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 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.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

Ho già contattato il supporto con il modulo presente qui https://www.powerarchiver.com/it/contact/ da settimane ma non ho ricevuto riscontro e ora che ho aggiornato alla versione 21.00.15 ho notato che il problema persiste.

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!
Paop

I tried using PAOP this morning; I changed a setting: I indicated that I wanted it to add the help file.
I did a test run twice. No help file.
I tried it sending the message plain and rich text. Didn’t help.
Now perhaps mail has to be html for the feature to work.
If so, think you might add a text option as well?
I was also hoping to be able to edit the text (html or text).
-
which version of paop are you using?
-
2.03
-
I tried to edit the last reply to add another “.03”
Wouldn’t take. Or else I don’t know how to edit them.
-
just tried it, checked off to send help file
attached a sample file to my email and sent it, received the help file with.Give it a try with this beta version of PAOP http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha115/paop210b.exe
-
Just tried it.
Still no luck.
Not even if I set the message to html
Is there a chance that the file it wants to insert is missing?
If so, could you resend it, and tell me in which folder I should place it.
For the record. I use EZDetach, which automatically detaches attachments, saves them to my hard drive, and then creates a link to them within the email (keeps the PST file smaller).
I suppose that might be the culprit, but I don’t see how. It only messes with attachments and I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the help file was actually inserted at the end of the message.
Moreover, I have never before had a problem receiving an email, not even one with ten attachments.
Still, since it might be implicated, I thought I should mention it.
-
If you disable EZDetach, does it work ok then?
-
First, I really don’t see any reason to think it is that since I often get multiple attachments.
Second, I cannot just turn it off. And I would lose far too many settings to uninstall it.
Sorry.
-
It attaches the html help file to the message… maybe EZDetach does influence it. We will try on our end to see how it works with EZDetach.
Only other option (in the future) would be to add text to the message body, but that could be messier and we cant explain as well…
-
I am fairly sure it is not ezdetach. It only works on incoming files.
I am guessing the help file may be missing.
Could you either send it to me, of just give me the name of the file called by that option, then I can create my own.
-
Help file can not be missing, it is built inside the program.
Maybe it is some combination of settings?
What version of Windows and Office are you using?
thanks
-
Windows 7 enterprise
Office 2007 -
PAOP settings are located here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PAOutlookCan you go to regedit.exe, to that key, export it, zip it and email it to support? Then Mili will try if it works with same settings on our own test computers.
Does the actual compression work? ( PAOP actually compressing attachments?)
-
I just saw the second half of your request.
It compressed the files just fine. Well, that’s now quite right. It compresses PDF files just fine; balks a bit at docx files.
-
There is an filter setting which by default doesnt compress docx (as docx are zip files so they cant be compressed futher).
-
(it is exclude extensions button in PAOP)
-
Received the reg file, thanks for that.
tested with sent reg settings and received the help file just fine using Paop.
Have you installed and tried using the beta version provided earlier?
the help file is simply attached to the email, when acitavated, when PAOP is used.
If you think it could possible make a difference, try disabling EZDetach and see if it works then, just for testing purposes. -
I am using the latest PAOP beta you send (perhaps 2.1?).
As I explained, there is no way to disable EZDetach and I cannot afford to uninstall it and lose all the scripts I have written for it.
But (I now realize) I really shouldn’t have mentioned this. It’s a red herring. It only affects incoming files, and I later saw that the attachment wasn’t there in the outgoing file.
I will just do without.
Sorry for the hassle.

sorry hugh, i guess it is always easier to blame something else :-)
-
One thing we like is for users to mention things, even if it becomes a dead link! because it might just spark a future feature or solution, not to mention something who may experience similar issues can read this and get the answer they may need.
-
I ended up uninstalling PAOP.
I discovered something that may be worrisome.
I use Office 2007. When PAOP was installed, Outlook would lock up (“Not responding”) 2-3 times a day. It never occurred to me that PAOP was the culprit.
However, it has not happened once since I deleted PAOP.
I may just be lucky. Or perhaps PAOP does have some untoward side effects on Outlook 2007.
Sorry.
-
it could be combination of plugins… PAOP has been used for years now, never got that complaint.
what other plugins do you use (other than ezdetach)? We will try to install them on our Win7 with Office 2007 and see what happens.
