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.

@spwolf Thanks Buddy!

@spwolf, in the cloud section, the local folder tree is also not saved / does not show after PA restart.

The cloud thing in PA has NEVER made any sense to me.
It either isn’t finished or it’s the most totally unintuitive, baffling even, thing I’ve ever seen.
I just press New and it chooses DropBox for me with no way to change it!! But I no longer use DropBox, only Google Drive. -

I’m getting really bizarre results with PA 20.00.53 extracting this rar file by drag and drop into the root of a USB flash drive (using extract here).
The directory structure is really weirdly mangled. -

Just installed this version, I am using DisplayFusion with a DF Taskbar at the top on my second monitor, PA opened full screen underneath the toolbar. When I moved the window to monitor one, with the Windows 10 Taskbar at the top of the screen, PA was still taking over the whole screen and under the Taskbar.
Maximizing PA caused it to properly not take the whole screen but rather fit under the Taskbar in the client area.
Also, there is no standard Windows System Menu (Alt-Space) to make Maximize/Restore/etc. possible when the window is misdrawn.
Opening Configuration takes a very long time, and the main window appears to be responsive but isn’t really available while waiting for Configuration to show up.
Also, picking SmartAI | Configure SmartAI brought up the Configuration dialog behind the main window which makes the main window stop responding, and Alt-Tabbing away and back just causes the Options window to show up behind again. Always on Top may be enabled, I can’t tell because clicking it turned it bright blue, then it went dark blue, and clicking it won’t cause it to go back to dark gray.
Pressing ESC closed the Configuration dialog and then clicking Always on Top turned it back to dark gray.
When the Main window is fullscreen (but not maximized), the lower right corner double arrow (is it really necessary to avoid all Windows standards and make up your own controls?) does nothing - dragging it or any window sides will not resize the window even though it is not maximized.
Clicking the Applications button at the upper left opens the vertical icons bar to show the application names associated with each icon (like Windows Start Menu). Clicking the button again causes the expanded names area to close, open again and then close again (!).
This is way less tested than I expected.
-
This post is deleted! -
@wilsonp And you’re blaming PowerArchiver rather than Display Fusion why exactly?
-
@Brian-Gregory Because additional taskbars on screens are a fully supported Windows feature (since at least Windows 7) and there is a standard Windows API for creating them and having them managed. All other programs have no trouble understanding that there is a taskbar at the top of the second monitor.
Also, I disabled the DF secondary Taskbar and enabled the stock Windows 10 second Taskbar. When I opened PA it came up (with the nag screen behind the main screen!) it was maximized from when I closed it. When I clicked the max button to restore, it took over the whole screen over top of the Windows 10 standard Taskbar on the top of the screen.
Once PA is sized to the client size it no longer displays this behavior - it appears to have just happened on install.

Having one issue with the RC1 - when extracting a zip file using drag and drop to a network share, it prompts for UAC - which I allow - and prompts again, and then keeps on flashing up but not extracting anything - and there is now way to close it down other than logging off/shutting down. Seems like the UAC handling is broken at present. This is not an issue with the current production version, where I use this a lot of the time.
-
Another issue found: I have compress to ZIP and compress to ZIPX setup on the context menu. If I do a compress to ZIP it is actually compressing to ZIPX :-(
