    • PA2021: Cannot close ZIP Comment

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I can’t close ZIP archive comments. Neither in archive nor in explorer view the “x button” works. I’m testing with PA 20.00.73 (x64 and x86)

    • Powerarchiver 2021 incorrectly extract tar.xz file

      Configuration:
      Powerarchiver 2021 20.00.73

      When extracting gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz , Powerarchiver wrongly thinks some .exe files have a length of zero:

    • Is PowerArchiver 2021 stable?

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I just saw, that on the Website, PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.73 is advertised as latest version. (Actually, the downloaded version says, it’s 20.00.70 in the about dialog)
      But it still comes with the “red icon set” for preview versions and has some known unfixed bugs, as I read here.

      Is it sufficiently stable to be used on production systems?

    • Bugs I found and wanted to share with the team.

      B

      Hi I recently bought PowerArchiver and found some bugs and issues that I hit testing some of the features out.

      If you are doing a backup and on the compression options screen its default is compression format is PA with no option to change disk spanning. If you change to 7-zip you can change disk spanning. If you change the disk spanning then move back to PA format the field for disk spanning disables but the option stays set to what you changed it to. When you do a backup it will use PA with files spanning but PowerArchiver says that its not a valid format when you open it. If PA can’t really do file spanning then this screen is allowing it.

      I have attached an image where the progress bar is in the middle of the CD/DVD/BD Tools screen.

      alt text

      I have a 7-Zip file I created using the backup tools doing an increment backup. It opens and extracts just fine but if you using the Test option PowerArchiver locks up. Link to file: Backup-2021-02-05-20-35-36 TEST LOCKUP.7z

      On any Zip/PA/7-Zip process the pause and cancel buttons do not work. You have to hard kill the entire application to get out.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      There would be many of us with Intel Processors.

      and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.

      Reference:
      https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdf

      Can we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?

      Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

    • PA and conflict with Antivirus

      G

      I’m using the Kaspersky Total Security.

      I have configured PA as exclusion as followed:

      PA Exclusion.png

      and also is set us trusted application

      PA Trusted Application.png

      Scenario:

      My Antivirus likes to scan for everything, and it’s safeguarding behavior is to prevent the access to the file until the file is properly scanned for.

      The issue:

      PA when losses the access to file, it is stuck, consumes Resources, and never completes the process or throws any error

      Recommendation:
      PAStarter should also work as PAMonitor:
      There should be a monitoring process, at least if I’m using queuing feature, that should check for never ending compression processes and terminate them so the queue can be little bit automated.

      Also,
      There should be multiple attempts at retrying if PA loses access to or is denied, instead of having to see process was stuck for longer duration.

      Or, better, save the parameters I used for keeping the files in compression, and automatically restart the whole compression process after termination the same, of same folders and files set, this should happen in case if compression was stuck.

      Tech Support
    • Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively

      G

      If you use Queue Feature, you are not saving on space, you are just squeezing less.

      Here’s explaination:

      https://youtu.be/XcxG2wxyink

      I did test the same on multiple files, and of different types.

      It does have large difference for each large file you are trying to squeeze.

      Folders with multiple files, just have no benefits if you use Queue Feature

    • Problems with Color-scheme after upgrade to build 73

      Hello!
      I am using the portable version of PA2021. After switching from build 58 to 73 I have problems with the color-scheme:
      While 58 behaves like expected and showed everything in light or dark colors according to the settings, 73 always shows the lower part of the window in dark colors, no matter whether I select automatic, light or dark.
      This happens on a clean installation of 73 as well as on an update from build 58. I have attached two images generated on the same machine at the same time with the same settings. The upper shows build 73, the lower 58. Is it a bug or some changed setting I miss?

    • PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe

      U

      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:

      Description Faulting Application Path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 10.0.17134.165 Application Timestamp: 4031a9f8 Fault Module Name: StackHash_e78e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: PCH_8D_FROM_ntdll+0x000000000009AA54 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 10.0.17134.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: e78e Additional Information 2: e78e327659b46c9a0c6916396b253cbf Additional Information 3: cebf Additional Information 4: cebf952c5db535ae7880488aafce55d9 Extra information about the problem Bucket ID: 1a57e4e784fbc735c231c68bd88581a9 (1311047270476906921)

      I know this is a very nebulous explanation but is there any way to link this up to PA shell extensions as the cause? I can provide the crash dumps and additional information if necessary.

            It either isn’t finished or it’s the most totally unintuitive, baffling even, thing I’ve ever seen.
            I just press New and it chooses DropBox for me with no way to change it!! But I no longer use DropBox, only Google Drive.

              where did you try to create new one?

                @spwolf Ah. I’ll try that. I was doing File / Clouds / Configure clouds.

                  I’m getting really bizarre results with PA 20.00.53 extracting this rar file by drag and drop into the root of a USB flash drive (using extract here).
                  The directory structure is really weirdly mangled.

                    thanks, seems to work fine from main PA.

                      @Brian-Gregory I can successfully connect to OneDrive in Windows XP. However, I can’t connect to GoogleDrive. In the Authorize dialog box, I see a message:

                        Just installed this version, I am using DisplayFusion with a DF Taskbar at the top on my second monitor, PA opened full screen underneath the toolbar. When I moved the window to monitor one, with the Windows 10 Taskbar at the top of the screen, PA was still taking over the whole screen and under the Taskbar.

                        Maximizing PA caused it to properly not take the whole screen but rather fit under the Taskbar in the client area.

                        Also, there is no standard Windows System Menu (Alt-Space) to make Maximize/Restore/etc. possible when the window is misdrawn.

                        Opening Configuration takes a very long time, and the main window appears to be responsive but isn’t really available while waiting for Configuration to show up.

                        Also, picking SmartAI | Configure SmartAI brought up the Configuration dialog behind the main window which makes the main window stop responding, and Alt-Tabbing away and back just causes the Options window to show up behind again. Always on Top may be enabled, I can’t tell because clicking it turned it bright blue, then it went dark blue, and clicking it won’t cause it to go back to dark gray.

                        Pressing ESC closed the Configuration dialog and then clicking Always on Top turned it back to dark gray.

                        When the Main window is fullscreen (but not maximized), the lower right corner double arrow (is it really necessary to avoid all Windows standards and make up your own controls?) does nothing - dragging it or any window sides will not resize the window even though it is not maximized.

                        Clicking the Applications button at the upper left opens the vertical icons bar to show the application names associated with each icon (like Windows Start Menu). Clicking the button again causes the expanded names area to close, open again and then close again (!).

                        This is way less tested than I expected.

                            @wilsonp And you’re blaming PowerArchiver rather than Display Fusion why exactly?

                              @Brian-Gregory Because additional taskbars on screens are a fully supported Windows feature (since at least Windows 7) and there is a standard Windows API for creating them and having them managed. All other programs have no trouble understanding that there is a taskbar at the top of the second monitor.

                              Also, I disabled the DF secondary Taskbar and enabled the stock Windows 10 second Taskbar. When I opened PA it came up (with the nag screen behind the main screen!) it was maximized from when I closed it. When I clicked the max button to restore, it took over the whole screen over top of the Windows 10 standard Taskbar on the top of the screen.

                              Once PA is sized to the client size it no longer displays this behavior - it appears to have just happened on install.

                                Having one issue with the RC1 - when extracting a zip file using drag and drop to a network share, it prompts for UAC - which I allow - and prompts again, and then keeps on flashing up but not extracting anything - and there is now way to close it down other than logging off/shutting down. Seems like the UAC handling is broken at present. This is not an issue with the current production version, where I use this a lot of the time.

                                  Another issue found: I have compress to ZIP and compress to ZIPX setup on the context menu. If I do a compress to ZIP it is actually compressing to ZIPX :-(

                                    here is the setting change needed:

                                    10f58a48-70cc-422a-8209-35805c380a51-image.png

                                    change it back to Deflate and it will be fine… Thanks!

                                      @Mili will take a look at this!
