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.

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.

Dropping file onto archive (ZIP)
-
When I drag a file (no difference left or right drag) onto an archive, I get an error message saying the archive cannot be created as it exists - this is unecessary (can it be removed) - I get asked if I want to update the existing file - which I do. I would like an option as to whether the file is moved or added - I can only seem to do the latter. Part of this process is a message asking if I want to overwrite the existing acrchive…which is quite alarming.
I do like dragging and dropping with archives and the process with PA is not as polished as it could be.
With kind regards
DrT
-
the way it works for me is it asks you if you are sure if you want to update the file, because you might do it by accident (drag an file icon onto the archive icon)… and it asks you to overwrite only if you say no to update…
Overwrite should be alarming as old archive is being deleted.
Or is there something else happening for you?
-
Hi,
It happens for me just as I described it…with the ‘unable to create as it exists’ message. I have just checked with several different zip files all the same result. I get the overwriting message if I decline to update the existing archive. I get exactly the same behaviour on another PC. What more info can I give you? I can do screen shots if you need.
Cheers
DrT
-
yeah but how are you creating the archive? step by step please… there are many different ways…
thanks,
-
if you decline the update, you should get overwrite message, what do you expect to get? But I dont understand the first part (unable to create…).

I don’t see this either, however I’m on XP. Which OS are you using - I know you have XP and Vista but also
@drteeth:Just got the Win 7 beta installed and will be checking it out.
:p
-
well I have Win7 too :-)
-
Hi guys,
-
Using XP. Just tested it with Vista, drag and drop does not work.
-
The archive already exists. I like using drag and drop to add/move a file to an existing archive. Just drag and drop an existing file onto an existing zip file until a ‘+’ appears.
WinZip does this okay without any error messages of any type…it just works - in fact a dialogue box appears asking if I want to add or move the extra file. IIRC, there is a section in the options to configure this behaviour. Don’t use WinZip anymore so a moot point.
Let me know if you need any further info.
Cheers

so you are drag and dropping an file into an archive.zip icon? right? Thats what i need.

that works here… it might be due to specific zip maybe? maybe filename or complete path?
create 1.zip in C:\1 and try adding 1.txt from C:\1 to it, does that work?
-
Still don’t see the “unable…” message?
Just to be explicit - how are you doing this…
Where is the Zip archive -
a) In PA GUI
b) Using Windows explorer
c) Just on Windows Desktop
d) Drive/Partition/Network?And same questions for the file you are dragging.
I am guessing that the dragged file does not already exist inside archive - although doesn’t seem to matter in my checking.
P.S. Also Zip is not password protected?? -

Tested on two PCs under XP with several zips. The results of the test that you asked me to do are attached - no change. What I am trying to achieve only works if I click ‘yes’ in drop.jpg (the larger of the two shots).
Just fired up an old XP laptop, same result there too using your 1.zip test.

you are using english 11.03 right?

OK. I completely mis-understood your original message.
@drteeth:When I drag a file (no difference left or right drag) onto an archive, I get an error message saying the archive cannot be created as it exists - this is unecessary (can it be removed) - I get asked if I want to update the existing file - which I do.
I thought this was two dialogues - but you meant that the information is only in the one; and I do see this.
I don’t agree that it is unnecessary - what if you dropped on the wrong archive (or only meant to drop in a gap to do a windows move/copy and not an archive process)? This is the only way to provide an “oops - cancel” option.
I would like an option as to whether the file is moved or added - I can only seem to do the latter.
Correct - drag and drop to an archive only performs the “copy” function (as in backup).
Part of this process is a message asking if I want to overwrite the existing acrchive…which is quite alarming.
Only if you choose not to “update” the existing archive. This is logical as you are then creating an archive with the same name (and in the same folder) as the existing one - it should not be overwritten silently.
All in PA 11.03.04 (english).

@ Terry

The file is moved or copied NOT deleted. The recycle bin can also be used as a safety net. There is no need for an extra “oops - cancel” option.

It does not have to be so, cf WinZip.
Only if you choose not to “update” the existing archive. This is logical as you are then creating an archive with the same name (and in the same folder) as the existing one - it should not be overwritten silently.
Adding or moving a file to an archive has got nothing to do with overwriting the archive…the message appears even with differently archive/file names.

I wasn’t referring to the dragged file, update modifies the archive file as well, which could be the unwanted action (e.g. oops - wrong archive).
Adding or moving a file to an archive has got nothing to do with overwriting the archive…the message appears even with differently archive/file names.
No, you are adding <file>to <archive.zip>so modifying the existing archive. If you cancel this add, then the next action would be to create a new archive using the filename of the original archive (hence overwriting it).
Drag & drop is not creating <file.zip>.
Of course, you could say that this overwrite should not occur - when choosing Cancel to update, then just cancel everything.</file.zip></archive.zip></file>

I wasn’t referring to the dragged file, update modifies the archive file as well, which could be the unwanted action (e.g. oops - wrong archive).
So a file is added to the archive either way, it can be deleted.
If you cancel this add, then the next action would be to create a new archive using the filename of the original archive (hence overwriting it).
Why should there be a ‘next action’? The way you are writing it is as if you regard it as an inevitable action. If I want to create an archive, I will…but what has drag and drop got to do with it?
-

That is why I also said…

we did next action on purpose, in case you sometimes want to overwrite instead of update the file.
but i still dont get error message….

That’s strange as the situation is consistent here across 3 PCs. Unless you can suggest a way to diagnose/debug the process, I’ll have to give up on drag and drop. Now where’s that copy of WinZip?
Cheers
DrT
-
tbge - do you get error as well? (not update/overwrite)
-
Do you mean this one :p
-
yeah, thats supposed to be that way - i get different worded one since for vista we had to use different drag and drop code for it to work (one without can not create but just update notification)….
if you guys want, we could give full d&d options window when you drag and drop here (check with archive open in PA and then drag and drop file for example)? Or just change the wording to mention update only and not can not create?
-
Or just change the wording to mention update only and not can not create?
That would be my preference.
And when choosing No on update, then just quit - as it does if
@spwolf:with archive open in PA and then drag and drop file
To me using Drag&Drop (files/folders) on existing archive to create new archive with same name just “feels” wrong :p
-
well some people use that…
i think easiest is to give full d&d menu on this one an voila… ok?

Almost there. Just need to get rid of the ‘already exists’ message.
Of course I know the archive exists…that’s why I want to drop a file on it;);):).
Then the overwrite warning needs to go. Drag and drop is either add or move or cancel. All can be done from the new, first dialogue box. No files will or should be deleted so no extra warnings should be needed IMHO.
Thanks for the work so far…so glad I registered.
Cheers

i dont get same d&d menu as you so what exactly do you get now?
-

First I get a big ‘add’ box with many options for adding to an archive, moving to an archive etc.
Then, I get <filename>already exists, update existing file. yes/no buttons. If I click ‘yes’ operation proceeds, if I click ‘no’, get box asking if I want to overwrite existing file…not clicked ‘yes’ on that one. IMHO, none of these are needed as nothing should get deleted…they just add unecessary mouse clicks; agn IMHO.
Can supply screenshots if you like. Just ask.

got it
-
hm, not sure what we can do about it, it shows whenever archive is created with same filename - for instance when you use compress to filename.zip.
i will check with dev team so see if we can detect it differently through shell (these are all shell actions).
