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.

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.

.REP File Association Problems
-
Hello.
We use a program called Business Objects which creates business reports with the extension .rep which are emailed out to staff within a zip file.
Upon installing power archiver 9.5.1 it takes the association of the .rep file away thinking that it is an archive type file.
What archive program creates .REP files ?
I have managed to take back file association through windows file properties “open with” however there is still the issue.
When the .rep files are contained within the zip, the icons on the files appear as Business Objects. But when you double click on them power archiver does not look to the windows extensions list and tries to open the .rep report files as archives, which fails saying the file is corrupt. As of course its not a valid archive as they are report files which PA thinks are an archive.
How can we get these files to open from within the zip with the correct program. I’m do not want to retrain/change work procedures for about 50 users spread accross the region just because Power Archiver gets itself in a jam :confused: .
Any help or practical work around would be appreciated.

This can be prevented in PowerArchiver {Options : Configuration : File Formats}

As a workaround, use the PowerArchiver {View} option. When you activate the option {Options : Configuration : Miscellaneous : “Prompt when view button is pressed”} This allows you to choose “Open with Associated Progam”.
Hope that helps.

Sorry, I have no idea :confused:

Thanks Terry. I already had that set, and it does show busobj.exe (the Buiness Objects executable) in the open with list. However if you click on it using the open with method it still returns the same error as I mentioned above.
“PowerArchive can not open this file. It does not appear to be a vaild archive. Note: check the files is not in use. If you are trying to open an EXE file, it may be corrupt or is not in the proper format. If you are trying to open a multi-volume ZIP archive, please open the last file of the set.”
Why did PowerArchiver add the .REP file type in the first place ? One I can’t find any references to .rep archives in the first place and two it makes my 50 or so copies of PA that I paid for useless as I can’t roll it out to my users.

Are we talking about the same thing? The PowerArchiver View dialogue does not have an “open with list”? It shows “View Using…” and a “View” button to activate.
Highlight the file in the PowerArchiver window and then use the Toolbar button “View”.
Do not double click the REP file as then PA will still try to open it - not sure why :confused:Why did PowerArchiver add the .REP file type in the first place ?

If you disable the REP association in PowerArchiver and use your Buiness Objects executable to reapply its own association for REP files, it should work - are you saying it doesn’t.
I think that when installing/upgrading PA, you can use the options:
- Associate PowerArchiver with recommended formats
- Show configuration options for first installations
By de-activating the first and activating the second, the “Options/Configuration/File Formats” can be used to deactivate the PA - REP association (and any others you wish) at first run.
Note: I cannot check for real REP files, but this does work with a TXT file I renamed as REP and then associated with my text editor, for example.
Note: I did a Windows reboot to ensure the associations (in registry) were updated/reloaded correctly. -
.rep are used as game files for some games, and are compressed zip archives, which is why that happens.
