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.

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.

PA 2010 11.60.26 Creates invalid ZIP with large files
-
Hi,
Just updated to the latest version of PA but there is (still) a MAJOR problem with ZIP’ing large files.
When I ZIP a SQL Database BAK file of 5.581.246 KB using the following zip settings:
- Format: ZIP
- Action: Add(and replace files)
- Method: Deflate(.ZIP, Compatible)
- Compression: Normal ( or better )
PA will create a ZIP archive with a file size of 977.678 KB but when the ZIP archive is opened no files are listed. Selecting the ‘Extract to xxxx’ menu option will create an empty folder. If I use the standard Windows XP unzip functionality I get the message ’ The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted’.
If I first create a archive with a smaller file and then add a the BAK file both files are listed but the BAK file has ratio of 0 and packed of 00.

hi - how do you mean still - when did you first notice this issue? Are you creating files via Main PA or shell interface, or both?
thanks!
-
maybe try some other file 5 GB in size… does that work?
then try using 7zip compression - you can use fastest method (dont store it though), and does work?
thanks!

Hi,
I first noticed it in version 11.60.23. ( whether the bug is present in earlier versions I do not know… ).
I tested both the ‘Compress with options…’, ‘Compress to xxxx.zip’ shell menu options and ‘New archive’ from the main PA window. Same result.
When opening the Archive properties window the archive is listed with File size: 933.557.976 bytes and Files in archive: 0.
The problem also occurs on a second machine ( both running Windows XP SP3+latest patches )…

i have tried around 10 different files over 4 GB on 3 different computers, all worked fine.
It has to be a bit more specific than that.
Let me know if you can try the what i wrote above, that would help!
thanks

Hi,
The problem occured with several SQL BAK - snapshots of the same DB - files. All around 5 GB.
It works fine with 7ZIP compression.

can you please try with some other files of similar size? trying to find an pattern here…. thanks!

Hi
Just some additional info:
The disk holding the configured temporary folder has more than 100 GB free; the disk containing the ZIP archive has more than 68 GB free….
Windows XP SP3 32 bit with 4 GB mem.

do you mind sending us your reg file, maybe we can find something interesting there.
export HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver to .reg file and then zip it and then send it to support @ conexware . com.
we will then try with your settings.

some non .bak file… anything else. even zipped multiple files/folder from program files folder, into single file and then compressed again to try to reproduce it.

Tested it with a virtual image disk image file ( file size: 5.216.731.136 bytes ) creates archive with a size of (1.868.354.280 bytes….and with 0 files…
I will send you the reg part…

no need to send the reg, i think we managed to reproduce it… waiting for engineers to check it out.

are you using virtual pc or vmware or is it native XP system?

we believe this has been fixed… will have version to test tomorrow.

FYI, files created were created properly, problem was with reading files, where our relativly new autodetection routine did not recognize some files as zips (in this example exactly), even if they were.

But that doesn’t explain why the standard Windows XP UNZIP functionalitiy complains about an invalid/corrupt ZIP file( see first message )… does it ?
-
not sure that windows xp supports large zips properly, i believe it was added in Vista.
Here is the test release, please check it out and let us know:
