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.

How do i right click compress to name of file
-
Hi, i used to be able to do this on the universities computer who had power archiver installed but not on my own computer at home and that is when ever i right click on a file i wish to compress at university it says compress to “Filename”.zip (this is what i want to do) at home when i right click it says compress to “Folder the file is in”.zip This is annoying as why would i want to call my new zip file the folder it is in. So how can i set it so when i right click it will compress to the nane of the file.
Also could i ask if you could make this a default setting on newer versions.
Thank you

Windows Explorer right click menu choices are configured under “Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions”.
However, right-clicking on a single file (e.g. foobar.txt) in Windows Explorer does offer “Compress to foobar.zip” as default :confused:
If you right-click on a folder, that is when it offers “Foldername.zip”
I therefore assume you are right clicking after selecting multiple files and want to compress each one individually - if so, this is not possible (at least, not yet - it is probably one of the oldest things on the wishlist).
To compress multiple files individually, you should launch the “Tools/Batch Zip” utility from within PowerArchiver.
-
Yes you are right but what i am actually wanting to do is choose a bunch of files and put them in the one archive with the name of the file i have right clicked on.
So if i have three files (say two txt files and an exe file) i select them all but then on the last one (eg. the exe file) that i want the zip file to be called i right click on that last one and instead of giving me the name of that file to zip up with it usually says either Desktop.zip or New Folder.zip depending where those three files were located. I do not want this. So is it possible to change to this.
This used to work at university so im sure its possible
Thanks
-
So if i have three files (say two txt files and an exe file) i select them all…
OK - with you so far
@Anthony1uk:… but then on the last one (eg. the exe file) that i want the zip file to be called i right click on that last one …
But here, you lost me :confused:
If I do that, then the other selected files are deselected, I am now only compressing the last file - so I am offered “filename.zip”.
If you meant shift-click (or ctrl-click) on the last one to select all the files - then it works as I said : “FolderName.Zip” for multiple files.
This used to work at university so im sure its possible
Not in windows explorer, maybe you were using the new archive/add to archive dialog within PowerArchiver when the zip file had already been named?

Thanks for all your help on this but i will show you what i am meaning i have uploaded a screen capture of my computer desktop as an AVI format, I have uploaded it to a you sendit file here to show you what happens when i try to right click zip something
http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=14F5PTNTIRBPR1JBOEGTPNUT8K
What i want to do is select a bunch of files, right click and have the zip archive to be the name of the file i right clicked on like i say it definitely used to work at university. It may have been a different zip program i was using at uni but i am sure it was power archiver, and if you say it works then i am assuming its just my computer acting up as if you say its possible but it does not seem to work for me.
The screen capture will show what happend.
Thank for all your help and patience on this.

Ahh, you are not using Windows Explorer ! You have files on the desktop and are “lassooing” them (Click and drag).
Just tried this, it seems that if you lasso shortcuts, then right click on one of them - only the target of one you rightclick on is compressed (so individual filename.zip is offered), but if you lasso actual files then all are compressed and it works the same way as I described in Windows Explorer (with the foldername being DeskTop.zip).
So, it actually works the same way as I decribed before.
-
Thanks but is there anyway that i could set it now or you could set in future releases that if i choose three objects and right click on one them the archive will be named what i right clicked on.
As to me it seems strange it would only give you the option to call it desktop.zip i mean why would anyone want to call their archive that?
Thanks for all your help though
-

Because that is the name of the directory/folder the files are in. If you saved them to
“C:\Program Files\This Is My Program”
Then the Zip would be named “This Is My Program.zip” :rolleyes:Thanks but is there anyway that i could set it now or you could set in future releases that if i choose three objects and right click on one them the archive will be named what i right clicked on.
You could create a Folder on the desktop “This Is My Program”, move your files into it and then Zip that Folder :)
You could always make a request in the Forum Wishlist - however, I’m not sure how you think PowerArchiver would pick which of the filenames to use from the list provided by Windows Explorer or how users would be able to control it.
Choosing (and/or lassoing) and then right-clicking depends on Windows Explorer and not PowerArchiver. The filenames are then passed as a list to PowerArchiver via the context menu.Usually, the order of files in the list is not important.
Maybe when CTRL-clicking explorer provides the list of files in “selection” order (last clicked is last in list)?
Don’t know what the order would be when “lassoing” though (alphabetical?).P.S. I’m another user I don’t work for Conexware/Powerarchiver :D

Say you want to put aa.txt bb.doc and cc.exe into cc.zip.
Right click cc.exe and create cc.zip containing just cc.exe
Then select aa.txt and bb.doc and drop them on to cc.zip
cc.zip will now contain copies of all three files
