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.

Bug: double folder when file unzipped
-
Hello,
My problem is better understood if you read this example done with PowerArchiver (last version) :
I have a root folder (C:\A) named “A” which contains 2 files : “1.htm” and “2.htm”
I zip this “A” folder. It is named “A.zip”.
I erase the folder “A”.
Then I unzip the file “A.zip”. So it creates a folder named “A”.
Until here no problem!But if I open the “A” folder, I have another “A” folder inside!!
Then in order to find the files : “1.htm” and “2.htm”, I have to open again the new “A” folder!I have :
C:\A\A\1.htm
C:\A\A\2.htmWhereas I should have :
C:\A\1.htm
C:\A\2.htmUntil today I thought “whatever” until I realized that I cannot make a keyword search by using the freeware Wilbur http://wilbur.redtree.com/ (I am sure it is not a bug from its part as zip files were working fine before!) inside the “A.zip” file! And that is a big problem for me!
In fact, I assume that the bug is created when I zip the folder.
I have older zip files on my computer. And when I unzip them, there are no problems. So I have this bug only when I create a zip file and try to unzip it.I have also noticed something strange (hope this helps):
Example :
I use a right click and select PowerAchiver to zip the C:\A folder.
I have C:\A.zip
I delete C:\A
I copy C:\A.zip and paste is on C:
So I have “C:\A.zip” and “copy of A.zip”.
then I try to unzip with a right click on PowerArchiver :
And I have the following result :C:\copy of A\A\1.htm
C:\copy of A\A\2.htmNotice that I don’t have : C:\copy of A*copy of A*\1.htm !!
I have already tried without success :
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
and regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\cabview.dll and restart windows.I also use the freeware Rip-zip (warning! I assume that it is this freeware that may causes the bug with PowerArchiver but alas I cannot confirm! It would be great if somebody could! http://harmware.com/ripzip.htm).
I have tried to install/uninstall PowerArchiver and Rip-zip. But the bug is still here.Any help would be welcomed ;-)
Many thanks in advance,
Lip

Note: zip files searches was working fine 3 weeks ago on my computer. -
Are you using Extract to filename/ ?
If so, PA will create initial folder based on filename! Instead you should use Extract Here, and then you would get only whatever path is in the ZIP file.I hope that helps. Otherwise, check whats the path inside of zip archive, since that is what PowerArchiver will use as path for files, if you use extract here feature.
thanks,

C:\A\1.htm
C:\A\2.htm
But alas if I use an older zip file I have to use “Extract to filemame” for having the same result! So I still think it is a bug!I hope that helps. Otherwise, check whats the path inside of zip archive, since that is what PowerArchiver will use as path for files, if you use extract here feature.
I have checked the path shown inside the zip file : it is the correct one C:\a.zip but when I unzip I still have 2 folders!
Any other idea ?
Many thanks in advance,

It is not an bug, you can chose how do you want to extract these files, to the separate folder based on the filename or to the same folder.
So if you use:
- “extract to filename/” - it will extract all the files from the archive in the folder based on the filename (destination folder)
- “extract here” - it will extract all of the files from the archive to the current folder.
If you have path already set in the zip file, that means that PowerArchiver will correctly create another folder in the destination folder.
You can also choose if you want relative path folder saved fully or not, by using “normal relative path”, I am assuming that you have checked that and now relative path is getting stored properly, and extract to filename/ doesnt work as before. You can always uncheck this option in Config> Misc and you will have it working as before, with only partial sorting of relative path.
Whole point of PowerArchiver’s default relative path option, as used in all versions of PA, is that you can select an folder, compress it with shell extensions and simply then use extract to filename/ to recreate exactly the same folder structure.
If you check “use normal path…” option in Config, then this will not work anymore as it did before, and you will have the problem of double folders. But this is not an bug, simply an way you chose PowerArchiver to save path info and to extract files.thanks,

spwolf,
I have tried again to uninstall Powerarchiver and Ripzip.
As it kept an icon for Powerarchiver, I activated the zip folder of xp and reassociate zip file with it. Then, desactivated the zip folder of xp. And it worked as there were no more icons with zip files.
Then, I have installed Powerarchiver again.
And all seems to work fine now! ;-) No bug anymore and no need to change settings in Powerarchiver.For the little story, I still think I had a bug with zip files (no offense intented, but maybe you have not followed the instructions of my example?). Alas I cannot confirm what caused it. ;-(
So if I have the same bug again I will anwser again to this message.Thanks again,
