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.

Extract archive to subfolder - multiple archives to one folder
-
Several versions now I’m seeing this problem…
I have the ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ context menu action enabled under the shell extension settings. In all past versions, selecting multiple archives and then dragging-and-dropping them to a destination folder and extracting them with this option caused all archives to be extracted to their own folder - named after each archive. Since the last few versions, only a single folder gets created (named after the FIRST selected archive) with all of the archives contents being extracted to the single folder…
Is this “known” and expected to be fixed soon? Having to select and individually extract each archive is a real pain…
-
Hi steje,
The Option you’re looking for is Extract to filename/
It’s not enabled by default and you have to add it manually, here’s a screenshot showing where it is. Single click it and click Add or Add to Submenu
-
Once you do add it, the right click option will look like the highlighted below.
It shows up when multiple archives are selected and right clicked and it will extract all archives into separate folders;
-
Thanks as always Mili… this was a self-inflicted problem. I must have messed around with my shell extension settings for some reason at some point and didn’t realize I had reset them to use the wrong subfolder action. Thanks for correcting me… all good now.
-
maybe we could set this as default option for 2015?

You’re very welcome steje!
As spwolf points out, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to make this a default option in PA 2015. As it’s probably the most logical way to handle extracting multiple archives into subfolders. -
So - ironically, since updating to 15.00.38 - this seems to have BECOME a legitimate issue :-)!
I’ve got 3 zip files in the same folder:
Autoruns.zip
SysinternalsSuite.zip
Sysmon.zipI select all three and drag them with right mouse button and then release. I pick what seems to be the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ item from the drop menu. But only one folder is created, with the contents of all three zip files mixed into the one folder (named after the first selected zip file). Same behavior as if you’re using the ~wrong shell extension option like I had unknowingly been doing before == the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ item.
So, I went into Configuration, and edited the Shell Extensions/Extraction page to remove ALL menu items (except for the sub-menu that you never let us remove ;-) ). I was surprised that after doing this, I still had both the ‘Extract Here’ and ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu items appear on the drop menu…?
But I then go back into Configuration and re-add the ‘Extract to filename/ (multiple archives into separate folders)’ item, and when testing again - it still DISPLAYS in the context menu as if it’s the right item (by virtue of showing \filename\ at the end of the Extract To text shown in the context menu text, instead of the actual name of only the first of multiple filenames selected which is indicative of the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu item). But again, the behavior is as if the regular item is selected.
Weird… did you perhaps in fact make a change in v15 like the one described here about making the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ the default behavior, but it somehow went terribly wrong - lol?
-
yep, we added by default for both options to work… it seems that drag and drop one has the issue you experienced, while “normal” right click works fine? Please check it out.
thanks!
-
Hi wolf… yes, confirmed. The right click context menu Extract to /filename/ works as expected as you said. It’s only the drop menu thats broken…
-
okie dokie, new version should be out soon.
-
Hi folks, just wondering if there is a fix for this intended for release some time soon? I submitted a ‘Support Form’ last week but it seems maybe the support form might be a bit deprecated? At least, the version drop down only goes as high as PA2013, and I didn’t get a response… so I’m mentioning again here now because several updates have been released so far without a fix.
-
hey Steje, this was logged into the system but we’re now adding it to the list for the next update. thanks very much for the reminder!
-

did you get ticket number automatically?
-
Thanks Mili!
Hi spwolf… I don’t recall seeing anything other than a web page that acknowledged me submitting the report. I didn’t get an email or anything like that (I checked SPAM, etc).
I just submitted a new report for another issue I’ve been having - and I see that PA2015 is now an option in the drop down - thanks. But again - I just get a “Your report has been sent, and will be replied to as soon as possible!” page come up - and no email ack that a report has been filed, etc.
-
weird, still nothing and nothing in the logs of the support software… what support page are you sending it from?
You can just send email to support at conexware dot com… it will automatically accept your report and send you ticket number… lets try that!

Hi wolf… yeah, I installed the 15.02.02 build and the drop menu action now works correctly for multiple archives.
Thanks for the fix!

Actually - sorry - but something else is broken now ;-).
I went straight to testing extraction of multiple archives, which now works like it used to. Separate folders are created correctly for each archive… However, when extracting just a SINGLE archive - it behaves as if you just used the ‘Extract Here’ drop action. I.e. the contents of the archive are extracted to the current folder - no new folder gets created.
Shall I send an email with the problem report - or is reporting here good enough to get it fixed?
