Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks

When viewing a zip archive with .TGA image files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA) the file preview shows Unknown Picture File Extension (.tga).
Seems strange that such an old image file format is not supported. -
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.

Hello. My problem with Powerarchiver is as follows:
First of let me say that I am running a Windows 7 Starter edition on my Toshiba NB505 laptop. You can see my specs if you google it. Needless to say that it has very limited resources and has low ram and roughly 1.66 GHz Atom processor.I am currently using the latest version of PA. But mostly the tasks I do with it are create and uncompress zip files, as this comes in handy with my needs for compressing older files which I dont need. There is where it comes my issue with program and it is just that version after version it becomes harder for my computer to load and create zip files and 7zip ones. Needless to say that the same goes for zipx.
I have been using PA for a decade and its a good program but it is just that the current version has things which I don’t need or seldom use it, such as the preview file panel, and also the explorer tabs, skin customization and the nagging conexware update tool. Thus I was just asking, Does it exist a minimalistic version of PA or perhaps some ultra light version of it?. Something which it can be run on older computers.
Please don’t say to install an older version or going back to 2003, as well, this is not what I had in mind. I know that I could use the command line version but for me usng a GUI is more convenient. Regsrding compression speeds, I mostly use deflate for legacy zip files on the fast setting.
So far what I am doing is to set PA to use the classic skin windows view and while it does alleviate some of the lagging symptoms it doesn’t really seem to make the program to run or load faster.
Any help or advice on my problem?. By the way, I use the PRO version as that’s my current license. By the way, does PA has any pdf user’s manual or reference book? I see there are changes and numerous functionality that has been added but I have no clue on how to use it. I hope somebody could help me with that as well.

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.

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.7989017c-3cd2-4a99-a1f6-06ce62329dec-image.png
“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:
In settings I won’t be able to access the SmartAI settings and the settings for the internal editor if the FTP module is disabled

Re: Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively
I’m sorry if the dev team is affected by pandemic, and if anyways that is affecting their quality to provide quality software.
But honestly, it’s been an year I have been complaining about the queue feature, it is taking them ages to fix.
referencing the above bug, I have been waiting patiently, but the bug isn’t fixed at all.
The old queuing bug where PA gets stuck randomly, isn’t fixed either.
The Bug where you keep 10-15 files in queue at once, will cause the software to miss few in queue.
and sometimes it would compress into a corrupt archive, so you have to manually open each archive and make sure everything is there as expected.
There’s way too many bugs, and I see none getting fixed.
I’m disappointed with this software.
I should have sticked to 7zip or given a shot to other archivers than this, at least they don’t provide update once in 4 months and fix nothing.

Is there any way to reset the compression profiles back to install default??

When viewing an archive I want to be able to preview the text files within the archive. In past versions, there was a preview pane on the right side of the screen. How do I enable this in the most recent version (20.10.02)?

Hi guys,
I have some mistakes today with PowerArchiver Installation with GPO.
I checked permissions of the share folder and I already installed some app from this.
I have downloaded 32b and 64b it’s the same problem.
App is on the install list of the GPO, but don’t install on the client. All app can be install but only powerachiver not. What the hell !So i tried :
Checked : security of share folder --> ok (install of other app ok!)
RSOP checked --> nothing special
(obviously force GPO, multiple reboot)Can you help me please ?

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.

I was looking around in PA 2021 20.10.02 and discovered an issue. When I hit close to close out of this window, nothing happens. I have to go into taskman and kill the PA application.

Is there a command line to include the Registration Code when pushing an install using Microsoft Intune/Endpoint Manager?
I am able to push the software, but I’d like the PowerArchiver to be registered when it gets to the workstation instead of entering the Registration Code on each workstation individually.
Thanks

Hi,
The “Print button” to create a file listing of the files in the archive opens an empty drop down menu.
there are some issues with the UI in the classic interface:
610bb5df-42a7-4a67-85ab-163ca0c655a9-image.png
Clicking on the empty entry let me save the file listing as txt file, the entry for html files is missing completely. The toolbar for the file preview feature is cut at the window edge. Options on the right aren’t accessible at all.Kind regards

Hi,

SOLVED Why is .pa extension not offered in my Powerarchiver Pro software anymore?
-
When I bought a license to use PA Pro a couple of years ago I could create and work with the extension .pa which was unique feature of Conexware’s new codec pack. However as of the time of this post in 2019 it isn’t the case and it is not being offered in the recent version of PA Pro. Why is it?. Instead each time I want to create such a file the program wants me to purchase a license of PA Toolbox. Could it be due a branding change or what?. So far I’ve returned to 7 zip which is free or the already .zip which is within PA. Can somebody give me an insight or an update of what’s going on?.
-
There definitely isn’t a problem with your license, it just seems that it does not have the Advanced Codec Pack(.PA format) included. We did have a couple of earlier 2018 versions where the .PA format was unlocked while it was not supposed to and that was a bug. Upon solving the bug, it worked as intended, for PowerArchiver users who have the advanced codec pack.
You may renew your license through your account at www.conexware.com/shop, which will include the .Pa format as well. -

Hi Chris!
Thank you for contacting us - can you contact us at support@conexware.com so we can see the details of your original order. .PA format is tied to Advanced Codec Pack, not Toolbox, and you can get Advanced Codec Pack in Standard, Pro or Toolbox versions. Toolbox offer is just a special offer that makes it significantly cheaper to buy for existing users. To get Advanced Codec Pack, users could purchase yearly renewal or discounted Toolbox, Standard, Pro upgrades depending on their original purchase.
However I can not be sure what is exactly going on in your case without checking your order, so please send us info on email you used for the order and login to get upgrades via support@conexware.com.
thank you!

This pretty much answers in some way that in order to “create” .pa files one should purchase Tools as they cannot be created by PA Pro. Did I understood it correctly?. Because my existing order already allows upgrades for the PA Pro and it is a pitty as mentioned that it is not allowing to create .pa files anymore but instead shows a window to purchase Tools which is something I don’t want at the moment.
-
No, you didn’t. It’s possible to create archives in PA format with a Pro edition. It’s dependent on the time of your purchase or your “Select plan”:
The Advanced Codec Pack enables the .PA format and is included in all PowerArchiver licenses that have been purchased with PowerArchiver 2017 and beyond. PowerArchiver users that have purchased PowerArchiver prior to version 2017, have the opportunity to obtain the Advanced Codec Pack as a part of the Select Plan. Once obtained, the Advanced Codec Pack will remain a part of your license, including when the Select Plan expires.
As you already were able to create PA archives, maybe something went wrong with your license. Simply contact the support as @spwolf wrote.

It seems that my current plan allows as mentioned to get lifetime upgrades to all new PA versions. I did purchased a PRO license years ago well before the existing 2017 edition you mention. However I was able to create those .pa files which is something I can’t do now. It looks that to “use” .pa one has to have a select plan (purchased separately?) and I cannot use .pa or create those files when that plan expires?.
Probably this seems to explain why I cannot use those files anymore, however I don’t think it is a problem with my existing license.
