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.

Unzip operation hangs
-
I am running the latest rc of PA and just discovered a problem.
I have a large, split zip that seems to hang at the 47% point during the unzip operation.
The zip consists of three files, two files 4.7GB in size (the DVD size listed in the gui) and the third file is 418MB in size.
Let me know what other info you require.
-
Hey dragon,
we’ve tried and cannot recreate the issue given the sizes you provided, let us know what kind of files are in the archive and which options were used when creating the file. -
The files in the archive are VMware image files. The archive was created by selecting the original directory and choosing the split option using the ‘DVD’ size for the split size. Here is a listing from the zip via PA’s print to txt file option:

deflate method with maximum compression?
anything else checkmarked other than “include system and hidden files”?
and, mode selected for spanning? (you can see it in the drop down menu below the span size options.
-
Method is Bzip2, compression is normal. The file was split using Winzip (I don’t see a split/span mode type option in Winzip).
-
what version of PA are you using exactly?
-
11.60.20
-
and do you know what version of WinZip? And what settings did you use? So we can try to re-create the archive.
thanks
-
The flow is rather strange. The archive was originally created with 7zip using Method=Bzip2, compression=normal. The archive was one large file.
After the archive was created it was transferred across a wan where it was decided it should be split. The user only had Winzip 11.2 (build 8094) and split the file into DVD sized files.
I can unzip the split archive on my local machine using 7zip, Winzip, and Winrar. The only problem is with the latest build of PA.
-
hm, i have to find some older WZ because latest versions report an error when splitting large zip created with 7zip.

Is the new 11.60 build release today supposed to address this? If so, it still hangs. If not, never mind :).
-
nope, could not reproduce.
are these vmware image files downloadable somewhere? i have tried creating similar example, but everything worked fine. It might be something that was special to files compressed.
-
No, the image files are not distributable. I will see if I can come up with a reproducible scenario and set of accompanying steps.

that would definetly help us solve the issue…. i created several similar files (filename and filesize), compressed it to bzip, normal in 7z and then spanned it in WZ and works fine here. It probably is more specific that simple spanning on bzip does not work.
