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.

Questions about PowerArchiver Backup…
-
Hello.
I am attempting to evaluate whether or not PowerArchiver Backup would suit my backup needs, and I require some assistance. I have the following questions:
- Does an incremental backup back up in whole the files that have changed, or only the changed data in those files? In other words, if I make a 1 KB change to a 1 GB file, will the incremental backup be small or large?
- How does the incremental backup handle deleted files? I understand that PowerArchiver uses the archive flag of files to determine whether or not to back them up, but how does PowerArchiver know whether a file has been deleted and how does it store this information in the backup file?
- If for example I do a full backup and then four incremental backups, how many backup files will I end up with? One? Five?
- How do I go about restoring from the backup? Does PowerArchiver provide any special functionality for this, or do I need to manually extract the initial full backup and then each incremental backup after that?
I would appreciate it if someone could take the time to answer these. Thanks.
-
Hi Dangermouse, welcome to the forum!
Would like to ask a preliminary question, how would you like your incremental backups to appear?
All backup in one archive or each incremental backup to be in it’s separate archive with a timestamp that you can manually set?Thanks!
-
I don’t mind whether they appear to be stored in separate archives or in a single archive, as long as the incremental backups are linked to the full backup and the restore process is easy.
-
PowerArchiver compresses full changed files, into separate archive.
Benefits of that is that it is more usable for DVD backup, and that losing one of the incremental backups will not destroy your complete backup.
What you are talking about is how online backups work, is that they change only parts of data from changed files (depending on type of file, it could be more or less). Which is good, if your data storage is 100% reliable.
We are actually planning to do such utility in the future, but it is completely different concept and it will be different utility (free “upgrade” for Toolbox users only).
We have all the backup differential code done with our own engine, and we are actually more efficient than all these online backups when it comes to how much data is stored after change (up to 30%), but we are waiting to finish up our new format in order to do that as that will compress pdf’s, office files and jpegs much more efficiently.
http://ideas.powerarchiver.com/
But again, it is very different concept and more suited to online backups where you can be 100% sure that you will not lose original backup and any of the version files.
If you are burning to DVD, I am not sure which concept would i recommend right now.

Thank you both for replies.

I would definitely be interested in seeing such a feature.

I am currently backing up to an external hard drive.
I think I’ve had most of my questions answered now, but the following two still remain:
- How does the incremental backup handle deleted files? Does PowerArchiver store information about which files have been deleted in the incremental backup?
- How do I go about restoring from the backup? Does PowerArchiver provide any special functionality for this, or do I need to manually extract the initial full backup and then each incremental backup after that?
-
it doesnt handle any of that, they are just archives, just created based on your settings, which are extensive.
Extraction shouldnt be that complicated, for minimum fuss, you can just select all of them and sort by date and extract (and overwrite older ones).
Out Backup is basically most advanced way that exists to create ordinary archives.
