    • 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.

      I have a directory with a VMWare virtual machine in it. There are four files, three of them just a few KB big, but the fourth is about 12GB. I right-click that directory and select “Compress to ZIP + Options…” from the context menu. In the options dialog, I set the ZIP format with “Super fast” compression. I set multiple disk spanning to “Custom” and enter a maximum volume size of 4500000 kBytes. No other changes to the default settings. When I hit the “Add” button to start the process, PowerArchiver crashes immediately without any further information.

      Oliver

      Update: I just tried, for the fun of it, to create the zip file without any spanning, but it doesn’t change anything. What’s wrong with wanting to compress a 12 GB file?

        So you did NOT activate the option “Make Large Zip File” - I would try this first.

          Whoa, now that’s a good hint :-) I didn’t notice there was such an option! I selected it now and the process seems to be running. Mea culpa…

          Now, in the hope that a programmer or similar is reading: Why on earth is there such an option? Couldn’t the program check for itself whether the size of the archive is too large for the “normal” case under 4GB? And shouldn’t there be some kind of notification, instead of the silent crash?

          Thanks a lot, Terry!

            Hi Terry,

            it should not crash anyway - option is there because different ZIP format is used for over 4GB files. In our future release, this option will be default because by now everyone has an archiver that can open these large files (which was not the case few years ago).

            thanks,

              You’re welcome.
              What you can do until the “future version” of PA; is create a Compression Profile for Zip format and activate this option there.

                    neither, once you do clean install, this option should be set by default. In any case, Help correctly states that it needs to be checked.

                      No. if it is active by default then it does not need to be checked. In fact if the check is done by PA, it should be removed/deleted from options altogether as it no longer has any meaning.
