Dear PowerArchiver Team!
As I unfortunately found out, there is a big bug in Powerarchiver, which causes the compression rate to drop really significantly! I wonder if no one has noticed this yet? Are you guys still actively developing?
The following error occurs! (This is already as I find a blatant error!).ERROR:
File extensions and formats are not recognized automatically! If a file name e.g. Mütze.jpg is simply “renamed” in Mütze.txt, or
Mütze.png, Mütze.mp3, Mütze.pdf etc. each time a DIFFERENT compression algorithm is performed on the SAME FILE! Remember! The file extension was only renamed, so the file extension e.g. from .jpg to .txt is only by Rename changed! Just take a .jpg or .txt or .pdf file and change the file extension, you will see see this error! No headers are read automatically! Is this really wanted?Then the perfect compression algorithm can never be found and optimized by PowerArchiver? You should investigate this dramatic error once absolutely!Greetings from your trusty Konglomat!
Please stay healthy and make PowerArchiver more powerful than ever! I am looking forward to future updates! You are still awesome! Please keep up the good work! I love PowerArchiver, really more than just about anything!And will probably buy and use it for eternity!

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.pdfCan 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.

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

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

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).

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-1.jpg
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.

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.

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.

The cloud thing in PA has NEVER made any sense to me.
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. -

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

@Mili will take a look at this!
