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.

SOLVED PA 18.00.24 - Comments, hangs and folder deletes
-
A few oddities, that seem to have cropped up again.
- Comments do not show when opening a commented .zipx archive. Are these shown automatically and, if so, where? Attached screenshot of bottom right of archive in case something should be there, but moving around that area doesn’t, for example, pop up anything.
- As with previous versions, using the Advanced Add window to move files from a folder has the effect of deleting the folder when the last file is moved to .zipx archive. This doesn’t happen with the “Non-Advanced” window i.e. the files are emptied from the source folder, but the folder remains.
- Invalid Pointer Error being returned (see screenshot) quite regularly. I am as yet unable to discern a pattern.
I think it’s been noted elsewhere, but in the About window PA 24 is shown as 23, although the powerarc.exe file version is correctly shown as 24 in Properties>Details.
-
@spwolf It’s looking good with .25.
The comments are showing fine.
I understand the problem with Advanced>Move when using zip/zipx. I suppose the only way around it would be to “interrupt” the implicit upwards file to folder check and implied delete, by a “Delete folder Y/N” to reverse the check from folder back to files. Even if possible, it could be considered overkill, and it may be just something to live with.
I’ve tried various things like changing folder properties to RO, but that doesn’t do anything.
The next thing I’ll be addressing in a separate topic are some of the skinning features. That should keep me out of the way and occupied over Christmas and Boxing Day.
Season’s Greetings to all at Powerarchiver.

Hi @PA_Fan
many thanks for these!
We were able to reproduce the error on a zipx file and it has been logged in for fixing.
We also reproduced the issue where the archive comments are not showing when opening archive, even though the corresponding box has been check to show in the Action>Archive comments window.
That has also been logged in for fixing.We tested the folder delete scenario you described and in both cases the folders are being deleted. Both when using the Adv. Add window and the regular add window.
How are you adding the folder to the add window tracklist exactly? We’ll try the same.Thanks again!

On the Add problem.
When using “simple” Add (Move command) the following happens:-
a) If the folder is selected, then the files in it are moved and the folder is deleted.
b) However, if the individual files within the folder are selected, either in one pass (e.g. 3 files in folder selected at once), or one by one (i.e. select file1, move it, then file2 and so on), the folder is emptied of the moved files, but is NOT deleted.
In the Advanced scenario,:-
a) Selecting the folder Moves the files and the folder is deleted (as per a) in “Simple” above).
b) If all the files are selected at once (each box checked), or one by one, then on the last check of a file box, the folder box in lefthand window is also checked. The files are then moved and the folder deleted.In summary:-
- selecting the folder in the Move operation in either Advanced or “Simple” Add will move the files and delete their folder as well.
- in “Simple” mode, selecting all the files in the folder, either en masse or individually, will Move them to the archive, but leave their empty source folder on disk.
- the same approach in Advanced mode will always result in the folder being checked and deleted when ALL files in it have been selected and moved (but not if, for example, the folder contains 3 files of which 2 are selected and moved, leaving 1 untouched-which is as expected).
Bear in mind this is all when working on .zipx archives, so the Move operation isn’t relevant to, for example, .cab archives or others which don’t support this.

@PA_Fan Hello - please check .25:
New version: PowerArchiver 2018 18.00.25
Download: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2018/powarc180025.exeIt shows comments in new panel at the bottom (when selected) and error should be fixed too.
As to the Advanced Add window - I guess the problem is with checkbox control and its automatic selection of folder when all files are selected. Thats probably how it works and in all other situations it makes sense except for when moving files, since it selects the folder automatically, engine removes the folder. We will see what we can do, not sure if we can do something about it. @mili will write it up.
thanks!
