Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?

@By-Tor:

Another problem I discovered is that after ejecting the flash drive, I lose the icons configured on the host system for associated files.

PA returns associations as they were before (as long as you are using the latest version, we updated U3 version several times in past month).

Problem might be with icon caching in Explorer. Same goes with dll caching. Only way some of these things can be “fixed” is restarting explorer.exe or your computer.

After going through the process of restarting and using TweakUI, the icons still went back to the default icons. I had to reload the skin I was using before I got my icons back.

basically the answer to the last quest is simple. The computer does not know that power archiver is alreday installed on the computer so when u take the u3 package out of the usb port it simply deletes the details of powerarchiver from your system.

The simply answer that every person is missing is that powerarchiver and the u3 package do not work togther how can they. The u3 deletes all powerarchiver detail;s on exit including icons. basically if you use the u3 package then u will need to reinstall the powerarchiver that is already on your system.

you can not have two pa’s on your sytem at the same time thats the problem if using u3 package.

I have yested this with and without powerarchiver alreday installed on my computer and have come to this conclusion from the results i had .

except that your conclusion is not true… those two versions will work together just fine. As long as you properly use the USB stick it should be great.

what do you mean by default icons?

[By-Tor]

@spwolf:

The default icons as used by PA for associated archives as opposed to the ones used by the skin I use - SmoothVista.

[davidsplash]

as i correct that the u3 package actually gets rid of itself after it is taken ouit of the usb port. if so how can it detect that two versions of pa are different.

I had exactly the same problem with portable thunderbird and open office.

I was told by their developers that its because they don’t recoimmend suing u3 packages with standard windows versions of their packages.

ah, I thought you got NA icons… we will check it out, thanks.

i dont really understand what you are saying. U3 and Desktop version of PA will work fine on same computer.

However, while you are using U3 version, then you should not use desktop version at the same time. Once you eject U3, you can continue using desktop version as you were before.

PA uses different registry keys for U3 and desktop version, so there are no conflicts there…

is there hope for a localized build of the u3 package (german) and the option to store the registration information into an .ini file (like SpeedCommander U3)?

sure, if enough of people ask for it…

maybe earlier? register on every PC i plugged my U3 drive is not an option. To register SpeedCommander without registry you can put a “register.ini” in the homefolder with this content:

[register]
KeyCode=abcd....
RegOwner=efgh...

the same can be done with the settings (of the u3 version - also stored in registy or am i wrong) and its easy to implement

11.5 has been out about a month; will the U3 version be far behind?
