by our old icon designer Maria that unfortunately died from terminal disease few years ago :-(.

New ones were designed by our friends at Reset Web design but it is very different style from Original set.

That’s a shame. I hope the classic set gets some appropriate icons as having a mix does not look right at all.

I’ve seen this with the dropdown lists for “Open Archive” with a archive already open with Classic Mode skin. The icons don’t match the “Extract Archive” dropdown list

yes, thats since old icon set does not have new icons… so only old ones are there right now.

Hi

Just installed the latest release and have noticed that there is still a mix of classic and modern in some tabs when classic is selected, like in attached.

thanks for everyone reporting any issues or suggestions!

PA .50 fixes issue with options dialog being behind status dialog.

PAES still crashes when closing Encrypt Files dialog with Red X.

Please try with this release:

thank you!

Just messing around with SFX Wizard which is really cool btw and the About dialog need updating in there too!

This Self-Extracting archive was created using PowerArchiver 2013
and then the year copyright dates… blah blah

Can you add environment variables like %ProgramFiles% to the Default extraction path area too? I just tried this and it didn’t automatically show C:\Program Files\ but instead %ProgramFiles%

Here is the list from:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/wiki/en:help:main:powerarchiver_self-extractor:advanced_extraction_path_options

Constant Description Typical or Example Path

%temp% User’s temporary folder C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
%temp-unique% A unique temporary folder C:\WINDOWS\TEMP~SFX345A
%win% Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS
%winsys% Windows System Files Directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
%PROG% Program Files Folder C:\Program Files
%DOCS% User’s documents folder C:\My Documents
%DESKTOP% User’s Desktop Folder C:\Windows\Desktop
%FONTS% Fonts Folder C:\Windows\Fonts

The Extract dropdown lists are perfect across the board so far.

no need to wait until final. .51 is here!

Confirmed, fixed.

I see one other small GUI glitch on a fresh load, the text in the folder dropdown box next to back\forward buttons is white blending into the background until mouse moves over it. This Only affects Classic mode and not Modern Ribbon mode from my experiments.

keep looking at that options issue if it happens again, not sure if that was intentional fix since it was just reported yesterday.

As to the PAES crash, cant reproduce here. Can you please export your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverINT to the reg file, cab it and send it over to support at conexware dot com. That way we might be able to reproduce it.

thanks!

Sadly your pessimism was correct, Options dialog showed up behind status dialog a couple of times today - in one case, DisplayFusion did not move dialogs to another monitor and was on my primary monitor, so not sure that is related.

Emailed cab file with reg key as well.
