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.

Does the PowerArchiver 2011 ToolBox Edition RC version include the standalone applications for Burner, FTP and Backup? How many RC will there be before the final version and how long is each RC?
-
This post is deleted! -
I would say Its hard to tell the time between RC’s the Alpha versions have been going for months.
But aslong as people download and test this application, the more feedback we can obtain and the possibility of faster updates can be made towards the Final.

I could not think of a more pointless bundle than with an anti-virus app. I choose my security apps very carefully as I do my compression utils, and it is not unknown for me to change my security app each year.
Much as I wish to support ConeXware, I shall not be upgrading :-(((.

You don’t have to make use of the free BD, it’s not bundled with PA it’s a separate download if you want it.
I don’t have any need for it myself and that’s why I won’t be taking advantage of the download. But I still upgraded to the toolbox version.
-
Why? I may have missed something. Is the toolbox version just pro + AV?
I do not mind paying for some extra functionality that I may use, but not for something I will never use.
I’ll wait for Spywolf’s email to see if it clarifies things a bit.

there is absolutely no need to upgrade if you do not want to :-)… we shuffled things around a bit for 2011 based on feedback from customers.
of course, there WILL be surprise for Toolbox peoples in the future :-).

Because of this… :)
@spwolf:and upcoming apps like our next standalone backup utility which will feature our PAF format. And you will be supporting PA development of course.

I would advise anyone to take advantage of the discount for Toolbox and keep the serial for Bit Defender.
Or sell the BitDefender to a friend and get back what you paid for toolbox. :)
Looking forward to PAF and many new exiting features toolbox will support.

there is nothing immediately available :-). We didnt want to force anyone who has Pro to buy Toolbox by limiting free upgrade options.

C’mon mate, tempt me with the upgrade deals for exisiting customers. I know I don’t HAVE to upgrade, but if the price is right…

Marketing-wise, you may have stumbled. The market is full of free and paid for backup utils. I have two here (paid) myself and I suspect that anybody who wants/needs one will already be sorted out in that regard. Same goes for security suites.
So far, the only advantage (not knowing what is down the line) is the warm glow of supporting PA development…which is a good reason in itself. I have been known to donate to freeware authors, that is when they usually give up :cool:.
Looking forward to the email or PM ;).

market is full of everything, if we went by that, then you would never see another new product :-).
we will try to make best backup utility on the market, since we will build new format for it, and not just use off the shelf libraries that everyone does and are not really meant for the backup.
If we can build new backup that is 30% more efficient (faster, less space taken, less bandwidth taken), I am sure it will be quite nice :-).
-
Spwolf, Make sure that specifically designed backup tool is for Toolbox users ;)
Pro could have something less comprehensive. But usefull non the less.
Looking forward to the 2012 edition of PA
-
For your backup util, PLEASE let it restore to existing partitions and not create its own. Why?
I use a partitioning utility that allows for >200 primary partitions per disk. If one uses it outside the standard 4 partitions per disk (4 primaries or 3+extended) no other util/OS etc must be allowed to create partitions.
As regards the marketing comment, there is no point re-inventing the wheel, one must create a better one.
Upgrade prices pretty please.

i believe it will not be full disc image backup utility (at least not to start) but smart differential continuous backup utility that saves only byte level changes and not full files… we can have big improvements there compared to what exists on the market right now (with our own compression format/engine and byte level differentials like in Patchbeam).
