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. -
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?
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.

Cannot Open GZ Archive
-
I am unable to open the archive at this location:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/putty-0.55.tar.gzI am given an error that says “Error in TAR/GZIP file structure” and another dialog box immediately after “DynaZIP-GT Error Problem with structure of GZIP/TAR file (Problem extracting files(s))”.
This archive extracts fine on my linux machine with “gunzip putty-0.55.tar.gz” as well as “tar zxf putty-0.55.tar.gz”. However, once I gunzip the archive on my linux machine, the TAR archive opens without incident with PA.
I am using PowerArchiver version 9.01.01 (August, 2004).
-
Also, PA test (via shell extension) shows:
“Error in TAR/GZIP file structure” and another dialog box immediately after “DynaZIP-GT Error Problem with structure of GZIP/TAR file (Problem extracting files(s))”
twice !
Followed by the “All Files OK” dialogue :eek:
I agree that “other” utilities can extract OK (under Win98). -
thank you, we will take a look!
-
if you use winzip on this archiver wit will show the archive inside the first one (the tar one) but once you click on the tar one it sayes garbage in gzip file, decompression ended. Basically it means either a corrupt archive or wrong/ incorrect file names. However you can click on the tar file and it will open up in either winzip or poweratrchibver depends on what proigram is associated with tar files.
In my opion better error catching and handling in needed like winzip for powerarchibver, though its not totally its fault its a faulyty archive naming thats at fault.
Powerarchjiver should have been able to work round this problem like winzip did.
-

…
better error catching and handling in neededPA does need better error handling/reporting.
However, that doesn’t explain why only PA and Winzip have problems with the file.
Other utilities are able to extract this file OK e.g. 7-Zip (among other windows programs) and Gunzip(Linux) according to DaCypher. -

It is quite possible that other utilities dont check headers or just ignore the error.
-
I thought PA showed 2 error messages here?
Well, PA-Extract shows Four error messages (The two error messages are repeated).
PA-Test shows the same four error messages - followed by “All files OK” :p
I assume that these repeated messages are caused by
- Gzip (header) - first pair
- Tar (access fails because of Gzip header) - second pair
Not sure what the “All files OK” message means.
But this is confusing - that is what I meant by “does need better error handling”. -
There is an error in the gzip archive? I guess its not serious enough to cause a failure of file extracting as gunzip has proven to not have any problems with it. If there is an error in the archive, maybe a notification to user of this and then continue to extract it as this appears to be feasible?
-
On another note, I tried extracting this archive on my freebsd machine and got this:
$ gunzip putty-0.55.tar.gzgunzip: putty-0.55.tar.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
Not sure if this is due to a different gunzip or what. Either way, the current PA behavior with this archive seems like it could be handled a little better. :)
-
Thanks!
I found the problem with .GZ file with garbage and our GZIP engine. I have addressed this problem for version 9.1.
In the meantime I have fixed behaviour when using “Test” and some other part of application - now correct error messages are shown.
-
You can Test new per-release here:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release/powarc901.exeIt will show proper error now (archive still doesnt work).
thanks,

…
It will show proper error now (archive still doesnt work).Downloaded and installed on top of PA 9.01.01 (then rebooted).
Test (shell extension) shows dialogue “Error in TAR/Gzip” twice !!
Is this double/repeated dialogue correct (intended) ?
Seems wrong (having to click OK twice)?
