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.

2007 beta 3: stored password in .PBS file becomes corrupt
-
If I create a .PBS file and protect the archive it creates with a password:
-
The first backup is OK;
-
The second and subsequent backups have the password corrupted (so cannot be read from and are effectively useless).
This bug is completely reproducible - every time I re-enter the password into the wizard it is corrupted after one backup is produced.
Fortunately, the corruption is visible as the password actually appears corrupt in the wizard (Tools | PowerArchiver Backup | Create/Edit …), and I attach a picture of what I see.
I am running Vista Ultimate.
-
-
What happens when you extract password protected file? Does it work with original password?
PA actually encrypts the password. However there might be an problem between that and Vista, so please let me know about question above.
thanks,
-
The original password itself (not just its appearance) appears to be corrupt. I cannot use the password I originally typed to extract files from the archive, so the archive is effectively useless.
-
i had the same problem with several files on my computer a while ago, seems like you have a file corruption or somethig wrong with hard drive. which operating system are you using and have you tested the archive in any other archivers and what font are you using and lastly what keyboard language are you using.
Havce you redone the test to see if it wasn’rt a glitch. What type of files are in the archive?
-
No hard disk corruption or similar - at least as far as I can ascertain given the limited number of tools that are yet available for Vista :cool:
The backup job is automatic every night, and I have done it on demand as well. No difference - the reported behaviour happens every time.
The contents are a great variety - Office 2007, OpenOffice 2, emails, text files …
The point about trying the archive in the core archiver is a good one, and I will install WinZip and 7-Zip on another machine to find out what happens there. (Obviously not a solution to the PowerArchiver issue, but at least it would help narrow down the problem).
-
Tried WinZip 11. If I open the first archive created after the .PBS file was created, I can extract files.
If I open the second (or later) archive, I cannot (see attached picture).
So the password is “really” corrupt …
-
Have tried duplicating this in WinXP Pro Service Pack 2 and its fine.
As mentioned above its very possbile its a glitch with Vista esspecially if its a “BETA” Release version!
You could always try duplicating this backup in version 2006 PA 9beta and not 2007 and see if that helps.
I think PA still have a good few more betas to release before the final version and tobe honest you shouldnt be using Beta versions to backup files that are important to you in the 1st place.
Obviosly if you are testing the product then this is a great example of issues that may apear with vista version.

it is possible that encryption of plain text password might have some issue in Vista - we are checking it out.
Did you try entering weird password from password screen in the password box of the 2nd archive?
thanks,
-
I tried cut-and-paste from the PA password box into the WinZip one, but it didn’t work. (The apparently-corrupt password has a lot of characters which can’t be directly typed using a UK English keyboard; that might have something to do with it failing).
