    • Action Move - Not Working in Tools - Batch Archive

      G

      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 archives

      My PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .

      Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

    • Power Archiver Starter - CPU and power overhead

      PA_Fan

      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?

    • Need to find out how to disable "all users" to end UAC elevation prompt on running PA

      Q

      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.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      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.pdf

      Can 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.

      Hi,

      PA does not seem to be opening archives in tabs anymore. I have archive “A” loaded and it shows in one tab. If I load another archive (from within PA), the same tab then has the just-loaded archive in it. I would expect a second tab to open. I have not knowingly changed any options that would affect this.

      OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?

      Cheers

            ah yeah, so it is another thing… by default when you use Open, it requires you do click on + to create new tab in order to open there.

            And if you use windows explorer to doubleclick on file, it will be automatically added to new tab.

            So you think we should change behaviour when using Open button too?

              Hi spwolf,

              If I double click on files in explorer, another widow opens even if I have reuse windows selected. Tabs used to work in a previous version and the only things I have knowingly messed about experimented with recently are the toolbar icons.

              So you think we should change behaviour when using Open button too?

              Absolutely! I did not realise that that was the case. I cannot understand why it was made to behave differently. IMHO, consistency is important in programs as it goes a long way to make them intuitive. I would assume that is somebody does not like tabs, they would likely want to turn them off globally rather than here and there.

              Cheers

                  No real change. Double-clicking in explorer opens another window. Opening from the MRU list removes the previously opened archive so that only one window and the same tab is present.

                    try reseting your PA settings via Options> Reset to defaults. You can save them before if you have some important changes.

                    And lets see what happens then? Thanks.

                    edit: do save those settings first so we can investigate why.

                          @drteeth If you click on new tab sign on tab, then new tab is opened and open/mru will open there. This is how it is made to work right now.

                          For always opening new tab, we have to implement new option so it is switchable on/off. For the way I use PA, it would create too many tabs that I would have to close manually.

                          thanks!

                            As for your problem with many tabs, just have a “close all” option.

                            What about my request to be able to use a mouse’s forward and back buttins to navigate the archive? I always press my back button first by instinct and only then realise that I have to use the cursor and my left mouse button.

                            I look forward to the tab enhancements.
