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?

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?

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.

when clciking on powerarchiver update from within powerarchiver we get a windows for the update but it nows sayes script errors. I think it could be due to windows update in windows 10 can you look into it. By pressing cancel it seems to be ok. It seems that the page being displayed as erros on it.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

Bug - Compression method 99
-
When adding a file to a zip archive from Action-Add, when Method ‘Deflate’ is selected, it’s saved into the archive as ‘compression method’ 99 (unknown) instead of 08 (deflate). This causes issues with Windows Explore native Zip reader, it can’t extract the file.
-
Same goes for right-clicking on a file, selecting ‘Compress with Options’ (we encrypt with AES128, if that matters). The file is also method 99
This is the debug info `zipinfo’ gives me when I parse the archive’s header.
The central-directory extra field contains:
- A subfield with ID 0x9901 (unknown) and 7 data bytes:
02 00 41 45 01 08 00.
- A subfield with ID 0x9901 (unknown) and 7 data bytes:
-
can you please confirm what version of PA and what version of Windows? Also, what did you use to check compression method?
I quickly checked and it seems fine… shows as deflate and opens up in Windows Explorer.
Thanks!

Now I see your 2nd post… so basically reason this does not work is that Windows does not support AES encryption… the library that they use is very old and company went out of business, thus their zip support is limited.
Just to make sure something new did not happen, I checked with WinZip, SecureZIP and few other ZIP programs and Windows will not read any of them… I was using latest 8.1 release.

My apologies, I’m new to this whole “reporting a bug” thing.
PA 15.01.05
Windows 7 SP1, full updates.This issue has been reproduced on 2 separate systems, both are the same OS and PA version.
I can reproduce this by using any of the AES encryption ciphers, it doesn’t happen with the old 2.04g cipher and non-encrypted files.
This is an example file. Explorer isn’t able to open the first AES file.
http://hackthegibson.net/tmp/test%20file.zipOn the broken AES file (exact duplicate of the other AES file), also notice the ‘packed’ size is different and the ‘CRC’ is blank in PA.
Everything works properly when I drag-drop the file into the archive, Windows 7 can read AES128.
-
I’ve pasted the full output of `zipinfo’ to http://pastebin.com/Vsvbmq9w
Look at file #3:
test file encrypted aes128.txt
compression method: unknown (99)
32-bit CRC value (hex): 00000000While the functioning AES128 file, #4, reads as:
test file encrypted aes128 - WORKS.txt
compression method: deflated
32-bit CRC value (hex): 20e267dd -
can you cab that file and send it to us via email? support@conexware.com
I cant download it from that site for some reason.Are you sure that zip crypto is not being used in the case where it works? You can check method in PowerArchiver, right click on any of the list view columns and click on Method.
Thanks a lot!

All the files show as “DFLT-X”
As requested, the cab file has been emailed.

thanks - I will check it out and let you know.

Chris - how did you create one that works, via drag and drop? There seems to be a problem there, since that file is encrypted using zip crypto method (from 2.04g spec).
Keep in mind that there is a central and local directory in zip archive. Now our compression guys are already out, but I would not be surprised if this is done for compatibility reasons, so you would not try to enter password for unknown encryption dozen times.

i have written bug report for drag & drop - zip crypto creation… this should be corrected in next upcoming release, which should be quite soon. I will update this thread once we have that ready… thanks a lot for the report.
I am also setting up Win7 test computer to see if it actually supports aes, unfortunately i dont think thats the case - it was likely just confusion due to the bug in drag and drop.
thank you!!!
-
Correct, it worked when I used drag & drop. Thanks for finding the issue!

Here is the updated PA 2015 15.02.1 which fixes the bug with zipcrypto instead of AES when using drag and drop:
