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.

7-zip issues
-
Hi,
- Context menu: Compress to 7-zip + Options…
The Ultra compression seems that does NOT work, because I can only get best compression using the context menu: Compress to “XXXXXFile.7z”
- Compression profiles
When a 7-zip profile is configured the Ulta Compression is not shown in combo.
Best regards!
-
Hi,
thanks for info on profiles. As to compression in shell extensions, in works here - keep in mind that for some files, you wont be able to see the difference between different compression methods…
thanks,
-
Hello again,
I have a folder with a total of 1.54MB of files and sub-folders (with more files).
-
Right click the folder and select Compress to “folder.7z” I got a file of 289 KB;
-
Right click the folder and select Compress to 7-zip + Options… and select Ultra compression I got a file of 434 KB;
-
Right click the folder and select Compress to 7-zip + Options… and select Maximum compression I got a file of 434 KB too.
So, from shell (+Options) Ultra and Maximum produce the same file compression.
I have tested it several times…
-
-
do you have compression profiles set, or anything other than default installation? Did you reboot your computer after installation of 9.00?
thanks,
-
Yes, I re-started it.
Yes, I had a profile, but I deleted.
I made another test with same results…
I have 7-zip installed, but I don’t think this is the problem…
I will make more tests and I’ll get back here to post…
Thank you.
-
The profile problem will be fixed in next release.
One more information. Compress to file.7z now uses Ultra compression + Solid, so to get same results via +Options feature you must turn on also Solid compression.
I will do some small change for next version, so Compress to file.7z uses Maximum + Solid instead of Ultra + Solid (since Ultra can cause memory problems).
-
After check “Solid” now it’s working fine.
I have tested (just one test!) Maximum+Solid and I got the same result as Ultra+Solid, however Maximum+Solid was faster.
Thanks.
-
Sure, ultra can be better only on very big sets of files (with solid option) or on very big files (without solid option). The difference is in dictionary size and when some dictionary size is enought for some files,then there is no difference in ratio. But maximum is always faster and uses less memory.
-

Please don’t!
I (and many others I guess) like it as it is…with the ultra option set by default! -
Then again, on my W98 ancient laptop machine I can’t use Ultra (only 64M ram) :D
All the Explorer shell direct (compress to NN) options should really have dedicated configuration options.
-
yea, but I guess nowadays all PCs have at least 256MB of RAM…and most of them run WinXP…it’s obvious that devs spend most of their efforts on those kind of system…(I’ve got 2GB of RAM :D )
anyway…What do you mean by “All the Explorer shell direct (compress to NN) options should really have dedicated configuration options”?
Can’t you create your own profile via Configuration -> CompressionProfiles? -
Manuangi
I … like it as it is…with the ultra option set by default!
…
create your own profile via Configuration -> CompressionProfiles?:rolleyes: Couldn’t you ? :rolleyes:
Seriously, thanks for the reminder.
Played with profiles for a few days then completely forgot about them :confused: -

problem with that would be inexperienced users changing it and then thinking its PA’s fault. We already have fair share of people asking us how come PA doesnt compress mp3’s or jpg’s…
thanks,
-
That’s OK - I can work with profiles (once the BZip2 query is sorted out).
P.S.
… how come PA doesnt compress … jpg’s …
Well, when I checked last, it does (a little bit) - depends on format :D
Graphic jpegs (digital camera) - 10 Files Total 12,600,516 bytes
