I'm a 23 year old student of ICT (programming, mainly JAVA and C#). I'm from the Netherlands, bla bla bla.

I hate essays so I won't write more

Hi Chaoskiller,

The alpha team's a pritty tight team to get into. But, one way to show your interested is to start using the forums.

Give the Developers & Alpha team a feel for your idea's on ways to improve powerarchiver and it's plugins.

Not to mention identify Bugs and remember to make it step by step with potential pictures to help the team try and replicate that sinario.

Its also advised you list your primary PC spec's, you will notice the alpha team do this and other Beta public testers.

If you show your desire to help conexware make their software better! then come the next alpha vote im sure you will be considered.

Good points made there.

Let's start with my computer's specs:

Itel Core i7-2630QM (2 GHz Quad Core)
8GB RAM
NVidia GT 555M at 1920x1080
Windows 7 Professional with Windows 8 Release Preview dual-boot

Great!,

Now it's the norm to keep your "primary" system specs on the forum as a signature.

Obviosly, if you are like me you may have 1 work system and one home. Just use the PC that you use the most and have admin rights too.

Because you may be asked by the dev team or you yourself may want to change settings to see if it resolves an issue at some point.

Other than that, write your posts clearly. if you have any ideas that you have about powerarchiver tools, features or even new requests please post them.

If you feel it's for the dev team only which can happen, just email them via the support page.

Your a programmer, so you are more than aware that at Alpha "prealpha" you are accessing potential unreliable software and even more importantly a glimse into the future of the program.

So it takes time for the dev team to trust a person to reach alpha level as you can fully understand.

We obviosly dont want the competitors to get wind of any new features in the testing motion before it's offical.

If you are a PA fan, you will remember the time we brought out the 1st ever archive tool with ribbon interface.

Winzip soon followed.. and in our opinion they still cant get it rite

Ow, and speak your mind! if you feel pasionate about something dont give up but explain why. I still remember arguing the toss over why PA should have FTP! and adjustments to the way it looks or works in certain aspects and many of them are still in thought and some are in the program and to me thats the rewarding aspect.

hope this all make sense and welcome!

PS: Remember, there is 2012 Beta 2 out now so start testing buddy!

I am using Powerarchiver 2012 at the moment, it's stable, but has a few issues which need addressing but other than that it is a vast improvement.

I am installing VMware tomorrow and will be running Windows 8 and will be trying this on Windows 8 to see if it works as well.
