Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.

pa-convert-zip-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

I have just installed 2021, but seems to have similar issues to 2019. If you move the app between differen monitors (with different resolutions) the app does not automatically adjust accordingly, so on one monitor I have the app is too big for the screen, whereas on another monitor it only takes up a small fraction of the screen.
This was worse with 2019, where the fonts were totally screwed up, making the app unusable. This seems better in 2021, but still not working properly. -
Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

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 can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

Good morning,
I have been using all compression programs for over 20 years, I have always found Winrar very easy to use when I create a self-extracting archive, even 7-zip is simple, “right click” and “create self-extracting archive”, because on powerarchiver it must be like this confused ?
It doesn’t just create the archive, it opens a page where I have to select the file again, what kind of archive, which folder to create it, etc … you should learn from your competitors how to make life easier! -
Hi,
So refer this screenshot:
image_2020-12-30_115129.png
The properties panel that you see, is what I tried to compress, using PA, with following settigs:
Extreme Strong optimize
https://forums.powerarchiver.com/assets/uploads/files/1609079025475-image_2020-12-27_195344.pngThe process was stuck at 0% with no progress for over 8 Hours:
PA.png
Then the usual, clicking will make it go not responding.
So, I could not get the files compressed using PA.
I tried 7zip, and it worked, so that’s 1 issue.
PA shows incorrect original(before compression) size of total contents.
Refer the first screenshot.
folder’s size is shown correctly in 7ZIP
but not in powerarc.this happens with every archive, whether they are compressed in PA or not, whether it has only 1 file, or multiple files inside multiple directory.
Neither does the archive property panel shows original content’s size.

Hi,
So my rig is as below:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (Turbo 3.7GHz)
RAM: 16 Gigs DDR3
Samsung SSD 860 EVO
Windows 10 pro for workstations x64, freshly installed on 22nd Dec 2020, and updated.
PA freshly downloaded on same day, so it’s 2021 x.x.62 versionPA Stuck.png
Issue and reproduction:
If you start a compression, and if it’s mid way anywhere or even started, and you try to cancel it, the window will get stuck there, another click or key press will make the window not responding, then, and more will make windows to collect logs for crash, and the process will be terminated by windowsOn the other hand.
If the process is mid way, and if you try to pause it, the compression, CPU utilization, RAM usage will stay/increase as if the compression if still going on, the whole process will take it’s course, instead of doing what we clicked on.
So, both pause and cancel buttons are useless.

I recently installed PA 2021. But the PowerArchiver Starter, for my backups, keeps running at high CPU usage, I have to keep killing it, its running about 46% constantly.
I have Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, build 19042.662
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
-
Just installed 2021 v20.00.63
Now, when I add to queue, with or without using always use queue.
The powerarc starter opens up in notification bar.
and that’s it, no matter how many files I add to queue, no compression will start.
I also cannot double click or right click the icon.
If i end task for this, and disable queuing, compression works fine, just that I have to manually start individual tasks.
it’s quite ironic that you guys took whole year to fix one issue, in this versions, which completely broke the queuing feature.
Did you guys test it before releasing?

Run the exe it will extract the installable drivers to C:\drivers
I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
Extreme, strong optimize.
image_2020-12-27_195344.pngThis resulted in negative compression.
However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:

I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to track down the cause of a hanging bug in PA.
I have found a reliable test case (on my computer at least).I am trying to extract the folders/files from: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.9.0/windeps.7z
By selecting both folders, then dragging over to a Windows Explorer window on another HDD.
I’m not sure what causes this but this just doesn’t do anything, progress bar appears, but nothing happens.
PA shows about 5% CPU utilization and I’ve left this going all night and it never does anything.
It doesn’t always happen, but this morning this is reliably failing for me.
The folder I’m dragging to is under Git source control, but this also happens when dragging into other folders also, but not always, sometimes it works.If I do a regular extraction and use the dialog box to select the location to extract to, that always works.

Hi.
I have noticed after updating PowerArchiver through PatchBeam to 20.00.63, after the installer finished and I recheck for updates, it still tells me that I have version 20.00.62 installed and prompts to download 20.00.63 again.
This also happens when I install from the offline setup file powarc200063.exe ( https://powerarchiverdl.cachefly.net/2021/powarc200063.exe ). It still installs version 20.00.62 and the process goes over and over again.
Also, in PowerArchiver About screen I see version 20.00.62 but in Programs and Features in Windows 10, version 20.00.63 is displayed as being installed.
Can someone check and see if they experience similar behavior?
Thank you!
-
When I double click on a file within an archive the file gets temporarily extracted to being opened with the external program. When I now go back to the windows explorer and want to open another archive while the file from the first archive is still being extraceted, a new window of power archiver opens and immediatly closes. It opens and closes the new window repeatedly until the extraction of the file from the first archive is completed.
I use the option that power archiver opens a new tab when another archive is opened.
This happend with version 20.00.60. I wanted to update it to 20.00.63 as shown in the update window but it just updates to 20.00.62. It still shows that 20.00.63 is available but never seem to update to that version. The bug still exists though.
-
I have some large zip files (~ 40 MB) with a lot of html files. When I double click on one of them in the archive, it takes a long time (eg 20 sec) for the file to be extracted and opened in the browser.
I am using version 19.00.59.
I discovered that the root cause of the problem is that all the files in the archive are extracted to the temporary dir before the selected file is launched.
It does not appear to happen with other file types (such as pdf) nor when dragging a html file into the browser.
I think I recall this issue being raised by someone else, but could not find it.
-
On PowerArchiver 2021 (20.00.60) and windows 10, Both options in the windows explorer shell extension, “Compress to …zip” and “Compress to …zipx” create a .zipx file. ¿Its this intended?
-
My slow ring still reads as 19.00.59… will it ever offer an update to 2021 or is that something I must do manually?

Hello there,
I was installing-uninstalling and reinstalling PA 2021 due to another bug when I noticed a minor popup “bug” if it is considered a bug, regarding application association with recommended formats.
During PA installation you get to choose those options
Installation 1.pngI have ticked Associate PA with recommended formats
Installation completes and when you open PA the defult theme is Windows Ribbon.
When I changed it to Classic Theme, PA restarts for changes to take effect and then I get the below popup (Sorry I have a greek system)
It asks: Do you want PA to associate with recommended formats now?
Options: Associate for all users and Never show again.
Popup 2.pngI could swear that once I was changing themes and icons all the time to see which one I prefered and also toggling PA.exe to run as admin and windows compatibility mode and got this popup twice or tripple times.
Well this one does not bother me at all, I just posted it for the records if needed! -
If I the Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked, when double clicking inside archives on files supported by the internal viewer (PDF, JPEG etc.) they are opened in associated application rather than on a new tab in PA internal viewer, which is expected behavior.
Next, if the Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking on archives associated with PA in Explorer they are opened in new PA instance when there is another one already running, which is expected behavior.
But when Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked AND Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking inside archives on archive files they are opened in the same instance of PA with no way to get back to the parent archive. I would expect, that when the user doesn’t want to use tabs AND want to use multiple PA instances, that in such case double clicking on archive located inside another archive, the second one would open in a new PA window. -
I’ve made the sections of the output bold to indicate where the typo is.

Hi,
The tooltips for the “select/deselect all files” buttons on the status bar should be the other way around. Presently, the select all icon has a ‘deselect all’ tooltip.
In options, when one clicks on the always on top button, is it meant to change colour to signify that it has been pressed? There is no such indication at the moment.
When I first started PA, there was no icon showing for touch mode.
It looks as if my lifetime registration key does not give me the burning capabilities or the Virtual Disk feature (hoping to see if the new version would work) that I had in PA 2015. A bit disappointed in this. From looking at my account I only have a personal key and it looks as if I should have been given a toolbox key as I have had in the past.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas

I would like to mention some bugs as well here instead of making a new thread if that’s ok.
First thing is (and that gets annoying) that if I use the classic style then every time I open an archive 2 windows pop up before PA starts. One shows “tu4” and the other “tu5”. If I use the explorer style this don’t happen.
Second thing I came across so far is that I can’t deselect the option “use explorer only inside archive” in the options menu. If I deselect it and click on ok and I open the options menu again, it is still selected. I can only deselect it via the menu bar. Then it keeps deselected in the options menu as well.
Another thing is when I use for example the “Classic Light” skin and click in the options menu “Modern Toolbar” then PA says in the status bar that it is “Sorting files” and can’t be used anymore so I have to close the program. If then another window gets the focus, the status bar says “Loading file list” and PA can’t be use anymore as well.
I might be editing the post if I find other bugs.

can you send over your .reg file in cab? Just to be able to reproduce.
I can reproduce tu4/tu5 debug windows when classic archive listview is used, but i can not reproduce 2nd one, it might be tied to some other options as well!
Thanks a lot for the report!

yeah, it seems we disabled it in main menu in classic since it is not applicable to classic… should it be disabled in classic? I think in this case that it should be disabled in classic, even though I generally do not like disabled options but here it should work well.

Under the View menu it works fine. It happens when I try to change it in the configuration window.
I tested a bit and it seems that PA locks up “directly” (with the text in the status bar) if an archive is opened. If no archive is opened then it seems that just nothing happend. PA seems still to work then. You can go to the configuration window again and see that a classic skin is still selected but the “Modern Toolbar” is now checked at the same time. You can go throug some menus in the toolbar but PA doesn’t seem to work properly. For example PA doesn’t open archives if I try to open in the toolbar or menu bar.

I just found another bug.
Some archives with the extension .rar, .tar, .zip (maybe files with other extensions as well) don’t have the option “Extract here” in the shell menu although it is set in the configurations. I couldn’t figure out so far why it affects some archives with said extensions and others don’t. And for that archives where the “Extract here” entry is missing, when I click on “Extract to [filename]” the “Open with” dialouge of Windows appears and wants me to choose a program for opening the file, where PA is pre selected.

Here is the latest release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release16/powarc160042.exe -
The problems I mentioned are gone with the new version. But I found another bug. PA seems to have problems with multi volume .rar files (*.part1.rar, *.part2.rar etc.). Whenever I open such a file, PA asks for the next volume even if it exists in the same folder. And it displays the volume name in many chinese characters although there are nothing asian characters in the file or in the file name. To view the archive I just have to click on cancel or on ok for every volume.

ah, annoying! Thanks for the report… just to confirm, extract will work fine, both main and shell while error will show only when opening in main PA (but will work fine).
We will update once again… let us know if you notice anything else. Thanks!

Ok,

thanks a lot ckit!

Since this seems to be the PA 16 bug thread…
1. Updated to PA 16.00.46 from auto update of PA 2015 required new license key without any warning that I noticed. That would be really annoying if I wasn’t already on support and perpetual licenses.
2. Launch the PowerArchiver Encryption Suite, Click Encrypt Files, click the Red X to close window and get an Access Violation dialog. On Win 10 November 2015 x64 Enterprise Edition.
3. Select a group of files in File Explorer and pick Compress To…|Compress With Options… and get the PA 2016 status dialog over top of the options dialog and clicking the options dialog doesn’t bring it to front - the status dialog is always over top the options dialog (!). Have to drag options dialog out from under status dialog. (Note: This may be (partially) related to my having DisplayFusion running and set to move new windows to the monitor my mouse cursor is on and I have two monitors.)

This “In options, when one clicks on the always on top button, is it meant to change colour to signify that it has been pressed? There is no such indication at the moment” has not been fixed as of version 16.00.48.

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!

Ok,
Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.

My previous bug report (check original post for screenshot) remains in build 50 and “Use Checkboxes” disabled or enabled has nothing to do with it.
In options:
Browsing View set to Details = Buggy
Browsing View set to List = fine
Browsing View set to Thumbnails = fineAfter switching to Thumbnails and then back to Details, Details is fine until PA closed and restarted again. Once PA is loaded things are missing again.
Haven’t really found a workaround for the missing items in the Tree pane either :(

didnt get to it yet, it requires more than just a browsing view on default + details it works fine. I will check with Ivan if he can take a look at this tomorrow since it is a larger issue. I can reproduce it with your reg at any time so thats good!
edit: if you move to Classic Light skin for few days, that will work. It only happens with Classic Dark skin.
edit2: wrong colors are set, thats why it is missing… it is there but with white text color. -
Confirmed using Classic Light skin works and I’ll keep using until PA 2016 Final is released.

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.
-

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.
-
Folder icons for the Open dropdown list in Classic mode (Classic Light and Classic Dark) do NOT match the icon on the toolbar. In Modern mode (Modern Dark\White skin), Open archive droplist list everything matches perfectly!
The Extract dropdown lists are perfect across the board so far.

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 blahCan 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%

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

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

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.

latest version:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160060.exeIt 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.

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

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

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 ;) .Regards

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
-
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?

Final is out:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160061.exeUpdated translations and smaller graphical changes to better fit various translations, etc, etc.
Thanks everyone!
