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.

HELP! Shell integration completely broken.
-
Ok, first, the windows zipfldrs is completely broken, which is in no way the fault or even the responsibility of powerarchiver.
But I really NEED shell integration to unzip multiple ZIP files, doing them one at a time is not an option and neither is interacting with a GUI. I’m certainly capable of making the correct associations. However since the zipfldr method which powerarchiver attaches to is completely fscked, is it possible to use command line args instead? If so, what are the args? I have in mind something like the following(in the registry)….
powerarc.exe /x “%1”
The arg is obviously not “/x” since I tried it and it failed. What I want to achieve is the equivalent functionality of “Extract here” … which means unzip the files & close without any nags (as PA would do if zipfldrs worked correctly).
Please do not suggest fixing zipfldrs, it’s not possible without a complete OS re-installation (2 days work, many many apps), which this fix would help me avoid.

Welcome to PowerArchiver forum, Sigh!
first, PowerArchiver does not use Windows’ Zip Folders. PA creates it’s own association. you can repair it in Configuration > File Formats > Associate now.
Also you don’t need to reinstall windows to fix zip folders association. just right click any file > Send to >Compresses zipped folder… Then windows will ask you if you want to associate files. click Yes.
-
also, please make sure that you have enabled Shell extensions in Configuration > Shell extensions.
-
BTW: to extract multiple archives you can use the Multi Extract tool in PowerArchiver…
-
@NTFS:
also, please make sure that you have enabled Shell extensions in Configuration > Shell extensions.
Just to re-enforce this suggestion - if you choose the “Add as Submenu” option, then this should be available even when Zip files are NOT associated with PowerArchiver.

1st, yes powerarcher uses the zipfldr REGISTRY ALIAISING LINK, not the zipfldr.dll.
2, I’m really fcuking pissed that you dumbed down my real problem with some simpleminded filetype association newbee moron idiocy.
The REGISTRY for the entire shell extension integration is FCUKED! I’m NOT asking you for help on that. It’s beyond you, waaaaaaaaaay beyond you.
What I want is the command line arguments for powerarc.exe …what are the command line switches? That’s all I want to know. NOTHING ELSE!!!

@NTFS:

Yeah, IT’S FCUKING BROKEN IN THE FCUKING REGISTRY. Maybe you could suggest some magic “registry heal thyself” button.
I’ve run “regsvr32 zipfldr.dll” also run direct .reg scripts to restore all zipfldr functionality to its original condition, but to no avail, there is no shell integration on zipfldrs. When I install powerarchiver, it does all the right things, all the registry settings seem to be 100% correct, but guess what, STILL NO FCUKING SHELL INTEGRATION MENU. If it doesn’t work with zipfldr, just how the fcuk do you think it will work with powerachiver, which uses the same registry attachment technique as zipfldr.
If powerarchiver used actual command line arguments, then I could restore shell integration, but becuase powerarchiver attaches thru a registry key, {d03d3e68-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e} to be specific, shell itegration will not work.
So what are the command line args to powerarc.exe?
That’s all I want to know, nothing more, nothing less.
-
Just to re-enforce this suggestion - if you choose the “Add as Submenu” option, then this should be available even when Zip files are NOT associated with PowerArchiver.
Duuuuhhhh, NO FCUKING censoredcensoredcensoredcensored. But it does NOT.
That whole registry mechanism is totally fcuked. It’s beyond hope, totally not even a consideration at this point. I don’t want help with it, I don’t even want to mention it again.
All I want to know is the powerarc.exe command line switches. If I had those the rest would be a frickin cakewalk.

For command line use please try PowerArchiver Command Line:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/pacl/
It is free to registered PowerArchiver users.It contains all the documentation you need.

but here is what you want:
ShellExt Command line args for powerarc.exe:
Extract to…: -et
Extract here: -e
Add to archive…: -aZIP
Add to FileName.zip: -aZ -

you should be a lot nicer to people trying to help you deal with your issue. NTFS has correctly answered to your issue (-e).
