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. -
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).

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.

YEnc Decoder
-
It looks like PowerArchiver will encode yEnc file but NOT decode them–-at least I haven’t gotten it to.
Anyone know if it will or should?
Also has anyone found a better yEnc decoder than yEnc32.exe?Note:
unfortunately Newgroups still use yEnc extensively although god only knows WHY! -
Yenc support was added in PA8.50 (see whatsnew.txt).
It “recognises” Yenc files using file extension “ntx”.
Can you give more details of your problem with decoding?
I just tried to encode and then decode a jpg (using PA 9.2 beta) - worked fine :confused: -
Hi Terry,
What I’m looking at (Saved attachments files from a Newsgrooup) are a series of files with .001, .002, .003 extensions and then some .par2 files which verify the series. These are not proper RAR files as you might think from the numbered extension but in fact yEnc encoded files.
When all the parts are complete the various Newsreaders will automatically decode them. If a part is incomplete and I have to use something like Quickpar to repair one of the numbered files using the downloaded .par2** file–-That is where I have problems. At that point the Newsreader itself in not going to decompress the series and the only stand-alone decompressor I have that understands these files–yEnc32.exe is old, no longer supported and doesn’t seem to work on current yEnc encoded files.
**and that is the purpose of these .par2 file–to repair incomplete segments.
So far I haven’t found that PA–I’m using PA9 has any ability with these files—not even the ones a newsreader like NewsRover or Agent Forte is able to decompresses successfully.
BTW:
When you’re looking at a series of files with a .ntx extension are they .nt1, .nt2, .nt3 because Newgroup attachment in a series generally all have the same filename with a discrete numbered extension as I describe above…eg., file.001, file.002, file.003…etc
renaming the series to file1.ntx, file2.ntx, file3.ntx results in
“unknown.001” error when loaded into PA9
renameing the series to file.nt1, file.nt2, file.nt3 results in
“unrecognized compression format” errorAnd again:
This is simply the Defacto standard compression format for Newsgroup files with compressed attachments. It’s archiac but that’s what you get. -
So basically what you are saying is that PA 9.2 does not support these file.001 yENC files?
What we could do is check it out for 9.5 and add support for it? I know how newsgroups work, people posting love simply changing the rules of the game all the time :-).
thanks,
-
I’d be glad to check out PA9.5 from this end although I have no idea where to locate that verson–assume it’s an internal beta.
BTW. PA9 2 does offer to encode yEnc files. I don’t know that the yEnc compression standard has changed but the .par verification files have. The new .par2 files will not process with legacy versions of Quickpar or Smartpar. Trying to find “current” yEnc ecode/decode details on the WWW is like looking for hens teeth in a chicken coop.
I consider PA to be a forerunner in PC file compression Applicatons and with a resurgence of Newsgroups–now being used for Filesharing more than community correspondence–I wonder why folks don’t use more current and mainstream compression technology.

No
Current release version is 9.2 - 9.5 will be the next release version.I think/hope this was a :p
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610Regarding PAR2 & Yenc files - I don’t know.
Maybe your newsgroup has a FAQ which covers this?
