    • 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

      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.

      File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archives

    • 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.

      I just saw, that there would be a matching string already:
      pas.resourcestring.Info: Password matches the Password Policies

      So using this resource string would result in an already translated replacement.

      Which version of PowerArchiver are you using?
      Also, does it happen with all mounted ISO files or a certain one?

      Tested the latest 2019 version and unmounting worked, so it could be something specific.

      @The_PurSpyk said in Context Menu Icons (right click in File Explorer), general comments:

      Hi

      I know this was an issue in the beta version of 2018, and it seems to be the same in 2019, the right click menu icons in File Explorer are red, the uninstall icon ion Control Panel is also red?

      When using the new Windows 10 theme, there is a lot of inconsistency between the different modes, in the burners, you have large colourful icons on top of the scree, in ftp mode you have very small icons, seems a bit of a mess at the moment.

      If you select Modern Toolbar, and have the dark theme on in Windows 10, the toolbar has a black background while the rest of the application is white, the 2018 version never had this issue.

      red is on purpose for beta versions being improved, but we also did some of it on purpose… in any case, we finished all the changes for next build, it looks tight IMHO. we can implement new windows dark skin for ribbon ui only for the ribbon part, not for the rest of the app as we cant skin only small part of the application while top ribbon is official windows ribbon ui and cant be skinned. You can change this option manually in under Skins> Modern Toolbar> Auto, Dark, Light.

      thanks!

      Hi Spywolf.

      When you are in the add-ins menu from the option and you want to open the configuration from an other addin like for example “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” do you get then the windows which tells you that this add-in have no configuration settings or do you get the window from powerarchiver although you have selected for example the “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” Add-in?

      MfG
      MDuss

      In the future update, we will remove separate add-in menu in options, so you will be able to configure it via toolbar only, as Microsoft wants. That way there is no confusion.

      @jra85 said in PA 2019: Small Folder Tree Icons on High-DPI Screens:

      Hi, I’m using PowerArchiver 2019 on a 27" 4k display scaled at 200% in Windows 10, and there’s a minor issue where the icons in the folder tree are small: https://imgur.com/a/G29i1HZ

      The icons in the archive content view appear to be fine.

      we can certainly scale treeview icons better… thanks for the report.

      Hi @Chris-Steinbeck-Bell

      There definitely isn’t a problem with your license, it just seems that it does not have the Advanced Codec Pack(.PA format) included. We did have a couple of earlier 2018 versions where the .PA format was unlocked while it was not supposed to and that was a bug. Upon solving the bug, it worked as intended, for PowerArchiver users who have the advanced codec pack.
      You may renew your license through your account at www.conexware.com/shop, which will include the .Pa format as well.

      @ianac said in Error during extraction from self-extracting archive (v18.01.04 - 64bit):

      Apologies for replying to my own post - hope i havent broke a forum rule.

      It seems there might be an issue with that self-extracting file linked to in my original post because i’ve just created a temporary Win10 VM to run it in and the self-extracting file also generates zero length files too.

      However i still think there is an issue with PA because an updated source archive was posted a few weeks later and can be found in this link… https://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-src-3.1.5-1.exe

      Running that self-extracting file does not create any zero length files but when it is opened in PA they are still shown as being zero length and the same error occurs when extracting them.

      0_1546200930237_ZeroLengthFiles-1.PNG

      seems like NSIS installer latest release changed something and our extractor does not work anymore (properly)? Will check, thanks for the update.

      Hi,

      I’ve just noticed, that the localization of the shell extension doesn’t work in PowerArchiver.

      My OS is Windows 10 x64 1803.
      If I right click in the standard explorer the PowerArchiver shell extension is localized.
      If I right click in the file listing insider PowerArchiver, the shell extension is English.

      @bigdog said in No Move with Compress with Options:

      Just curious why disabled with 7z format but not others? Basically the process is the same no matter the format. Copy files into the new archive, verify validity, and then delete (wipe) the original files.

      we have better access with other engines than with 7z/pa…

      Interesting… well hopefully that can be resolved at some point.

      @bigdog said in Options to Save Password:

      I found a new bug today when it is asking to save the password for encrypted archives. You can either hit Yes to save it or No to not only NOT save it but Never to ask again about saving it. The other option cancel should work where like it does on other apps. It cancels that current prompt but it may ask again later. Instead what cancel does it cancel the whole archiving process.

      Thanks for letting us know, we will check it out for next build.

      Using PA 18.00.58 (07/2018) 64-bit
      I have a .7z archive with all files encrypted. When I select 1 file to delete from the archive, PA deletes all files from the archive and gives an error pop-up window that the archive is no longer a valid file.
      I’ve submitted a ticket for this, but was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

      Brian,

      “In a shop”? How quaint :slightly_smiling_face: .

      It is difficult to buy a regular-sized mouse without them these days. Just look on Amazon.

      It also irks me when there is a functionality in windows that I use, that many programs implement and a few do not :frowning_face: .

      IMHO, not an unreasonable request.

      @spwolf said in Slow drawing of main window.:

      I will check if we can improve this. I dont think it was any different in previous builds.

      In previous builds I’ve never seen the scroll bar out of position like it is in this build.
      If it did occur it was obviously too fast for my old eyes to pick up on it. ;)

      might depend on number of files in the folder, but i went back to .37 and if folders bar + skins + hdd browse is on, scroll bar of the folders bar will be seen changing size at startup.

      I wrote it in… thanks!

      Hi spwolf,

      No worries about the late reply.

      As for your problem with many tabs, just have a “close all” option.

      What about my request to be able to use a mouse’s forward and back buttins to navigate the archive? I always press my back button first by instinct and only then realise that I have to use the cursor and my left mouse button.

      I look forward to the tab enhancements.

      @spwolf said in Tabs, empty windows and extra closing.:

      But good idea about something there if user is not using/browsing hdd? Maybe MRU archives? Or output from favorite archives window? @Alpha-Testers - i know @Brian-Gregory is using classic with folders, maybe he can give some input?

      How will this work with your proposal here?

      1st tab on opening with no arguments: Files and folders/folder pane shows “My PC” 1st tab on opening with archive: Archive content/folder pane shows archive folder structure opening an archive will open a new tab, folder pane shows archive folder structure opening a new tab by (+) will show MRU list/Favorites?

      On the first guess, I would vote for “Favorites” to fill the empty pane :-)

      Probably, that will make it pretty confusing for the standard user…
      But the pane should never be empty. That is confusing, too.
      Maybe restricting browsing “My PC” to explorer mode and using folder pane in archive mode consequently for Favorites/MRU and for archive folder structures, in case an archive is open, is smarter.

      both folder panel and browsing hdd in archive mode are optional features, default is that there is no folder panel and there is no hdd browsing in archive mode.

      So i dont think it will be too crazy for pro users… and it is useful for sure.

      @brian-gregory said in Alt+Enter in Modern Toolbar?:

      What is ALT-Enter supposed to do?
      It always used to be full screen toggle in the old days which is now F11.

      properties window… before it did not work in modern, also shortcuts were quite random.

      @darthpingoo said in Pressing tools buttons restarts app:

      @spwolf Are you planning to implements Ribbon in FTP/Backup/Burner tools too?

      We cant do it in main PA GUI, since we cant hide individual ribbon ui components, this is technology limitation of Microsoft Ribbon UI SDK that we use for ribbon.

      So people who bought Standard and Professional licenses, and also our Enterprise users that hide those from their own users (most of our Enterprise users limit this functionality as security measure), would have Backup, Burner and FTP always there which would be very annoying for them.

      edit: if you thought it pabackup.exe, paburner.exe, etc, yeah, it is possible to do it there in the future. We have to have both options since Ribbon UI is only available from Windows Vista & 7, so our Windows XP users still need to have classic interface option.

      @ckit Thanks, I’d forgotten about that setting. Changing that one to Notepad++ does allow me to use Notepad++ as the viewer.

      But why the two possible ways of choosing the viewer?

      Maybe the one in Settings should be the default but the one in the View dialog is completely non functional at present!

      Only the one “Office icons” showing now.
      But should that be there at all, going by your original reply to me.

      @spwolf said in Duplicate skin.:

      @luxor shouldnt be there at all since these are toolbar icons.

      yeah, that requires a bit more work, we need to add some new options to that config screen. I will write it up for later releases.

      @the_purspyk said in Configuration bug in relelase version of 2018:

      Seems to be working. Some small observations, during the installation, I dont selelct any of the option ie add items to Start Menu, but PowerArichiver is always added to the Start Menu (this has happened in all versions of the program, and i have mentioned this before). If the program is registerted, would it not be possible to remove the Register Icon from the toolbar. I got the impression initially that my program had not been registered, or grey it out.

      we will write it up, thanks.

      As to the register icon, it is under Options in Modern toolbar. You might want to change the settings, upgrade to other version, etc, thats why it is there… otherwise PA clearly states it is registered in about window and unregistered is removed from the caption.

      @spwolf said in Cannot perform simultaneous archive options:

      To create separate archive of each file selected, there is Batch-Zip option if user clicks on files> PowerArchiver> Batch-Zip. This will start Batch Zip tool which will by default create separate archives (and there are more options too). Thanks!

      I think this is what we need. Thanks for the tip!

      @Brian-Gregory so in one of the latest versions we now clean up old program group, rename it to PowerArchiver and also delete old shortcut to PA 2017. So now when you upgrade from 2017 to 2018 all is nice and proper on Windows 7 and earlier system. Thanks!
