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.

Compression profiles
-
Earlier I asked about compression profiles, and, unless I am mistaken, I never got an answer.
Actually, I have the earlier questions and a new one.
-
I have tried creating profiles. I was able to create one, but couldn’t do anything with it. I couldn’t rename it, and it would never show up in any drop down box where I really wanted to use it. Any idea where I am going awry?
-
I specifically want to create a ZIP and a ZIPX profile with different compression, and with one encrypted and one not. Just cannot seem to do it. Ideas.
-
The profile I DID manage to create does not show up on my list of profiles in the configuration menu . . . but it is somehow still there as an option in the ftp menu. Any idea why? How do I get rid of it?
-
-
we will take a look, thank you.
-
this should work fine now in the latest version.
Fixed previously and tested today.If there are any issues, please note specifics
Thanks! -
We are half way home.
I CAN now rename new profiles.
But one issue remains, and now I see a new related one.
If I go to the FTP tab, then look under the list of available profiles (the second one on that part of the ribbon): (a) the old “profile 1” (which I couldn’t rename) is still there, even though it is not listed in the compression profiles on the config page. I may just got poking around the registry to see if I can clean it out. (b) it does not allow me to choose ZIPX (or a new profile) for sending files via FTP.
THEN, while trying to see if I could find “Profile 1” in the registry . . .
I notice that all the ZTE registry entries are still there, even though I uninstalled it. Any problem with deleting that key? -
Can you sent a screenshot of what you are referring to?
I’m not sure where compression profiles would show up in the FTP tab. -
But how do I add an image. The add image option wants a URL.
-
just found it.
Think it is there now.
-
If you click on Go Advanced and bring up the Advanced reply window, you’ll be able to add an attachment.
-
you found it, great!!
thanks for posting the screenshot!Tested it and it worked fine. A profile which I created and initially named “mili” showed up in FTP Profiles as “mili”
then i renamed it to “mili 2” and it showed up as “mili 2”
Then I deleted it, and it did not show up anymorePlease check to see how it shows up in config and that it did not by chance stay in config as “profile1”
-
BTW, I am still having the same problem.
When I drag and drop to a zipx file, the format option is listed as ZIP, and the Profile option is greyed out . . . unless I scroll through the other format options first . . . and then the profile option drop down option works.
Been doing this for close to six months. apparently you have not been able to find a solution.
I assume this is not something there by design.

right now ZIPX is not an special profile category, but option within ZIP profile (depending on what compression you chose)… is this what is happening?
-
See the two images attached.
The first I get by default when I drag and drop.
The second the drop down profile becomes active, and I can add the ZIPx profile I created.

Thanks Socrates, I was able to find a similar issue with compression profiles and D&D into archive and that is logged in.
However, could not find/reproduce what you posted.
Could you provide a more detailed screenshot and explanation so that I may exactly reproduce and log it in.
Thanks! -
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.
Just stick the attached image between the 2 I sent earlier.
(1) right after D&D I cannot see the profile (or choose among profile options) — previous Profile1 image
(2) I shift to another format (see new attached image)
(3) then back to Zip format, and the drop down profile options appear (previous Profile 2 image.That help?
attachment_p_30014_0_profiles-1a.pdf -
you are D&Ding into a zipx archive?
-
I ask as the D&D dialog is what is in the screenshot and the compression profiles option is different than what is shown in your screenshot.
That is why i asked for a larger/more detailed screenshot.
-
I don’t have ZipStore as an option no matter what. And I have ZIPX only because I added it.
I cannot think of anything else to send you other than what I have sent.
If you all are just not sure, there’s no reason to ask any more. I will just plan on taking the extra steps everytime I d&d.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.
-
The options in the dropdown shown in my screenshot are profiles i created as well.
I posted the screenshot to show what the D&D dialog looks like, differing from what I can comprehend in the screenshot you sent.I guess I’ll try to decipher your screenshots and try to reproduce the issue. Thanks!
-
maybe check with professors pa registry and see if you can reproduce it like that. it might be due to the specific profile.
-
All you need look at for sure is Profile 1 image I sent 2-3 days ago. When I first try to d&d the profile drop down window is greyed out – and so the other features are wrong.
Only after I change to another format (say, 7z) and then back to zip does the profile drop down window become active (is no longer greyed out).
The very first image identifies the problem (by my lights). the other two only show what I must do to get the profile drop down window to work.
-
I was finally able to figure it out.
It happens when dragging a file onto a Zipx archive, in windows explorer for example. (file not open in main PA)Logging it in.
-
Thanks.
Sorry it took me so long to explain it clearly. My bad. That is almost always the way I add files to an archive, so I erroneously assumed most other people did the same. Duh. I am slow.
-
I didn’t try ALL D&D options myself so my fault as well :)
Thanks for bringing it up, glad we got it!
logged in :) -
Goodness. No need to apologize. It is my job to explain the problem clearly. You all have a difficult enough job as it is.
I am just glad I was finally able to explain it clearly enough.
Thanks for a great product.

ah, dragging into the icon? :-).
you see how many different scenarios there are!
-
Many ways of doing it. But D&D onto the icon always seemed the easiest.
Which is why I would also like to be able to move or copy depending on which keys I hold down while D&D (which key combinations matters now) — just as move seems the default in Win 7, but holding down the CTRL key while doing it copies the file.
