PA Queue does not compress file optimally with same parameters if used in Queue mode.
Being able to save advanced option, and set a default profile and archive type for compression so I can save clicks.
The above two are majorly affecting my efficiency with archiving stuff with PA 20.10.03.
Can someone confirm if they are resolved with the 2022 RC1?

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

I’m running W10 Pro on an HP i-7 machine with now 32gb of RAM. The system drive is an SSD.
In the course of sorting out some inconsistencies in a couple of my .pbs jobs, I’ve been paying close attention to the system CPU resource and power consumption of PA Starter, as shown by the various resource management tools. I’ve also been trying to identify why my system seems rather sluggish despite some extensive tuning for speed etc.
When I have enabled Starter as a start-up programme, to use the PA Queue facility, I see that Starter consistently uses between 10-13% of CPU, with High Power consumption indicated. It runs, consuming this resource, irrespective of what may be happening with PA and any pbs script jobs.
I can understand a need to use a good chunk of CPU when Starter is actually handling PA jobs, but it shouldn’t sit and consume this amount when it really isn’t doing anything but wait for a job to start and for which it is needed.
Perhaps I’ve missed a way of lessening Starter’s impact, but in the meantime I’ve adjusted my set-up to running PA without it.
Suggestions, please.

Bug: When I use the right button on any folder to bring up the menu and click on e.g. compress or decompress, the program still requires registration even if it is correctly registered. When working with the folder, via the running Power Archiver, everything is fine. (Windows 10 - v. 20.10.03)

Hi,
The window size is suddenly “large” Resizing the window to normal size works for the current action, but isn’t remembered The next time I’m using the shell extension, the window is large again, so it seems the size change isn’t saved
I’ve got a strange behavior with the progress window in PowerArchiver 2021 shell extension:The progress window of PowerArchiver itself has its normal size.
Is there a possibility to reset the shell extension window size?

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.

I have a “USB2.0” DVD-RW drive with a blank 700MB CD-R inserted.

I’m using 20.10.02. When I try to drag files from an opened zip to a folder in Windows File Explorer, PA does nothing. It uses a CPU core and starts the clock, but no action is taken. I have to end task in task manager to get it to close.

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

I’ve found a bug when trying to test an encrypted, 28-volume 7-zip archive of a 18.3 GB folder containing 41,751 files. The test fails, showing errors in all files.
Here’s the folder I compressed, and the 28 resulting files:Archives
Here’s the multi-volume compressed file opened in PA, showing the total file count and the full archive size:Opened in PowerArchiver
And here’s the test results screen after I click Actions -> Test…, showing an incorrect file count and archive size (this seems to be the file size of the first volume alone):Testing results
One important detail about the test screen above is that PA opens an UAC prompt asking for privileged execution before starting the test. Is this the expected behavior? It seems PA wouldn’t need higher execution privilege since everything it’s touching is owned by my own user.
In any case, granting or denying the UAC prompt results in the exact same screen.
Now, if instead of testing the archive I tell PA to extract the contents, the operation works fine (and with no UAC prompts):Extracting
With the Properties panel for both folders, the original and the extracted one, showing the exact same file count and total size:Extract results
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi,
Currently on the 2021 20.00.55, updated, and licensed.
I have been facing this issue since 2019 version.
Queues don’t actually do anything
That I run powerarchiver starter as admin, or without admin.Then I queue some files, and most of the files take forever, to go from 1% to 2%
and let’s say if the 5th of total 10 files are stuck that should mean the other 4 should be completed, but no, the directories are just like that.
Using Queue feature makes the Powerarchiver to process and compress files, but the PA archives do no appear, neither the disk’s total used space changes.
However if I manually compress files without queuing, no matter if I run multiple compression or one by one, there’s always success.
sometimes compression is stuck at certain percentage for a 50 or 200 MB file, forever.
I want to speed up multiple compression, I find the batch compression feature useless, as I cannot configure any custom parameters or advanced option under PA archive format
So, Let me save parameters(Advanced Option) of Profiles
i) Either I should be able to customize PA Default profile, so I don’t have to select files and manually select profile, but not even single parameter can be saved
ii) Or I should be able to create a new profile and be able to set that as default.
It’s end of 2020 and I have been trying to reach Powerarchiver team to add this, but no one wants to listen or do anything.Refer case PA-FCW-TLNFM-096
I still cannot save parameters under advanced options like DDL/EXE filter to delta, or PNG PDF Filter, or set zlib to 9 or dictionary size or experimental stuff.
Soo many Revisions and versions released but I still cannot have a profile saved with whatever I want, be it existing or new profile.
Don’t you guys at Powerarchiver labs get frustrated everytime you have to configure these parameters manually?
When I stop an ongoing compression process, that is stuck or let’s say it’s not stuck but I click on cancel and then on No, it still continues compression for no reason.
If I start compression and pause, the progress bar shortly(progresses) reaches to completion, but no compression is done, and then archive is stuck forever
Just cancel itFor all my claims above I have sent ticket today with screenshots from my registered email.
if you can:
Batch archive is good idea, but if I have multiple directories inside directories, then I want first child directory to have all of it’s subdirectory compressed to that same first child directory
Example
I have a folder in D:\pics
that folder has following folder
Cats
Dogs
FishesEach of the above folder has sub folder:
Black
White
Fluffy
ColorfulI want those sub folders(black, white, colorful, fluffy) not to be compressed individually, but the cats, dogs and fishes folders to be compressed individually

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!

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

Will PA support windows xp 64bit?
some other compression utility that I wont name here dont as the shell extention doesnt work right now
-
-
thats not a good thread to look at and I dont want to bring it up by responding there. Basically we have to re-write shell extensions in 64bit and then they should work. When we get time, we will check it out and see if it works.
Problem is that Win64 does not support 32bit shell extensions, and hence they wont/dont work…
-
ok thanks for the quick answer

Basically we have to re-write shell extensions in 64bit and then they should work. When we get time, we will check it out and see if it works.
That means, x64 support is far away? You gave the same answer for sfx support, but in the last four years you didn’t find time to update the sfx support. It seems that the only way to get x64 support is to use another archiver. :(

Interesting, we certainly did update PowerArchiver over the years, did we not? :-). Of course, feel free to use any software you wish to use. As I said, we will check it out once we have time (since 9.5 is priority), if we can get it to work, great.
-
Yes, of course you did. But some users are still waiting for self-decrypting .pae files. ;)
But I think it’s not only done with rewriting the shell extension. Even a 64bit shell extension has to check if the right-clicked file is an archive. So you have also to move your archiver libraries to 64bit too.
-
Could you make 1 shell extension work in x64. It only has to work in the alphas. It doesn’t have to be in the final. I would like The extract to folder (name)
Is very annoying to have to work from with in main window to extract….
Thanx…

Hi!
I hope 64 bit support will be available for PowerArchiver too soon.
I understand that it involves some work to convert it, but I think you guys will make more and more people very happy with this. A very good way to go ahead of the competition!
Besides converting the whole application to something 64 bit, I think it is possible to use the simple context menu options really simple with the use of command line switches. I know some people fixed it for WinRAR as you can see in this forum: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=311399&pid=585832076&st=0.
Could you please instruct us Windows XP x64 people how to do such thing for PowerArchiver?
Thanks in advance!

The shell extension / context menu items of PowerArchiver are accessible from the 32-bits version of Windows Explorer by using the workaround described on http://www.extended64.com/blogs/bhpaddock/archive/2005/05/22/539.aspx.
I do not know the exact implications from this, but it is usefull for tools like PowerArchiver, TortoiseCVS and others.

Hopefully we will check it out soon enough so we can see if it is possible for it to work properly under 64bit…

Any plans already to release a version with support for Windows XP 64-bit?
There is a lot of talking about it on PlanetAMD. I am sure you win some new customers if
64 bit support is implemented. WinZip doesn’t got it yet (but something called Squeez does). I only don’t want all that other stuff, I want Powerarchiver! -

We are working on it - I hope this month we shall have patch for Win XP x64.

Any chance for x64 support in PA 9.5?
-
It should be available for testing quite soon.

- I’m not getting any shell ext at all. I tried turning them on and off. Also in combination with the shell ext from winrar.
Do you want me to check some reg keys ?

ok, so you WinXp x64 users - make sure PA installs under Program Files and not Program Files (x86). Windows will not let shell extensions to run from x86 folder!
This is only valid for people who had already installed PA on the computer so PA’s installation will look at last installation folder. New installations will go into “64bit” Program files by default.
thanks!
