    • File Explorer Shell Extension crash on Junction

      W

      Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click

      This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.

      When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.

      I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

      The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.

      Either there isn’t an update OR
      the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired.

      Hi,

      When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.

      What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?

      Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?

    • Power Archiver Starter - CPU and power overhead

      PA_Fan

      I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.

      As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.

      In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.

      Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.

      I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.

      It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.

      However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

    • Slow multipart RAR extraction

      A

      I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.

      I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

    • Action Move - Not Working in Tools - Batch Archive

      G

      Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.

      Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.

      When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.

      Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.

    • Need to find out how to disable "all users" to end UAC elevation prompt on running PA

      Q

      I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.

      PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

      Ok, I should have done this first. I upgraded to PA 2021, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling. I did that now, and it took care of the problem. Must have been something with upgrading from the previous version too the new one.

      I resolved the issue.

      How to reproduce(it is my assumption):
      Install the older version of PA 2021 than this, the one that came before x.x.62
      run it once, then install the current version.

      PA queue & PASTARTER will get bugged.

      I got the issue resolved as I had to reinstall OS which has resolved the queue issue for me.

      this is the same reason mili was not able to replicate the issue, because she runs a fresh environment for all testing.

      Hi,

      You can obtain the original file from here:

      https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/in/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-y-series-laptops/y50-70-notebook-lenovo/80ej/59428436/cb32343883/downloads/driver-list/component?name=Power%20Management

      For Lenovo Y50-70 win 7 x64 bit, power management, get lenovo energy management

      Run the exe it will extract the installable drivers to C:\drivers

      I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
      Extreme, strong optimize.
      image_2020-12-27_195344.png

      This resulted in negative compression.

      However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:

      PA Negative compression.png

      I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

      Hi,
      I have come across some strange behaviour that must not be by design.
      This happens under different, though similar circumstances.
      This is how to reproduce it.
      Find a large-ish archive. I used a 3GB archive as I have a fast PC. Load the archive and test it. Now one just has a window showing the test progress. Now click on a window under the progress window and now you can see the bug. I have a PA icon on my taskbar and it does NOT have a line underneath it to indicate that it is loaded and there is no easy way to get the window back until it appears after the testing. Other progress windows are similar.
      The only way to get the progress window back is to use taskmanager.
      The expected behaviour is that there will be some indication that PA is loaded and that one can use it to bring the progress window to the top.
      OT:- When viewing a text file in PA, there is a line does the middle of the window - when will it be removed?
      Cheers
      DrT

      @Mili

      It only shows up for a split second, you have to really be paying attention. If I had to hazard a guess, the code that loads the fact that it’s a registered version isn’t loaded early enough during the application initialization phase.

      Hi @Mili , Further to the original post by @trparky why can’t current lifetime licence holders test 2021, I’ve had my licence a long time and have always used betas prior to 2019. Thanks

      @TheAndyMac said in Fast Ring: PowerArchiver 2021 20.00.53:

      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.

      @Mili will take a look at this!

      Hello @Skybird
      We show that one of the support tickets was replied to with information on how to obtain your PACL registration through your account at www.conexware.com/shop as PACL uses a different registration code.
      Maybe it went to Spam?

      Regardless, we have manually created your PACL license and have sent it to your email.

      Thanks!

      I think i’ve solved the problem. You have set up a user with limited options programs like powerarchiver need to be allowed certain options in windows same for Adobe. You might wnat to set up a new user with exactly the same options as the other users and see if that solves the issue

      The icons on the RHS of the title bar are very small and thin - I didn’t notice the help button there.

      In my Ribbon Interface under Options I don’t see a register button.

      PA2021-OptionsRibbon.png

      Here is the File Menu - the Windows standard was for menu options that open dialogs to end in an ellipsis, but Options does not:

      PA2021-FileMenu.png

      Perhaps I should say never mind… the Ribbon doesn’t appear to follow that standard in Office in any case.

      Thanks… After combing through the GNUPG docs and not finding anything I suspected they belonged to PA. What is odd is that I have not created nor imported any keys into PA yet.

      I would think (hope) you don’t have to manage them separately as having separate keyrings could lead to problems. Hopefully someone from PA can chime in on this?

      tried to reproduce this on a couple of machines and the issue did not appear in either case;
      Drawing.JPG

      can you export your settings in the config dropdown please, compress them to 7z and send them over to support at conexware dot com and will try to reproduce that way.

      Also, which windows theme do you have selected?
      Does the issue appear with this zip file only or it appears on others as well?

      Thanks!

      Thanks BigMike,

      I hate to say it , VM has a wide range of documentated cases like these the one’s i know of doing what i suggested helps, but not in all cases.

      Then your talking more time to investigate, which is when the question is raised why not do a rebuild seeing that this isnt an issue being replicated on other VM’s.

      But, it’s not a PowerArchiver problem as i’ve seen this across many other platforms and dll’s.

      Sorry i couldnt help further buddy, if you do manage to figuire it out please share we would love to hear from you again.

      Kind Regards,
      RJWaring

      Actually I think deleteing the file from the archive before adding the updated version again may not be working quite right either. The resulting .pa file seems to get larger!

      For now I will just delete the whole .pa archive and re-create it. It’s probably quicker in many cases too.

      @spwolf I just tested it

      Extracted it 4 more depths inside folders (7 folders in total) than the last try, which was 3 folders in depth. Same settings

      The program was not executed. It seems that the fix has worked :D

      Thank you all for your involvement in fixing this bug!

      @GiovanninettiR I assume this was simply PA format compressing pst file really well? I think we have even some special settings for PST and quite large dictionary which leads to great compression. Thanks!

      @JoeS said in Searching for the specific Regkeys needed to default new installations in Modern Windows 10 not dark view:

      When I push PowerArchiver 2019.00.50 by MSI, new installations come up dark. I know that I can put the registry keys I need to control user settings in firstrun.reg, but I haven’t been able to isolate the ones that I want. Specifically, I don’t want to open up in Dark Mode.

      So far I have tried “MySkinDir”=“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\SKINS\Light Solitude\”

      Thanks

      It is best to wait for next build where windows ribbon will be default… we will also have a new gui tool for commonly used settings out very soon. Thanks!

      @spwolf I am afraid that I will not be able to correctly understand the question, because I speak English badly. I will try to summarize my last post. I switched to using the Classic Simple (fastest) skin and now I do not have such a problem. But if I switch to the Light Solitude skin, then I begin to experience this problem. All of the above is also true for version 19.00.50.

      P.S. I apologize. After I gave the answer, I realized that the message was not to me. Now I understand everything.

      I think that pixelated icon has been around a long time if memory serves.

      yeah, ZIP SFX has been around forever… we were rewriting it last year but the main problem we had is that today, new SFX’s are considered in many cases as false positives. So no matter how hard we tried, we had at least >10 false positive warnings for new SFX.

      I’m trying running with the Indexing Service disabled on both my PCs now because it’s useless and just sticks on certain files which there is no easy way to identify.

      I don’t think I’m going to miss it because I already tend to use WHERE /r from the command line to find files since it usually gets results much quicker anyway.

      S

      This is the return of a previous issue. With an archive open and the file list longer than the window display, typing the first letter of the file in the list to jump to the first entry does not work. It will work if a file name starting with that letter is visible in the list window, but not otherwise.

      I am using version 19.00.47 64 bit.

      This happens when I log in as a Standard User without administrator rights and run the PowerArchiver as an administrator.
      If I log in as an admin, there is no such problem. If I log in as a non admin and run the archiver as a standard user account without administrator rights, then this problem also does not exist.

      @Brian-Gregory said in PA 19.00.43 Queue re-enabled every Windows reboot:

      Hello? Are there any intelligent lifeforms out there?

      Maybe… Enable PA 2019 Queue starts Starter when you check it (it asks for it)… but it will not start Starter at computer restart unless you check Start… box.
      Reason for this is for people not have to look for starter in Program Files folder when they want to see what is it.

      thanks for the details!
      We have confirmed both issues and both are logged in for fixing/addressing.
      Not sure if PA will be able to set share setting to On, but the dev team will check it out.
