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?

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 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.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.

Extracting a folder from an archive

PA 2007 beta3
Having a problem extracting a folder from an PA password protected backup.
Though I’m first to admit it could be due to my misunderstanding of how this new version of PA does things, especially with the Queue option in it.
Created a password protected test backup containing 5 folders, 2 files in each.
To Extract it I opened it up in PA:
Selected a folder to Extract and clicked on Extract:
Selected a destination and then I get the message, Error The password is incorrect.(see screen shot)
Not even getting the option to type in a password. Unless I select Add to Queue, if I do that it works just fine. So maybe that is where my misunderstanding comes into it.
If I create a normal Zip file then I can extract a folder from it as I wish.
Nor really understanding why it should be different between a normal zip file and a password protected AES file.
Is it a bug or not ?

basically PA doesnt ask you for an password when you select folder to extract…. bug.
thanks,
-
. bug.
Fair enough. Will just use the queue option for now.
Luxor
-
Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Beta 4. Also selecting “All files” - not just “Selected files” works fine. This is same as “Add to Queue”, since “Add to Queue” can extract only all files.
-
Sorry guys but it’s not fixed in Beta 4.
Incidentally. If I extract a folder from the backup archive by using the “Add To Queue” option It is extracting the entire archive, not just the selected folder.
Luxor
Oops ignore the last bit as I just noticed that you said “Add to Queue” can extract only all files. Doh! :o
-
Still unable to extract a single folder in Beta 5
Luxor
-
Still no fix in beta 6

Not fixed in Beta 7.

Did you check PPM in Configuration, is the wrong password stored there possibly?
Since If I just use new zip file, and select folder only and use selected files setting when extracting, PA asks me for the password and works fine?
-
Hi Spywolf.
Did you check PPM in Configuration, is the wrong password stored there possibly?
Don’t use Password Manager it’s disabled so no chance of the wrong password being stored there.
Since If I just use new zip file, and select folder only and use selected files setting when extracting, PA asks me for the password and works fine?
Yes I mentioned that in my first post. No problem with a normal zip file at all. It just seems to be a problem when trying to extract a folder from a backup password protected AES file.

can you attach one of the files here? Just create some small test archive and post it here, and let us know how did you create it (options).
thanks,
-
Ok Spywolf here you go.
The Password is: test
Created a new Backup called test comprising 5 folders with 2 txt files in each.
File name and destination in this instance is C:\PA-Work\Zipped\test.zip
Add each folder to the archive. Include Subfolders is ticked ( I just leave it that way).Next screen: Configure Backup Options
Compression Format Zip
Method: Add (and replace) files
Compression: Maximum (slowest)
Protect with Password: selected
Type password: test
AES 128 bit: selected
Add Timestamp to archive: selected_DMY
use as suffixStore relative folder information (not full location): Unselected
Show ‘Backup Done’ when finished: selected
Run silent if executed from Windows: UnselectedNext Screen: File Time Options
Include files:
Of any timeNothing else selected on this screen.
Next Screen: FTP Options
Nothing selected.
Next Screen
Just click on Do Backup
To extract a folder from the archive.
Open Powerarchiver
Find the Backup.
Double click on the Archive this opens it on the PA-Work folder.
Double click on that folder and there are the 5 folders in the backup archive.Select a folder any folder, I picked testfolder3.
Left click to highlight that folder. Click on Extract on the toolbar.
This of course brings up a window asking where to extract it (anywhere)
choose selected files click extract and every time it’s Error: the password is incorrect.Hope this helps.

Now I get it, thank you!

Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Beta 8.

Great. :)
You will have to wait for me to get back with a report if it works. I’m off to hospital for an operation so I could be missing for a few days.

I’m back.
Fixed in Beta 8. :)
