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.

Strange error - opening zip files causing Read Only message
-
I’ve been getting sporadic but persistent messages about my zip archives being read only and getting this message -
“The zip files are read only. Would you like to unlock files for use?”
This is happening very recently and I don’t know what’s causing this problem.
I’m using PowerArchiver 2010 .61 version. Can you guys please fix this or if not…send me a private build that fixes this?
I first noted this issue a few days ago whenever downloading zip files from the XYplorer Beta forum for updating my file manager.
Thanks.
-
Not seen this myself - so obvious questions …
Are you sure:-
a) the Zip file is not marked as Read Only?
b) the folder containing the Zip is not Read Only?Also which Windows version do you have ?
Your exact PA version? (11.61.07 is “latest”).… downloading zip files from the XYplorer Beta forum…
Tried to check but appears to be members only access.

If 11.61.07 is the “latest”…how come I don’t have this?! I only have 11.61.06! Please send me the link. When I do an upgrade check…I keep getting that 61.06 is the “latest”. So getting the new beta might help quite a bit thank you very much.
I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 (never getting Service Pack 3, sorry). The zip files are not marked as Read Only. I’ve never had this problem before. It started on December 30th. There’s no particular reason why this should happen…I haven’t done ANYTHING to my computer to cause this. I did a virus check…nothing.
About the XYplorer beta site…yeah - it’s for registered users. But you can download the beta for free to “test” it.
-
Okay…I seem to have received a link to the latest beta…because I don’t see this reflected on the download page. Mine now says my installed version is the 11.61.07 version. The one on the download page only says its for the 61 version? And it’s from Dec 3rd…which is the older version I believe.
In any case I’m going to test this on some zip archives once I get a new beta release for XYplorer and see if I still get the read only error message. I never got the read only error message before. I notified the admin of the XYplorer site and I was told he didn’t change anything which might account for this.

Just downloaded a new zip file and I’m still getting the read only warning. I don’t know why I’m getting this message. It’s something I’ve never seen before when opening archives. Is there a setting in Powar Archiver that can AUTOMATICALLY convert read only zip files so I don’t see this message?
PS. I had a chance to save the file using the Save Link As option since PowerArchiver is the default application to open zip file format. Once I saved the archive…I opened it up in Winzip 11.
I didn’t get the Read Only warning in Winzip. It was able to open the zip file with no warning about the files in the archive in read only. So my preliminary conclusion is you have a problem with PowerArchiver getting confused about the read/write status of files in archives.
Please fix.
-
if you use open instead of save in your web browser, file is sent to the temp folder and deleted afterwards… this is probably what the message is all about. What browser do you use?

Well, if it was a general PA problem I think we would all see it (and be able to reproduce it).
How are you opening the ZIP with PA -
using windows explorer - right click shell menu?
using windows explorer and “double clicking” the filename?
from within PA itself?Just downloaded a new zip file and I’m still getting the read only warning. I don’t know why I’m getting this message. It’s something I’ve never seen before when opening archives.
Is the problem only with these XYplorer zips?
Or is the problem with any downloaded zip files?Quick test - Do you see the problem with “Tutor.zip” (in PowerArchiver folder) or with “Example.zip” from the WinZip folder?
Is there a setting in Powar Archiver that can AUTOMATICALLY convert read only zip files so I don’t see this message?
No, such an option could be considered a security risk.
I didn’t get the Read Only warning in Winzip. It was able to open the zip file with no warning about the files in the archive in read only.
After opening with Winzip; close Winzip and then try PowerArchiver on the same file, do you still get the warning?
If so, we “know” it is not (for example) a browser/anti-virus file locking problem.P.S. Is the problem reported for the ZIP file itself or for a file within the ZIP file? In other words, when just trying to view contents or when trying to extract the contents or … ?

I reopened the same file after I closed Winzip and used a different browser - namely Opera. When it launches Power Archiver I don’t get the read only error message. So it appears to be a Firefox plug in that’s causing this. I can’t for the life of me know which one is doing this.
-

Sorry - are you using an Internet browser to load files from your hard disk or are you downloading the file again?
Either case could be the browser “locking” the file.
@Hagen:So it appears to be a Firefox plug in that’s causing this. I can’t for the life of me know which one is doing this.
I suppose you mean extension (not plugin); quick check by starting Firefox(Safety Mode) which disables all extensions - not Windows safety mode!
-
He is using Open instead of Save As when downloading files via Firefox.
What this does is saves file to the temp folder, and it is automatically deleted later on when system needs more space.
I am pretty sure this has a lot to do with it!
-
Spwolf, that was my first thought - but then he said
@Hagen:I had a chance to save the file using the Save Link As option since PowerArchiver is the default application to open zip file format. Once I saved the archive…I opened it up in Winzip 11.
I didn’t get the Read Only warning in Winzip.
And I was trying to find out if he got the message when opening that same file (from his hard drive) and not a new download.
But then
@Hagen:I reopened the same file after I closed Winzip and used a different browser
So now I am confised - unless he downloaded again and didn’t try to open the saved file as I was asking.
-
he used Save as and it worked ;-). When he uses Open, it sets read only on it ;-).
-
Is there some way to disable the read-only notice?
-
Options> Config> Misc> Disable read-only warning.
-
Thank you! I tried find it from options but clearly I wasn’t just looking hard enough.
