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.

With PowerArchiver context menu enabled, it is crashing Windows 10 File Explorer when right-clicking on the Default User junction in C:\Users.

Name paf is allready an archive name
-
Your new name for a new archive format is allready in use .paf extension
A Packed Animation File made my microsoft
-
it is hard to find 3 letter extension that has not been used already, most important thing is that it has not been used by something very popular
-
if you guys have any other suggestions? Maybe .pa?
-
everything is still in the air :)
-
Maybe, .pax? like most new format file (eg. .docx, xlsx, zipx, etc.)
-
What about PCZ (PowerArchiver/Conexware/Zipper)?
-
i kind of like .pa… it is easy to say too and obviously thats what we call PowerArchiver too :)
-
Why limit one’s self to 3 letters for an extension? How anout .papa or .para?
DrT
-
.powerarchiver? Looks strange though
-
-
How about zsc (zipped super compressed)?
-
Is there a reason why we are limited to three letters?
I mean .powerarchiver is a bit long, but how about 4 letters?
The idea in selecting this is to make the extension pronounceable and viable as a verb in a sentence.
You can .zip a file. You can .rar a a file. See what I mean?
How about:
.PARC (Powerarchiver ARChive)
Mame
-
If the compression is going to be better, then why not a “size” indication - something like .nano or .pico …
Or would that be exaggeration? -
How about pafx instead of paf like zipx, docx and so one. Even if paf is not used by something very popular i understand that it could be annoying with the same extention for those that actually use an application that use the “Packed Animation File” format.
-gan
-
Got it!
.pazip, .parar etc
Job done! -
i like .pa or .powerarchiver.
Problem with .powerarchiver (which is the coolest) is that it might take too much space in file lists…
or?
I really like it :)
-
.pa is used as well by Print Artist by Nova Development, but i don’t know if anyone actually use that program so might not be a problem.
I think .powerarchiver is too long. I always choose to show the extension in Windows. For those that use the default setting and hide extensions for known file formats they won’t see it anyway.
If the options are .pa or .powerarchiver i would prefer .pa even if already used.
-gan
-
How about EPA?
Elite PowerArchiver
-
.paa PowerArchiver Archive?
-
.pow!
want he best archive format? POW IT!
:D
-
Pow!!!
-
best one is .spa
super powerarchiver or special powerarchiver or spwolf powerarchiver
-
I would go with either .pa or .parc.
-
.torrent
.powerarchiver -
if you want to use just three letters then
.pow
meaning power
or
.pff
meaning powerarchiver file format
or
.fpa
meaning format powerachiver
-
.torrent
.power
.powerarchiver
.pa?
-
idea is to use
.paff or .pafa
powerarchiver file formart or powearchiver file archive
-
If i had to pick between those I would go with .PA
.Powerarchiver is just too long imo
Mame
-
I vote for the .pax suggestion made by Wandus.
-
sorry but .pax is in use
PaX is a patch for the Linux kernel
-
why not .spf
meaning spwolf powearxchiver format
-
sorry but .pax is in use
As is nearly everything else that has been suggested. So I don’t see that as a problem myself.
-
.torrent
.power
.pa:-)

Right - many extensions are used by multiple bits of software.
- .doc - used by Word and WordPerfect
- .bin, .img - used for many different things
- .pdb - used for MSVC’s debugging symbols and Palm software packages
- .dwt - used for AutoCAD and DreamWeaver templates
The key is: will the conflict cause a lot of headaches? I think the only time the registered program for an extension is an issue is so the Explorer can figure out what program will be started when the file is double clicked.
I have a feeling that there won’t be too many PA users who are doing a whole lot with Linux kernel patch files.
-
maybe .guido ??
-
I will vote for guido :)

I actually agree, but it won’t hurt trying to avoid such a conflict. It’s not that important what the extension will be even if it would be nice if not too long. It’s more important to avoid headaches like you said, but if finding an extension that’s never been used that’s even better of course.
Unless the new format have much better compression ratio than 7z without being a lot slower i cannot really see the benefit of just another format. 7z is pretty common, the compression is great and extraction supported by most applications. So really no reason to use a new format unless it’s much better i think. For me it would also be important that other apps can extract these archives as well and not only PA.
I actually wonder….do we really need a new format? Should ConeXware spend their time on other tasks like fixing bugs faster, adding requested features and enhance the current features instead? Just a thought…

if you have bugs, wishes, etc, there are forums for that and post away!
powerarchiver is compression utility… do you need compression format that can compress 30% better than anything else on the market, be truly multicore optimized and be first major format to finally use the power of multicore processors?
i think we do :-)
-

I already did, but still waiting:) But that’s actually beside my point here.

i think we do :-)I agree and that’s what i said as well. It has to be pretty much better (compression, speed and so on) and hopefully in time supported by most other compression software. If not 7z, rar, tar-gzip and zip will work just fine.
If you promise 30% better compression ratio and still fast during compression/extraction then i look forward to the new format:)

keep in mind that we have separate engineers working on GUI and current formats, vs completely new format :-). So nothing in main PA, be it our zip support, gui, bug fixes, new ideas, are suffering because of new format.
thing with current formats is that most popular one was done 14 years ago…
… and none were done after multicore processors became popular… so without getting into technicalities, i think it is enough to say that there is no popular format out there that users multicore processors for extraction… not zip, zipx, rar, ace, 7zip, stuffit, tar, etc…
And it is impossible to do it without building format with that in mind, so those formats will never be able to do that.
-
what we want is a format that can be used by as many operating systems as possible one that wont fade into the background but will keep developing.
I would like to see one with data recovery and great compression rate. I really wnat a format that can handle several formats like txt, wave, doc etc formats and decide what routine is bestto use on each format. That will slow it down a bit. I want one that has powerfull password protection. Basically i want all features of every existing archive format put into one. so we have one format sounds strange but i want a bit of everything in one format.
-
one benefit of having special format for jpeg, mp3, etc, is that you can make them faster than if you compressed it with WinRar but at the same time, instead of getting 0.1% compression, you get 15%-30%…
thats pretty great thing with special codecs.
-
of course, if you have smart engineers that can do that :-)
-
how about pff meaning powersarchiver file format
pff thats what i vote for
