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.

enlighten us

when Modern was default, it was around 85%, when Classic is default, it is around 50%.
We changed default to Classic for inexperienced users who dont know that they can change that setting, while more experienced users (that usually do use Modern) know how to change it and in fact, do change it.
-
Dam rite!
We discussed in previos forums that Winzip during install asks if you are an Experienced (Advanced User) or a Beginner then during install it sets Winzip for that type.
eg, advanced had more options in the menu and more icons for futher features! and beginner had the basic functions and little options to confuse the user.
Wither we could murge this into PA is up to the developers.
-
I don’t really know if it’s a matter of experience. I never really liked the modern interface. I just like the symmetry of the classic interface. It’s just more natural to me. Just my 2¢.
-
Hi By-tor,
I can understand what your are saying the amount of people who say the exact same when they look and use 2003 office vs 2007.
“I just prefer the classic look”
But then again, if we listend to those people all the time we would never have Apple OS or Vista Style we would still work on windows 3.1 style :D
-
tiny toolbar is what I use these days :-)

@Sir:

One of the first things I do on fresh install of XP or Vista is turn on Classic Menus. :p That’s where I take issue with the Advanced/Beginner question. There’s no loss in functionality switching to PA classic menus. It’s not like the difference between Nero Express and the full version of Nero - no “wizards” popping up to help you along the way.
I guess it’s a matter of what people feel more comfortable with. It’s purely subjective. After more than 20 years with computers, I’ve just grown comfortable with certain layouts.
-
Just curious. Why Is there not button the configuration & menu to go the skin page right away? Now I have to goto www.pa.com myself.
Update: Classic has one in menu. Not in config

I’m just one of those people who likes new things, I am not against the old style in fact sometimes its nice on the eye and I can agree that sometimes software vendors can get a bit over the top on the GUI!
But by-tor you are correct! it is all about user confortibilty.
-
@Sir:

You just broke my spell checker. :p
-
Sir Richard had a good idea about WinZip, maybe the advanced/novice user question during install could be dismissed in favor of a simple “which interface would you prefer?” question. Maybe showing a mini-pic on the install dialogue of both layouts. Less offensive to some :p and perhaps, more to the point?
-
Hi Crunch,
We already have that on the newest 2007 version after a fresh install, However, Good Idea to murge into that an option to select the level of features you want PA to have.
I was thinking about this the other day and it would be slightly difficult to gain an idea of what basic users would want differently to advanced users.
Basic probably would have read capability on all archives but could only compress with the most common type “Zip, RAR and 7zip” Things like creating your own archive type “profile” would be disabled/hidden.
what are you trying to say that i am too the point??:rolleyes:
-
if you hide something from the users, it wont ever be used… so selecting 2 interfaces is quite enough.
-
fair point :D I think maybe were just over complicating the whole setup of PA, After all the best software is the type you can install quickly and get using as soon as.
-
@Sir:

Now that would really confuse beginners :p

its like paying for the full monty, and getting limp bizkit :-).
