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.

PA2009 B1 & B2: No Shell Extensions
-
I used PA2007 until yesterday. Till that that day I had Shell Extensions for PA. After installing 2009 B1 there were no Shell Extensions. I changed the Shell Extension Options in the PA Config, but still there are no Shell Extensions.
Today I installed PA2009 B2 and still there are no Shell Extensions… After right clicking on a file there are no options to use PA2009. :(
What can I do? Is this a bug? Only my bug?
I’m using Windows Vista Home Premium x64.
-
there are some problems with the 64 bit version of vista, i would recommend you go to 32 bit version of vista if you can.
failing that wait for an update.
microsoft were stupid in the fact that 32 shell extensions are not fully compatible with 64 bit shell extensions thats why at the moment shell extensions does not work well on 64 bit version of vista.
all i can say is thanks for reporting it but it will take time in the mean time hope everything else works ok
-
I have the same problem. I use the shell extensions very often and it would be very uncomfortable, when the final version would not fully support Viste x64.
Perhaps than I have to switch to another program. -
did you guys reboot your computer after installation?
PA 2007 support 64bit shell extension, PA 2009 should be the same, unless some bug sneaked in.

I don’t have problems with other programs. So why I should go back to x86?? :confused:
microsoft were stupid in the fact that 32 shell extensions are not fully compatible with 64 bit shell extensions thats why at the moment shell extensions does not work well on 64 bit version of vista.
But why shell extensions work with PA2007? I used PA2007 untill yesterday and also on x64…
all i can say is thanks for reporting it but it will take time in the mean time hope everything else works ok
No problem. If I find another bug, I will report too. ;)
did you guys reboot your computer after installation?
Yes, I did. But it didn’t work. Further I cleaned up my registry with TuneUp Utilities after deinstalling PA2009. I also removed all things from PA in my registry manually. Tried to install again and hoped for a change, but no change…
PA 2007 support 64bit shell extension, PA 2009 should be the same, unless some bug sneaked in.
I hope, that you can find this bug. :)
-
can some other people check if it works for them? We had some x64 alpha testers… thanks
-
Yes, it works for me (on Vista x64 Ultimate)
-
But why it doesn’t work for me? :(
I only removed PA2007 and installed PA2009. What could be the problem?
-
I have also the problem with PA2009 Beta 2 an Vista Ultimate 64-Bit!
No Shell Extensions!!:mad:
-
we will figure it out and let you know.

I am also running am running Beta 2 of 2009 Pro on Vista x64 Home Premium. Good news, I have shell extensions. The bad news is they just don’t work. If I have file on the desktop and use ‘Extract Here’ a PA window will appear quickly but not do anything and disappear. If I extract to the folder as the same name of the archive, it does the same thing, but creates a folder which is empty. Everything was working fine in 2007.
Ok, I just discovered something. If I right click it in place with no drag. It works fine. If I drag it a little, it does the stuff I described above. I even tried moving the file off the desktop and no luck.

so it doesnt work with drag and dropping the archive and using right click? But it works if you just right click?
-
That’s correct!
-
But you have the shell extensions and it works for you, if you just rightclick the archive. I don’t have the shell extensions… :(

I’m using Windows Vista Home Premium x64.
just to confirm - are you using english or german?
-
German PA2009 on German Vista x64
-
so to clarify - it doesnt work in german PA, works in English (with some issues)…. quick fix is to uninstall german and install english.
Both issues will be fixed in Beta 3 (english and german).
thanks
-
I have a similar problem with PA2009 B1 or B2:
when i drag an archive to another folder by using the right mouse button, both options “extract here” and “extract to subfolder” just create an empty folder without any files inside.
I’m using “german vista x64 sp1” with latest “english PA2009”. -
^^That’s the same problem Cipher has posted already some answers ago… ;)
@spwolf
I’ll wait for the Beta 3. :) -
^^That’s the same problem Cipher has posted already some answers ago… ;)
i know, thats exactly what i mean.
i just wanted to give spywolf my details, because i thought it would be a german vista x64 problem. -
Hello,
I’m having same problem too. Though “Shell extensions” are enabled on PA 2008 B2, they don’t show.
I am using:
Vista Ultimate 64Bit (German)
PA 2009 B2 (German)I will quickly remove the german version and install the english version and see if it works.
-
Hello again,
it seems indeed to be a bug in the german version of PA 2009 B2.
I just installed the english version over the german one and shell extensions are there and everything works fine.
Then I reinstalled the german version over the english one, and amasing, shell extensions still there but in english, though the program is now in german :-) -
Thank you for testing! Are there any umlauts or special chars in the German version of the shell extension menu?
-

Not that I noticed; the shell extensions are completely in english, but if you reinstall the german version over the english version, you get the german interface of the program with english shell extensions.
As spwolf wrote, a “work around” if you can’t wait for B3 :-)
-
please try with beta 3 and let us know.
thanks…

It seems to be working correctly now.
