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.

With PowerArchiver context menu enabled, it is crashing Windows 10 File Explorer when right-clicking on the Default User junction in C:\Users.

UNSOLVED 17.00.91 I couldn't create a largish .pa in a subfolder in my GoogleDriveSync folder and things went weird. Repeatable on my PC.

I couldn’t create a largish .pa in a subfolder in my GoogleDriveSync folder. I right click on a subsubfolder and choose “Compress to subfolder.pa”. I’m expecting a .pa file somewhere in the region of 15MB in size. However PA halts with an error saying it doesn’t have access and leaves an unfinished .pa file and a .pa.tmp file. One of them, if I remember right the .pa file proves very difficult to delete. I went in to safe mode in the end and then I could delete it. I’ll try and investigate further soon.
-
@brian-gregory interesting… maybe gdrive is trying to sync the file and then PA cant access it?
-
@Mili can check it out…
-
Have been trying to reproduce the error, but works every time. A 20MB .PA archive created out of a subfolder in GoogleDriveSynch folder, is created properly.
Was this a one time issue for you @Brian-Gregory or happens every time?
-
Okay wait for me to investigate further.
Fails every time on my PC, but there is loads of other stuff install that might be interacting.
Seems like what I said about being unable to delete the file was wrong too, it deletes fine if you wait a while. -
if it’s a certain type of file, or maybe it is in use, let us know. we’ll try with a scenario as similar as yours
thanks again!

Still seen here with .92. It seems to be only when the .tmp file is created as well as the .pa file. It also seems more likely to happen when the directory being compressed is larger. Originally the directory was about 45MB of file and with Google Drive Sync (Now Backup and Sync from Google) disabled the result was an about an 18MB .pa file. But I think it’s more likely to happen if you use larger sizes. I was using Optimize Strong and Ultra.

i would guess that google sync takes over the file trying to sync it before it is done. If you go to Add window> Options, and turn off Use current folder as temp, it will use temp folder and copy end result to your google sync folder… that way it should work fine.
-
@spwolf I think the problem is that PA want’s to rename the .tmp file. Why does it work that way, if the .pa file is temporary and the .tmp file is going to be the final archive why not just use the names the other way round?
-
@brian-gregory because tmp file keeps copying into pa files at the end of different compression steps… if you disable same folder for temp in options, it will just copy end result to that folder and you would avoid this issue.
But pretty sure the problem is that google starts syncing (and locking) that file right away, while PA is still being written. Same when I tried to use Outlook pst file in google sync folder, it would cause corruption since it would lock it at the same time when Outlook is using it.
-
@spwolf No that doesn’t make any difference. It still creates both files. It appears to do one step into the .pa file copy it to the .tmp file do another bit in the .pa file append to the .tmp file etc and at the end delete the .pa and rename the .tmp to .pa.
-
@brian-gregory it should be in temp folder… @mili will log it in.
