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. -
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.

Crash at Exit with PA 10.2 Beta 2
-
PA 10.20.02 on XP x64
Open PA with an empty archive, close PA, boom
First-chance exception at 0x0049890f in POWERARC.EXE: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x1a000008.
according to VS 2005 -
I run windows XP Pro SP2 with the latest updates as of 2 weeks ago and installed the same PA Version but did not experience this issue??
Did you do an upgrade or a clean install??
try uninstalling the program, then delete the PowerArchiver Folder in Program Files. Reboot and re-install then to be safe restart again!
If it still happens then send an error report to PowerArchiver Support.
-
Open PA with an empty archive, close PA, boom
What is an empty archive ?
What archive format? -
My mistake on the empty archive: it’s open PA without an archive loaded.
It was a clean install after a uninstallation of PA 10.2 Beta 1.
I already tried the reinstall/reboot Sir Richard suggested. Same problem.
-
How odd?
If not already try this then (only if you know the registry)
1. Uninstall PowerArchiver 2006/07
2. Delete “Program Files/PowerArchiver” Folder
3. Delete Registry LinkHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver\
then… if you have any registry cleaning software such as CCleaner or tune-up etc… do a full registry clean!
Restart then re-install…
If it still continues then it must be a fault with the program or something on your system is causing a conflict.
-
Tried the procedure but that did not help
However, I have more information:
the crash occurs only with the classic skin, not with the ribbon interface.
The Default blue skin works nicely.
I though it may have been Windowblinds causing the problem. I unloaded Windowblinds and run PA: with the Windows classic style, PA does not crash, with the Windows XP style, PA crashes.That’s really odd.
-
Well, I have PowerArchiver :: Classic
Windows XP - Appearance XP Style / Color Silver
But no crash.
If you can reproduce it, provide/attach a DR Watson Log File (Zip). -
Did I read the original post correct that you are using the 64bit version of XP or is it the 32?
I’m not able to reproduce, but I’m using the 32 bit, so maybe it is a 64 bit problem.
-
I think I reproduced the error… it ocured when I did the following
1. Open PA With Silver Default Ribbon
2. Change to Blue Default Ribbon
3. Change to silver default Ribbon
4. Change to classic
5. Change to Silver default(I couldnt replicate it all the time only when I was clicking and changing skins like a mad man)
the errors are as follow’s (does it look familer?)
-
Yes, I am using XP x64. The errors reported by Sir Richard looks similar.
-
PA,
I will forward those results via your support page for you to look at!
Cheers crew, Vykranth Hopefully, this will support PA to amend the problem ready for the next release!
-
those are two different bugs - we are looking at 64bit one, already reported here while i will move sir richs to new thread…
p.s. devs on vacation until sunday, so expect new release in 6-7 days…thanks!
-
To be fair spywolf this is the 1st error I have personally experienced with PA in a long time!!
Looking forward to the next release, keep up the good work!
-
Please check with Beta 3 preview:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1020b3.exeand let us know if it works properly now.
thanks!
-
Hiya,
I don’t have the crash at exit I experienced intially.
I did have one crash when changing from the classic skin to the modern silver sking but I cannot reproduce it anymore.I will try again later to see if I can reproduce it systematically.
Thank for the early preview. As Sir Richard said, it has been a very long time since I reported a problem in PA.
Keep up the good workVykranth
