    • PowerArchiver 2022 Final does not find external DVD-Burner

      U

      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”)
      /
      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      Is there an option to preserve this data? (I haven’t found it in the program settings and I have already enabled the “save complete folder info” options in “Compression Profiles”)

    • 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%

      K

      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.

      “DisableClouds” and “DisableExplorer” seem not to be respected at all, while the classic UI seems to respect the setting to disable any other unused module:

      Hi,

      After a long-ish battle with my win 7 install, which I had been using for many years, I am now on a virgin 8.1 install. It has been configured to be identical to win 7 as possible.

      Two minor issues:- Installing new skins is impossible as PA is installed in the program files folder, so it is a permissions issue. I did fix this by brute force in my last install so would like advice on how to fix it here. Do I use the “take ownership” context menu?

      The other thing is that PA still takes ages to load. What the heck is going on behind the scenes that it should take so long? Honestly, I did not see any difference thyat the startup optimisations made in the v17 line of PA

      Cheers

      DrT

        @drteeth dont you have access to soon-to-be-beta PA 2018? Check out its speed vs PA 2017.

        As to the skins, give us a link to example please (of a skin you are trying to install). It should be installed to app data.

            Thanks both for the info on where to put skins, I will check it out.

            I do have access to PA 2018. I will download it and have a play. It wiuld have to have a considerable decrease in startup speed to be really noticeable. Also, the second and subsequent starups are not that much faster than the first one of the day.

            Cheers

            Update about beta. I downloaded 18.00.08 and it seemed to put a lot more in my install folder than just the powerarc.exe file. I did rename my original file before the install. Can I still revert by swapping these two files? VERY impressed about the speedup improvements.

                Hi all.

                WOW! Now that IS a serious drop in loading speed.

                Regarding the skins issue. I cannot get any skins from the PA site to load at all no matter where I place them on my hard disk. The skins I was experimenting with are Slate and SmoothVista.

                Can I get updates via Patchbeam or must I download them directly from this site?

                Cheers

                  @drteeth this week should be start of 2018 patchbeam updates, but not yet exactly. Things are still moving at fast pace.

                  Full skins are not supported anymore like that… new skins coming up soon. But Slate and Smoothvista interfaces used to work with directskin that stopped working properly with x64 version. However toolbar icons should still work (not tested in 2018 yet)

                    I had to stop testing as I found the unregistered version nag screen that appeared too annoying. If it can be removed, I will start again.

                    Due to the nature of the beta, I assume that I can have both PA 2017 and 2018 installed and usable at the same time? Is that correct?

                    I asked about downloading via patchbeam as I really do not like this forum software.

                    The good news is that I have retired by old Win 7 partition and am now on Win 8.1 x64, so the Virtual Drive feature is working again. YIPPEEEE!
