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. -
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).

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.

While I’m not a “Power User” because I don’t post on these forums much I have been a PowerArchiver user for years and am very tech savvy. PowerArchiver is also one of the programs I use every single day multiple times a day….so if you can overlook my forum title I’d make a great tester for you.
I’ve beta-tested many versions of Windows (Win 98, 98 SE, Win2K, etc.) as well as more fun beta testing testing opportunities like Diablo II & Total Annihilation - my name is even in the TA manual.
Tech specs if you’ve read this far:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel i7 930
Radeon 5850
6 GB DDR3I run my system hard, too…40 tabs open in Firefox & a full taskbar of 15-20 programs running at all times is the norm for me so if you need ‘stress testing’ I may be your guy.
And oh yeah…I’ve got a fervent desire for PowerArchiver to become even better than it already is. My friends are already tired of me telling them how superior it is to what they are using & tired of me proving it to them. ;D

it pays off to write an short essay… look at the bottom of the forums ;-)

Hi, If possible please could you add me to the alpha testers.
I generally test a lot of betas, enjoy using such products and informing the devs of any issues I find.
I have Windows 7 *64 on my main PC, testing PC, and Windows 7 *86 on my testing laptop and also use Sun VM.
Many Thanks.
-
meh….I don’t like to create huge essays…all they do is reassure my extreme awesomeness and make others jealous :cool:
Long story short, I was a betatester for Battlefield 2142 and Universe at War. I’m extremely nick-picky, and will make comments about anything no matter how small the problem is. I’m a GUI freak, also.
Did I mention I’m also a Professional license owner?
-
-
Who isn’t? ;)
Pro license owners will love 2011 ;-).
Not that standard license owners wont, just that price for the Pro will seem like quite an steal ;-)

scince winzip stopped supporting windows 2000 only powerarchiver and winrar support it. i’m proud that powearchiver supports it. My computer is 12 years old tomorrow and still able to run powearchiver that is the testement to the developers who look after their customers.

Hi,
Just wondered if any possibility of being added to Alpha Testers.Many Thanks.

and quick question are you going to release the new format as a format like zip as freeware or only the unpaf feature.
People would like to know as the more camatible the format ids the better chance people will use it
-

I’m unsure personally, but in my mind i think the ability to Read PAF format will be made available to all PA Versions. But possibly writing PAF would be a pro/toolbox advantage only.
Again, this is for PA to confirm.
-
i was talking baout it for other archivers otherwise making a new format only for pa use would make it rather limited.
are they going down the rar route
-
I Think thats the plan! Obviosly, thats where the money is! developing their own version and enabling users to implement it via other software.
But, the only ones who know are the owners and they are rather hush hush about things :D im sure all will be come clear :)
-
at very least, rar/ace route for sure….

Still looking for testers?
Ah of course you are. You want me even after almost a year since the last post.

Hi Chaoskiller,
The alpha team’s a pritty tight team to get into. But, one way to show your interested is to start using the forums.
Give the Developers & Alpha team a feel for your idea’s on ways to improve powerarchiver and it’s plugins.
Not to mention identify Bugs and remember to make it step by step with potential pictures to help the team try and replicate that sinario.
Its also advised you list your primary PC spec’s, you will notice the alpha team do this and other Beta public testers.
If you show your desire to help conexware make their software better! then come the next alpha vote im sure you will be considered.

Good points made there.
Let’s start with my computer’s specs:
Itel Core i7-2630QM (2 GHz Quad Core)
8GB RAM
NVidia GT 555M at 1920x1080
Windows 7 Professional with Windows 8 Release Preview dual-boot -
Great!,
Now it’s the norm to keep your “primary” system specs on the forum as a signature.
Obviosly, if you are like me you may have 1 work system and one home. Just use the PC that you use the most and have admin rights too.
Because you may be asked by the dev team or you yourself may want to change settings to see if it resolves an issue at some point.
Other than that, write your posts clearly. if you have any ideas that you have about powerarchiver tools, features or even new requests please post them.
If you feel it’s for the dev team only which can happen, just email them via the support page.
Your a programmer, so you are more than aware that at Alpha “prealpha” you are accessing potential unreliable software and even more importantly a glimse into the future of the program.
So it takes time for the dev team to trust a person to reach alpha level as you can fully understand.
We obviosly dont want the competitors to get wind of any new features in the testing motion before it’s offical.
;) If you are a PA fan, you will remember the time we brought out the 1st ever archive tool with ribbon interface.
Winzip soon followed… and in our opinion they still cant get it rite :D
Ow, and speak your mind! if you feel pasionate about something dont give up but explain why. I still remember arguing the toss over why PA should have FTP! and adjustments to the way it looks or works in certain aspects and many of them are still in thought and some are in the program and to me thats the rewarding aspect.
hope this all make sense and welcome!
PS: Remember, there is 2012 Beta 2 out now so start testing buddy!

I am using Powerarchiver 2012 at the moment, it’s stable, but has a few issues which need addressing but other than that it is a vast improvement.
I am installing VMware tomorrow and will be running Windows 8 and will be trying this on Windows 8 to see if it works as well.
-
Hi Jonessie,
We hope that you have reported any issues you find need addressing. You can report it here on the forum, in the Tech Support section or email support which you can find in the support section on the main page.Tx!!!

I would like to become a alpha tester, in our company we use PA 2013, and always before we put new version via group policy, we are testing if everything works as it should.
We use Win 7 Enterprise, Win 8, and Win 8.1 on the different hardware

keep in mind these are not for production environments - well at least not to install on co-workers computer… Alpha’s are really alpha’s, not beta’s that we release to general public. However, they will not burn the house down :P
