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.

Hi:
I have use 7-zip-ultra to archive a folder and test after achiving,and it’s alright.however,When I extract it then the folder have no files in it ,no content,then how to use 7-ultra-zip and how to extract the zip files so to ensure successfully have contents archived into the zip files ?
thanks
-
To save the data, can you try using 7-Zip Archiver which is downloadable from http://www.7-zip.org to extract the 7z file? It may work.

How are you extracting?
-
via explorer shell extensions
-
via PA main Gui
–- Classic View or Explorer View?
There have been problems when trying to extract folders (instead of files) using GUI Explorer view.
Note: Try PA main window in Classic View.
Then select the file(s) to be extracted. -
-
Thanks you.
I used main window and all the methods to extract,but because the content is empty,therefore the files will not come back.I think may be my files size is 1.4gb,too big to 7-zip,I tried 7-zip freeware,and used very long time and memory to archive until…,but found that the compressed files can not filled and burn into cd-rom(700mb capacity).(I expected it could )
I compressed it into mutiple files use fastest method so thaT I can burn it into cd rom.ok NOW.thanks for your help:Ricco and TBGBe.

Do you mean the 7z file is empty - so something went wrong with the compression?
@j5slng2d:I think may be my files size is 1.4gb,too big to 7-zip
No, apparently 1000GB is ok - but I don’t know anyone who has tested this :D
I have done 14GB with no problems.
@j5slng2d:I tried 7-zip freeware,and used very long time and memory to archive until…,but found that the compressed files can not filled and burn into cd-rom(700mb capacity).(I expected it could )
Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying - do you simply mean that the 7z archive file created was larger than 700MB?
You are correct, 7z format is very slow and very memory intensive - compared to the other formats.
@j5slng2d:I compressed it into mutiple files use fastest method so thaT I can burn it into cd rom.ok NOW.
Yes, if you need a limited size, multiple files (called spanning) is the way to go.
Glad you figured it out.
@j5slng2d:thanks for your help:Ricco and TBGBe.
You are welcome.
You might be interested in testing Zip format for archiving to CD. It is a lot quicker and also supports spanning. Just remember to activate both controls
- “Use Deflate64”
- “Make Large ZIP File (over 4 GB)”
If you backup to CD regularly, also look into PowerArchiver Tools / Backup Express Lite and Options / Configuration / Compression profiles.
-

ans:Yes.
I cannot compress my files in 7z?They are iso,img,cue,etc.Does this format have problems causing archiving problems?
I compress them from context menus “compress to 7-zip+option”
in option window . -
I cannot compress my files in 7z?They are iso,img,cue,etc.Does this format have problems causing archiving problems?
We need to be careful with terminology here…
Compress - to reduce in size.
Archive - the file created as a result of compressing.ISO files do not compress very well as they are already a type of archive.
However, a 7z archive file can be created which contains one or more iso files.So using 7z on a single file “example.iso” will produce an archive “example.7z”.
However, “example.7z” will be almost the same size as “example.iso” even using ultra.
Doing a quick test -
example.iso 437 340 160 bytes
example.7z 425 541 403 bytes
example.zip 425 994 116 bytes /just for comparison/So, there is a “problem” in terms of compressing, but there should not be a “problem” in terms of archiving.
-
Thanks you.
I done it now.(compress in 7-zip-ultra)you are right ,the size is not very much different than original size.
-
I’ve had numerous problems with PowerArchiver (even in the latest build) in regards to 7-Zip. You can’t compress folders with LOTS of files (many thousands) and also, when extracting 7-Zip files, PowerArchiver just quits with no error whatsoever.
I have raised these issues before, but like always, nothing ever gets done about this. I now just use the freeware 7-Zip utility. Its smaller, and much quicker, and actually does the job.

Problem was in older 7zip dll we are using. New 7zip dll will be featured in PA 9.5. Other than that, there is no fix for 7zip issues that you have experienced.
thanks,

When are we expecting PA 9.5 anyways? And what other new features will it have?

We were never able to reproduce your exact issue, but were able to reproduce issue from above after someone gave us enough information to reproduce it.
There was never problem of believing you or not, but sometimes without very detailed info we can not reporoduce the problem. In this case, issue was not the same on every computer so it was very hard to reproduce. If you check that thread, you can see that I have asked additional questions about the issue that you did not answer.
In any case, after someone else reported some other issue, we got enough info to have exactly the same configuration and reproduce the issue.
So, not to beat the dead horse, just wait few more days and check it out…

Yeah, no worries. I’ll check it out when its available and let you guys know.
PS: Speaking of memory problems, I did go in and change the dictionary size and other optios to use as much memory as possible to get the smallest file size. That might have something to do with it maybe???
Anways, can’t wait for 9.5.
What else is new in it btw?
