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.

Options saving, encryption and other issues
-
I have been using Powerarchiver for a couple of months now and there are a few issues with the way it functions that bugs me a bit.
I am using version 16.02.04
Saving Options
There needs to be an options auto save off/on flag and a Manual save of options - separate from the import/export options. It’s annoying if I create an encrypted archive by changing the option in the create dialogue, but the next time I don’t want to create an encrypted archive, it asks me for a password because “encrypt” is now the default. Similarly with changing column widths or sort order temporarily, these changes are saved. I’d prefer to save standard layout and options and be able to change these for a particular need without it becoming the new default.
Encryption
Adding a new file to a password encrypted zip file - should encrypt new file with archive password if already entered. PA updates an edited encrypted file without asking for the password again (as its already been entered when opening the file) but adding a new file to the archive when the password has been entered does not automatically use the password for the archive.
Files can be deleted from an encrypted archive without entering the password. Minor bug.
Minor Bugs and Presentation Issues
- When deleting files from an archive the deleted files are still shown until the display is updated with F5. After delete, menu keys are greyed and can’t be clicked.
- File list needs vertical space padding between lines (it looks cramped with the font I use).
- Archive comment box at bottom needs a settable font. The Comment edit box has one, not the display of it.
- The update function needs to preserve settings. The update does a full reinstallation rather than copying changed components into the install directory.
- Mouse scroll wheel does not scroll the file list until a file in the file list window is selected first.
- The Help>About info dialogue has text that is truncated vertically. My text size settings are normal under windows 10
-
Thank you for your comments.
Few questions:
- You are using ZIP archives, encryption?
- Update saves all the settings, this is how Windows Installer works. It always uninstalls everything but keeps the settings. Check with next update and if not, let us know.
- Take a screenshot for About window please.
We will try to reproduce and talk about other things when team is back in the office on Monday.
Thanks again for your comments!!!

Yes, I had the encryption issue with zip archived. Haven’t tried it with other formats.

Thanks for the screenshot.
I’ve looked at the about screen in 125 and 150 DPI display settings and it looked proper, no text was cut off.What are the resosultion/display settings on your machine? We’ll take a look at the exact same scenario and try to reproduce.
Checking out the other mentioned issues as well
Thank you
-
Thanks for looking into this. My display settings are 96 dpi (scaled 100%).
I think that the issue might be that I have changed some of the text sizes of components in Windows 10 control panel.
Under Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display and “Change only Text Size” I have the following settings (not sure what the defaults were):
Title Bars - 13 Bold; Menus 12; Message Boxes 12; Palette Titles 9; Icons 11; Tooltips 9. -
thanks!
will take a detailed look with those settings, thank you -

With larger font option (left from Windows 98 Microsoft?) we cant do the same so window does not change, just the font.

- When deleting files from an archive the deleted files are still shown until the display is updated with F5. After delete, menu keys are greyed and can’t be clicked.
Hello, tried this issue using the latest 16.03.01. I opened a couple or archives, one of subfolders inside and one without, deleted a file in both of them and the deleted file was immediately removed from the archive without a manual refresh.
Does this occur for you on all archives or a specific one?
If you can reproduce on a specific archive that you can send us, please do send it to support at conexware dot com and we will take a look at it immediately.Thanks!
-

Thanks!It occurs on all archives that I have tried: .zip, .rar and .gz. Just tried it on some I have downloaded and archives I have created myself; problem still there. So it is not related to a particular archive.
I wonder whether there is a setting I have set to do this.

maybe location of the archive, are they on C: or some other drive? Thanks!

They are all over the place, not in a system directory. D: drive, E: drive, a ram drive. That’s not the issue.
I was just now experimenting with settings that make a difference. I had the “Viewing Style” (under Configuration View) set to “Classic style” and this is where the display does not update. Changing the style to “Explorer style (with folders)” causes deleted files to be removed from the list immediately; switching the option back to Classic style and deleting files now updates the display immediately and the menus are not greyed out . But, closing PA and reopening the archive and deleting files causes the problem again (Classic style).

Seems like I reproduced it, thanks for the details! -

can you send us what font/size you are using so we can see what works with it. Thanks!

The font I am using is Courier New, Bold, Size 14.
Also perhaps related settings under the File Listing options section: Grid lines option selected, Viewing Style Classic
