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.

Another date issue
-
I recently noticed another issue with the dates of files within an archive.
If I add a file to an existing archive , PA changes the date of all files within the archive to the current date (the time when the file was added). It does this even though I do NOT create solid archives.
This, like the other date issue, is a serious matter that I hope PA remedies soon.
-
what format, 7zip?
-
Sorry.
Zipx.
-
Perhaps I would have the same problem with 7zip. I don’t know. After we discovered the other date issue, I converted everything from 7Zip to zipx.
-
where do you see this change of dates, in PA interface?
-
In the interface and if I subsequently extract them.
Once I add one file to the archive, the dates of the others change to the current date and time.
-
hm, i cant reproduce this… what OS are you using? can you try creating one new archive with single file and then adding another file… what happens then?
-
My boo-boo. I realized, I misdescribed the case.
I saw the problem not when I added a new file, but when I changed a file currently within the archive. When I saved the updated file . . . THAT’s when the dates of the other files changed.
I will be gone for a week. So I will check upon my return.
Sorry for my inaccurate description.
-
i tried it with txt file inside zipx, and it changed only the date modified of that file… maybe it is a bit more specific?
-
I will try.
It changed the dates of the files within the archive. Hence, although those files might have been added months – and their dates reflected when they were changed before being added, after updating another file with the archive, all the dates are the same.
This is a problem if I use PA as a mechanism to move files between computer (which I do). The date of files within the archive is NOT the real date THAT INDIVIDUAL FILE was modified.
Hence, it could overwrite a more recent file on the other computer.
-
i understand what you are saying, i just cant reproduce it - thats why i am thinking it could be a bit more specific issue and not just any zipx archive and any file inside on any OS.
-
Sorry I won’t be able to show you screen by screen. Because of the date problems I had to go back to WinZip. For me this is a serious issue.
Now to create those screens I would have to change files associations etc. and I don’t have time since I am headed to the airport.
I will just wait a couple of months and see if the same problem has been fixed. If so, I will try PA again.

We dont need any screens, just small example archive and procedure you used to get the issue.
Without it, it will be impossible to fix the problem, ever. Being able to reproduce the issue is most crucial part of fixing it.
Maybe you will find time when you come back from your trip or someone else might try to reproduce it and get the issue as well. But I have tried several ways of updating and extracting files from main Powerarchiver interface on Windows 7 and it works fine every time.
Anyone else?

On Win XP SP3 which I believe is same as DKJones;
I tried by creating a zipx (six txt and pdf files), then opening in PA and editing one of the txt files (using double click/external editor), then saving changes into archive.Only modified file’s date info was changed for me as well.

it might be something related to what type of file is being updated or to how it is being updated…
-
Agreed, I was just confirming that it did not appear to be OS specific (as you reported checking on Win 7).

i know… i was thinking out-loud…
-
seems to me that the file is triggering the update to change all dates in the archive. Take a look at how you add files to an existing archive before and after modifying them

Do you mean that you can reproduce the problem?
If so, how??
