    • 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.

      Under Shell Extensions there is an option:
      Extract to filename / multiple archives into separate folders.

      I’d like to do the above but then into a different location e.g. F:\temp
      separate file folders, using the filename as directory name.

      So: Extract to ‘F:\temp’ filename / multiple archives into separate folders

      The current setup will extract the multiple filenames in the same directory
      as where the files are located.

      For good order’s sake:
      file:
      aaa.zip
      bbb.zip
      ccc.zip

      shd be extracted into
      f:\temp\aaa
      f:\temp\bbb
      f:\temp\ccc

      It this is already feasable, how do I configure this??

      Thanks!

        In windows explorer, select the zip files - right click and drag to F:\temp -then select the PowerArchiver options.

        Does that work (only done a quick check in WinXp) ?

          TBGBe that works for me and I like it!

          Another option is using PACL integrated into the shell so when right clicking a zip file you get a new context menu choice…

          Copy the following into your text editor and adjust it to suit your needs. Then save to a file with “.reg” as the extension and double click it to merge it into the registy. Now right click a zip file in Directory Opus (or Windows Explorer) and you have a new choice near the top of the menu.

          -----------------------REG FILE BEGINS ON NEXT LINE DON’T SAVE THIS LINE!
          Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PAZIP\Shell\Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders]
          @=“Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders”
          “Position”=“0”

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PAZIP\Shell\Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders\command]
          @=“d:\temp\test.bat”
          –---------------------REG FILE ENDS ON PREVIOUS LINE DON’T SAVE THIS LINE!

          With test.bat named / edited to ones own needs. For testing purposes I used
          xcopy *.zip e:\temp
          e:
          cd e:\temp
          paext -psub e:\Temp*.zip
          del e:\temp*.zip

          Tested with XP but I think it should work with any version => 95.
          Best wishes.

            Hi,

            you can also set this option to be default in shell extensions. Just take a look at PA> Options> Config> Shell ext.

              thanks,

              Requirement - select multiple zip files
              c:\download\aaa.zip
              c:\download\bbb.zip
              c:\download\ccc.zip

              extract (via shell) to
              f:\utils\aaa
              f:\utils\bbb
              f:\utils\ccc\

              OK, I looked and cannot find it - without using right-click drag.
              As “wulffra” said
              Currently shell will extract the multiple filenames into the same directory
              as where the files are located (c:\download) - Want to give a clue?

                Ah yes, if you want to extract to different root folder, then yes, only way it works is to use drag and drop and then select the option.

                    I don’t mean to belittle your hack but I think we should clarify for beginners -

                    1. it uses PACL and not PA
                    2. it needs a fixed utility file “d:\temp\test.bat”
                    3. the destination folder is fixed (e:\temp\… )

                    I know that 2 & 3 can be changed/modified to individual needs, but this is not exactly “user friendly” for beginners.

                    Besides, the restrictions for PACL as opposed to PowerArchiver means that it will not work for all cases e.g 7-zip / filesize >4GB etc.

                                It would then have to be named like “Extract to \multiple filenames” (or something
                                similar)
