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.

Power Archiver not including files when creating zip.

I recently installed Power Archiver 9.11 on a fresh install of XP SP2 to try it out. I really like the program, but don’t seem to be able to trust it.
For some reason, when I select a group of folders to compress (each containing a few small files), Power Archiver creates a zip file containing the folders in question, but none of them contain the actual files. The first time it happened I thought I’d just made some sort of error, but now I have a group of folders on which I can constistently duplicate the problem. Yet any other groups of folders I try to compress seems to work fine.
I’ve tried moving the particular folder group to the root of the drive and compressing them from there, but it didn’t seem to make any difference. I have found that if I right click on the root folder (the one containing all the sub folders), then Power Archiver compresses everything fine. However if I navigate into the root folder, select all the sub folders, then right click to create a zip file, Power Archiver creates a zip file containing the folders but none of the files they contain. There’s about 65 folders that I’m trying to compress, but they all contain pretty small files. I’ve even tried just selecting a few of them but the problem still exists. What I’m finding really hard to understand is that I can consistently reproduce the problem on this one group of folders, yet for the moment everything else I try to compress seems to work fine.Hopefully I explained all that well.
Has anyone else experiences this behaviour?Thanks,
Darren -
Okay, just as I was hitting the submit button on the above post I developed a theory. I’ve tested it and now seem to think I’ve found the bug, but if someone else could test it out too that would be great.
The group of folders I was trying to compress were all named after the version of the files they contained. So each folder was called something like “Program.1.3.5”. I can only assume that the “.” in the file name is causing Power Archiver to treat the folders as files, and it therefore doesn’t look inside them. To confirm this theory I renamed a few of them, removing the version number so there were no "."s in the name. I then recompressed the group of folders and sure enough, all the ones I’d renamed contained files but none of the rest did.
So for now I know not to use Power Archiver, and I’ll have to walk away from the computer for a while so I can come back to it in a less distressed state, when hopefully I’ll be in a better frame of mind to sort out all the files I’ve lost since installing it. :-( -
the best thing you can do is share those folders with us, uploading them on the web, so that we may download them and look about the problem.

There shouldn’t be a need for that. It’s a pretty simple bug to reproduce.
Just create a couple of folders. Call one “test.01” and the other “test.02”
Stick a couple of files in each folder. Now select both folders and compress them from the right click menu. The resulting zip file will contain the folders, but the folders won’t contain any files. Now rename the folders to “test” and “testing”. Compress them again and everything will be fine.I’ve uninstalled 9.11 and installed 9.1
Run the tests again and the bug is no longer present.Although……
I was testing the folders on the root of my C drive. When compressing them with the older version (9.1), it insisted in trying to include the hyberfil.sys file in the archive, even though it wasn’t selected. But that’s another story… -

I could reproduce the bug.So, PA fails to include any files in folders named with a point in their name, but just when compressing to ZIP.
I tried to compress to other types like CAB, 7Z, BH and all worked fine.Using 9.11.01

Cheers,
Thanks for confirming it!
I didn’t actually check any of the other formats. I was using version 9.11.01 myself. It seems that’s the only version with the problem.Thanks,

thanks - we will check it out!
