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).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
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?
Best,

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?

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?

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 archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

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.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

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.pdfCan 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.

Which archive format will give me the most compression? Not worried how long the archive will take. I will be archiving text, pictures, mp3s
-
Hello!
Definetely 7-ZIP format, Ultra compression level (method) with Solid archive option checked. Be sure to check “Create Solid archive” if you are compressing more files, because this is the only way to save some space if you are compressing MP3 or JPEG files.
The thing is that MP3 and JPEG files are already compressed and the only way you can make archive smaller than sum of files you are compressing is to use “Solid” option.

True if archiving a mixture of filetypes.
However, I have found that for an archive of ONLY jpg files - then CAB results in smaller archive.
Same for archive of ONLY mp3 files. -
I’m new at this. I have an e-book with an extension.pdb. I don’t seem to be able to extract it. I don’t have a Palm hand held but I have an e-bookman. I
would like to change it to a text file. Can I do this with PA? I just bought the PA this week. TIA. I’m at jude50ic@charter.net -

if you don’t mind not being able to update a file in the archive like cab com pression does then take a look at uha compression not supported by powerarchiver yet. it is by far the best in compression stakes and beats 7-zip hands down

Not when compressing JPEG - cab is still better.
A folder containing 5 camera pictures (jpgs)foldersize 8376868
cab 8361174
uha 8364139
7z 8411285Edit: before someone else says it :p
rar 8377222 -
there is a limit on the cab archive. you are limited to the saize of ut where as uha you are not just like the zip format used to have

If you really don’t mind waiting for a “while” and the compressed files’ size isn’t too big then you could use WinRK at PWCM-level compression. Be warned though that it REALLY takes a long time but has close to 68% compression for mixed files when using its own .rk file format.
With both 7Zip and PowerArchiver i got to the results of 59,275%. I also tried compressing 5 .jpg files with 7Zip, PowerArchiver and WinRK. With WinRK it gave a 5% compression ratio, with 7Zip 1,25% and PowerArchiver 0,86%. This of course was only with 5 JPG-files as i didn’t have more for the time being, but theoretically it would show that WinRK is abt. 4 times as efficient with a single file type compared to 7Zip and abt. 6 times compared to PowerArchiver.
I would seriously recommend 7Zip as your main compressing program as it is very fast even at Ultra-encryption compared to WinRK, but if you need optimal compression for a bunch of files and dont mind waiting for a couple of hours/0,5GB then your choice is clearly WinRK. Otherwise, as said 7Zip is fast and easy.

When compressing compressed files such as mp3 files (or some graphic format), compression ratios are so low that it is better to use the fastest compression just for archival purposes. I am assuming that when you wrote 0.68% for PA you mean PA zip - it is probably much better just to compress to zip with no compression since it is 10x faster than 7zip or some other format.
In any case, we are discussing compression in PA and as general rule of thumb, 7zip is the best compression in PA. But if you are compressing already compressed files, then zip is much faster and better solution.
thanks
