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 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.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!
PowerArchiver not keeping folders?

I’m trying to archive a TAR GZIPed and having some problems I’m trying to archive a folder that has 4 sub folders within it. However, after the archive is complete I see it has taken all of the files within each folder and just dumped them out in the archive. How do I fix this? I have the problem with the current version and also had the problem with powerarchiver 2001.
-
Are you sure that the option “store full pathname” or relative pathname is selected.
-
Yes, I have that option selected
-
How are you doing this
- via shell
- within PA GUI (modern / classic)
and which method i.e. are you using the profile or “compress with options” or …
Also - approx size of path(s) and of (uncompressed) files?
P.P.S. Do the subfolders have files or are they empty?
Note: it works for me using shell / compress with options
and “store full path” checked. -
Well I’m not a pro with this program….not sure what your talking about when you mention shell and PA GUI.
-No the folders are not empty
-each folder has around 35-60MB of files within the folder
-the total size of the whole thing is about 150MBHow I’m currently trying:
I start powerarchiver, go to file, new, type in the name i wish (ootpreport), and TAR GZIPed file option. I select store full paths and then the folder I wish to archive. -
Well I’m not a pro with this program….not sure what your talking about when you mention shell and PA GUI.
“shell extensions” is using the right click menu from Windows Explorer.
@ELDoro:How I’m currently trying:
I start powerarchiver, go to file, new, type in the name i wish (ootpreport), and TAR GZIPed file option. I select store full paths and then the folder I wish to archive.OK, you are using PA GUI (ie within PowerArchiver itself).
@ELDoro:-No the folders are not empty
-each folder has around 35-60MB of files within the folder
-the total size of the whole thing is about 150MBSo, nothing there. Only other thing I can think of are the folder names using “western characters” or do they have Unicode characters (accents etc)?
What is the exact version number of PA you are using (see Help / About)? Whether unregistered or registered (as Standard or Professional) is not relevant for this problem.
What version of Windows - e.g. XP, Vista (32 or 64 bit)?
Just to double check - you are aware that the path is displayed as a seperate field when viewed within PA (normally the last field in the display) - check that you have not suppressed view of path [under Options / View / File Listing / Columns].
-
-No the folder names are not using accents. Although 2 of 8 folders do contain “_” in the file name….but the 6 without it arnt working as well so not sure that is the problem.
-my version: 11.00.72 (trial version so far)
-Windows Home XP 32
-For this part - “check that you have not suppressed view of path [under Options / View / File Listing / Columns].” I’m not finding this within PA……
-
Ok, i may be on to a solution. Its letting me add the folder that contains the separate folders I was having trouble with before. However, because how my website is setup I need these folders to not be inside one larger folder.
-One way I thought I might be able to fool PA was to create the archive with the main folder, then deleted the folder and tried selecting all of the sub folders I’m trying to archive and dragging them into PA. It seems to start adding them to the archive but then always freezes at 4 seconds…tried 4 times all with the same freeze result at 4 seconds.
any ideas?
-
You can’t do that only save full folder structure or no folder info (there is no relative path option with TAR).
Could you “move” the folders to the root e.g.
C:\folder1
C:\folder2and then archive them (with full path)?

Sorry, I don’t understand the process you are describing.
When you delete a folder you delete all contents (same as in windows). so there is nothing to drag. The 4 secs may be the delay in completing the delete action.my version: 11.00.72 (trial version so far)[\QUOTE]
The version available now is updated (I think it is 11.00.78 now). Note the trial period continues, it will not reset.Regarding the settings - I meant
Options / Configuration / View (etc)Sorry if it confused you.
