I noticed that the option to add the optimize archive function to the context menu is missing on Windows 10.
Opening each archive with the interface in order to click it becomes tedious with many files.
Same for others functions like Remove Archive Encryption
More Speed…

I noticed that while I was decrypting a PAE encrypted with AES that my dual core proc was only being used 50%. It would be nice to have powerarchiver use both cores 100%
-
it depends on what you are doing… currently only 7z compression will support both cores…
-
That’s a problem seeing as how most new computers come with 2 or more cores.
Isn’t encrypting and decrypting almost 100% math? So you could get an almost 50% boost in encryption/decryption time by just adding support for 2 cores. But I’m sure that this would require a total rewrite of the algorithms, so nothing is going to happen anytime soon. -
One would assume that this is down to the developers of each Compression Method. PowerArchiver is an application that reads the codes behind each Compression type.
I dont think PowerArchiver can just change Zip, RAR 7zip etc to optimize on Dual Core Systems.
-
Well isn’t Zip an open format?
-
it is only 7z and encryption that would be significantly speed up with dual cores, and 7z already supports it…
and only for compression of course.
-
Why only for compression?
-
Why only for compression?
you can not decompress via two threads, or at least i dont think you could do it properly… as much as i know, nobody does it for decompression…
Plus for decompression, as well as for zip compression, hard drive is bigger factor than cpu.
