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.

Progress bars
-
I use the context menus for extracting files from archives.
In the last few (minor) updates, the numerical progress of the lower bar progresses as it should, but when the text says 100% of the archive has been extracted, the bar is NOT all the way to the right. The smaller the archive the further to the left it is when the figure reaches 100%; this can be 1/4 (25%) of the way across!
I have not seen it ever go all the way to the right for 100%.
Running Win7 32-bit.

faster than a speeding bullet is PA now…:)
but yeah I noticed that also. -
slower progress than PA you mean? How long does the extraction take in this case?

Assume you’re asking me (DrT)?
Speed is not affected, it is just a recent and annoying graphical issue - just cosmetic.

i mean how much does the extraction last in total in these cases? We dont update progress bar when there are small files because updating it means it slows down… seems connected to that.

It’s fast. But the bar never reaches 100% and it used to. Something has changed recently…noticed by moles42 as well.

I’ve noticed this on 175 MB archives. You mentioned this before where the bar does not appear at all for small files. To me, aesthetically speaking, that is better than it never reaching 100% - only talking about the lower bar (of the two).

its not never, but it skips updating progress for the files that are too small (literally progress takes more time than file extraction), regardless of the other files in the archive.
But this might not be connected to that - what exact format are you using?
-
Hi,
The issue does not seem to be related to format, but I’m extracting ZIPs and RARs.
Sorry, but in spite of looking hard, I have (lately) not seen the lower progress bar get to full scale (100%). The numerical display does.
How much of a slow down does the bar cause on a modern computer? Is it necessary not to update the bar? Can it be made user configurable?
Best regards
DrT

i dont think it the issue we are talking about… i see progress bar just fine. How are you extracting the archives?
-
btw, it is upper progress that does not get intialized, lower should work fine (full progress)… it is actually quite an timesaver ;-)
-

The issue is with the lower bar…the upper one is so quick anyway. Win 7 32-bit.
I’ll try to explain better. When the completed % shows 100%, the lower bar is never to the right fully. The smaller the archive the further to the left it is @ 100%. I have seen 100% when the lower bar is only 1/3 the way across. The mostI have seen is about 80% of the way across.
When I initially saw this, I had to check that the archive had been extracted completely and without mistakes!
I am extracting the files by right-clicking and then clicking extracting to <folder name=“”>.
Regards
DrT</folder>
-
and i cant get it to show 75% ;-)… it always goes to 100%. It probably has to do with file contents of the archive or something more specific about the archive. Try to see what exactly causes it!
-
It happens with every archive I try. Either a single archive or a multi-part archive. As it happens all the time I will not be able to track it down. I could try it on another PC or another OS if you think it would help.
It never reaches 100%. A multi-part archive of a 700MB file takes it to about 95%+ and with a single archive of 7MB it only gets a third of the way. The text which shows % completed is accurate.

hm, does it show less progress on smaller archives? I think this might be due to the animation of progress bar being slower than actual progress. You will not be able to see progress going from 0 to 100 when it happens in 3 seconds for instance. Same goes for any of big jumps, if progress actually jumps from 95 to 100 in 1 seconds, it will be gone before actual animation manages to make the jump. At least thats what i am seeing here, it might not be the same thing you got?
Seems to be related to animated progress bar in aero… if you set windows classic theme, it will go all the way up properly, probably because it is not animated…
-
maybe these examples will help demonstrate…
test one is a small compressed file and displays the point drteeth is talking about I think.
the second example is a larger compressed file but it works fine…so it would seem it only occurs on small zip files.

http://www.zshare.net/download/695440365382fff7/yes, it is due to Windows progress bar animation being too slow for very fast progress… trying using windows classic theme and it works “better” but sure does look ugly eh :-).
We use standard windows progress bar API… and we send it percentages you see written above the progress bar.

if thats the biggest problem win7 has, they are on the roll :-)

Apparently, the animated hourglass in the released version is missing a frame (shock, horror) and hacks exist to transfer the full animation from the released RC versions.
Seriously, OT - I think I have discovered a bug where Win7 misreads NIC MAC addresses.
With best wishes…
