      I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
      I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
      I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
      With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
      The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
      Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?

    • PowerArchivier don't save Created and Accessed timestamp

      W

      Quando creo un archivio zip con un altro programma ad esempio Winrar se apro il file con Winrar vi sono visualizzati anche le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      Se ottimizzo quel file zip con la funzione Ottimizza archivio di PowerArchivier (o creo un nuovo archivio) il file risultate non ha più le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      C’è una opzione per preservare questi dati? (Non l’ho trovata nelle impostazioni del programma e ho già abilitato le opzioni “salva info complete cartella” presente in “Profili di compressione”)

    • Unlisted pbs files

      pirrbe

      Upgraded from 2021 to 2022. Selecting ‘backup’ no scripts are showed. Only after editing and saving an existing script (explorer) it shows up in the PA backup folder.
      So is the ‘backup’ icon to open the Backup screen only for creating ‘new’ ones. This means that you have to open ALL your old pbs files and to save them again… not user friendly.
      No way to improve this ? Thank you.

    • Access violation with scaling > 100%

      Hi,

      I have a 31" 4K screen with 3840x2160 pixel, which PA is able to handle - except of a scaling other than 100%.
      When changing scaling for this screen to 125%, starting PA brings the following exception:

      Access violation at address 0000000..DF47A4 in module 'powerarc.exe'. Schreiben of address 0000...00330.

      After closing this message, PA seems to work fine.
      PA version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64bit (tested with Win 10 and after upgrade Win 11)

      Is there any chance to avoid this access violation or this message?

    • Problems with registry restrictions on PA 2021 and sending reg codes

      Hi,

      I thought, I’ll give it a try and upgrade my PA 2018 Toolbox on my production machine to PA 2021 (20.10.03)

      Sending registration codes in your order recovery doesn’t seem to work at the moment (I also checked my junk folder), online activation works Using registry to disable modules (for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\PowerArchiverInt\General\DisableBurning) doesn’t work as expected with modern ui. The module is visible, but I’ll get the trial nag, if I try to open it. It’s almost fine in classic and ribbon mode.

      Hi, i used to be able to do this on the universities computer who had power archiver installed but not on my own computer at home and that is when ever i right click on a file i wish to compress at university it says compress to “Filename”.zip (this is what i want to do) at home when i right click it says compress to “Folder the file is in”.zip This is annoying as why would i want to call my new zip file the folder it is in. So how can i set it so when i right click it will compress to the nane of the file.

      Also could i ask if you could make this a default setting on newer versions.

      Thank you
      Anthony

        Windows Explorer right click menu choices are configured under “Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions”.

        However, right-clicking on a single file (e.g. foobar.txt) in Windows Explorer does offer “Compress to foobar.zip” as default :confused:

        If you right-click on a folder, that is when it offers “Foldername.zip”

        I therefore assume you are right clicking after selecting multiple files and want to compress each one individually - if so, this is not possible (at least, not yet - it is probably one of the oldest things on the wishlist).

        To compress multiple files individually, you should launch the “Tools/Batch Zip” utility from within PowerArchiver.

          Yes you are right but what i am actually wanting to do is choose a bunch of files and put them in the one archive with the name of the file i have right clicked on.

          So if i have three files (say two txt files and an exe file) i select them all but then on the last one (eg. the exe file) that i want the zip file to be called i right click on that last one and instead of giving me the name of that file to zip up with it usually says either Desktop.zip or New Folder.zip depending where those three files were located. I do not want this. So is it possible to change to this.

          This used to work at university so im sure its possible

          Thanks

            OK - with you so far
            @Anthony1uk:

            … but then on the last one (eg. the exe file) that i want the zip file to be called i right click on that last one …

            But here, you lost me :confused:

            If I do that, then the other selected files are deselected, I am now only compressing the last file - so I am offered “filename.zip”.

            If you meant shift-click (or ctrl-click) on the last one to select all the files - then it works as I said : “FolderName.Zip” for multiple files.

            This used to work at university so im sure its possible

            Not in windows explorer, maybe you were using the new archive/add to archive dialog within PowerArchiver when the zip file had already been named?

              Thanks for all your help on this but i will show you what i am meaning i have uploaded a screen capture of my computer desktop as an AVI format, I have uploaded it to a you sendit file here to show you what happens when i try to right click zip something

              http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=14F5PTNTIRBPR1JBOEGTPNUT8K

              What i want to do is select a bunch of files, right click and have the zip archive to be the name of the file i right clicked on like i say it definitely used to work at university. It may have been a different zip program i was using at uni but i am sure it was power archiver, and if you say it works then i am assuming its just my computer acting up as if you say its possible but it does not seem to work for me.

              The screen capture will show what happend.

              Thank for all your help and patience on this.

                Ahh, you are not using Windows Explorer ! You have files on the desktop and are “lassooing” them (Click and drag).

                Just tried this, it seems that if you lasso shortcuts, then right click on one of them - only the target of one you rightclick on is compressed (so individual filename.zip is offered), but if you lasso actual files then all are compressed and it works the same way as I described in Windows Explorer (with the foldername being DeskTop.zip).

                So, it actually works the same way as I decribed before.

                  Thanks but is there anyway that i could set it now or you could set in future releases that if i choose three objects and right click on one them the archive will be named what i right clicked on.

                  As to me it seems strange it would only give you the option to call it desktop.zip i mean why would anyone want to call their archive that?

                    Because that is the name of the directory/folder the files are in. If you saved them to
                    “C:\Program Files\This Is My Program”
                    Then the Zip would be named “This Is My Program.zip” :rolleyes:

                    You could create a Folder on the desktop “This Is My Program”, move your files into it and then Zip that Folder :)

                    You could always make a request in the Forum Wishlist - however, I’m not sure how you think PowerArchiver would pick which of the filenames to use from the list provided by Windows Explorer or how users would be able to control it.
                    Choosing (and/or lassoing) and then right-clicking depends on Windows Explorer and not PowerArchiver. The filenames are then passed as a list to PowerArchiver via the context menu.

                    Usually, the order of files in the list is not important.
                    Maybe when CTRL-clicking explorer provides the list of files in “selection” order (last clicked is last in list)?
                    Don’t know what the order would be when “lassoing” though (alphabetical?).

                    P.S. I’m another user I don’t work for Conexware/Powerarchiver :D

                      Say you want to put aa.txt bb.doc and cc.exe into cc.zip.

                      Right click cc.exe and create cc.zip containing just cc.exe

                      Then select aa.txt and bb.doc and drop them on to cc.zip

                      cc.zip will now contain copies of all three files
