    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    TheAndyMacT

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue:

    No Icons for SFX-Archives

    Hello!

    I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
    I use the new version 22.00.11.

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D

    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .

    The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
    I know it has non standard quotes in it.

    However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.

    Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.

    Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.

    When will a fix be implemented?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB

    I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
    PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
    I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.

    This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.

    PA 2023 Toolbox - 22.00.09 - Remove archive encryption
    PA_FanP

    Win 11 64 bit

    I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).

    However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.

    What can I do to sort this out?

    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?
    A

    Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats? Its structure is similar to MS Office 2007 documents and Open Document Format. It is a ZIP Deflate archive with XML data and some JPG, and/or PNG pictures inside. Otherwise, if I try to compress .3MF it bearly makes it smaller unless I recompress .3MF to the Store setting then it makes it a lot smaller.
    Wish they all would move to 7zip ZSTD in the first place so that the optimized file size with FileOptimizer would be 50% of the ZIP Deflate version. And there would be no extra compression needed :)

    Also enhance ZIPX-compression support (for JPEG and MP3)
    A

    Hello!
    While I think the PA is a great format I have the problem that most of my contacts use WinZIP and thus can only process ZIPX when exchanging JPEG and MP3.
    Unfortunately PowerArchiver supports extraction of all ZIPX-archives, but when compressing to ZIPX the really useful JPEG- and MP3- and … algorithms are not supported.
    Please consider adding these ZIPX-compression-capabilities for better interoperability.
    Thanks!

    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    For example:
    Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
    Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
    However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
    I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.

      We had one german customer with similar complaint - it turned out permissions issue - it could not access remote drive when run from isolated account, but local folders worked fine… I am sure you tried compressing to local drives as we said before?

      @Keith:

      Is the PowerArchiver customized version of BitDefender older than the retail version of BitDefender? Are updates also older? Is it also an OEM version for PowerArchiver customers only?

      apsolutely not, it is latest version with latest updates, bitdefender updates more than 10 times per day…. if you have more questions, it would be better to open up another thread so we dont crowd this one as people will have hard time getting the info they care about.

      @spwolf:

      so what about colors that you preffer? send us your screenshots!

      Still playing with the formats, to be honest its great but doesnt work the way i imagined it to.

      For example I cant easily say all:
      “xls”, “csv”, “txt” is Yellow
      “Mpeg”, Jpeg" is Blue
      “SAP, MDB, DDB” is red.

      But again… im still playing around.

      One area i am trying to change is if a file is “csv” is doesnt class it as text on my system i would prefer it as a spreadsheet colour.

      I know csv’s are text formatted but as i deal with csv’s every day and associate them with spreadsheets or database’s i would like the ability to choose.

      I’ve just played with the presets, nothing major.

      Ow it would also be good if I could Apply a colour to Archive’s as currently it’s set as text in colour?

      It might just be that i dont understand the formating and settings… :)

      @alextorex:

      Hi I need this feature quite badly.
      For example, I need to delete archives immediately after a archive is extracted so I can free up space for extracting another archive.
      Also in case of creating archives I need to delete automatically files archived.
      I don’t see how some other tool/script can do this since it does not know when Power Archiver finished an archive job in queue.

      Please check “Extract Now” free software which supports this feature very well.

      As a suggestion you could consider adding ability to run scripts triggered by events (archive job finished) and pass parameters to script with name of archive extracted (in case of extraction) or name of folder archived (in case of archiving).
      I can understand that this feature can be quite problematic to implement but would give me some solution to write my own script.

      Extract Now is truly the solution that I’ve been looking for… thank you so much for this recommendation!

      Power Archive was such a good software to use for most things and for many years have been following its progress, but given that the most important thing we dont have these days is time, the feature that Extract Now gives for free is actually one of the top feature that I would have easily be willing to pay for… I’m so compelled to post this message because I feel strongly that this feature is a huge time saver and should be integrated into PA asap… the feature to ‘move’ original archive files ‘after’ its been extracted so that its not instantly deleted would have solved a lot of the concern people have of loosing something they’re not aware, it gives them the ability to double check that the extraction was successfull then they can just simply delete the ‘extracted archives’.

      If most of the feature from Extract now could be build into PA, Power Archiver will be indeed the archiving software that is truly powerful. Right now I can breath easier knowing that things are going to be better for me after I found Extract Now… a software I would have been willing to pay good money for, even if its free its worth supporting. Currently letting it go thru the whole folders of archives and doing stuff that I would have normally had to do manually that is, unzip and delete over and over again. (could have written a batch file in dos probably to take care of it, but couldnt be bothered)

      @Johnmoglas:

      Why don’t we try to get rid of the numbers?In my opinion Power Archiver neo/beta/Alpha sounds cooler then Power Archiver 2012 or 2013!!

      Using “Beta” “Alpha” are typical stages of development and you have them in every version developed.

      And technically we do PowerArchiver - “Profesional”, “Legacy” and “Toolbox”.

      Having Version numbers are really helpfull as it can give you an instant idea of the age of the product when you visit the site.

      Big thanks to all of our users. Many, many have upgraded to Pro version and liked its features.

      As promised, we are extending this special offer for next 2 weeks, it will end October 10th.

      Here is new thread created for that offer specifically:
      http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3358

      As PA 2009 is officially released, this thread will be closed. Translations are coming soon (all should come within month), and of course, this is not end of PA 2009. Those who have been with us for a long time now (10 years!!!) know that we will have at least 4-5 updates before PA 2010, a lot of them being feature updates so please continue writing on wish list and reporting bugs.

      We have some pretty big new features planned for next 6 months and you guys WILL LOVE THEM.

      Once again thanks everyone!

      And I was bang on about you mentioning Vinyl. :)

      Wasn’t difficult to guess, everyone knows that nothing beats the rich sound of vinyl. :cool:
      @Sir:

      @spwolf:

      please patchbeam to .50 and see if this behavior is now improved.

      thanks!

      Yes. Thanks. Zipping a folder but right clicking it and choosing compress to folder.zip now works without error messages.

      It seemed to take two goes with patchbeam to get me from .49 to .50 though. Or maybe the message that patchbeam has finished just appears long before it’s actually finished.

      Not as such, but as PowerArchiver is Windows only; it is assumed that most members will be using Windows.

      Yea, I tend to think of it as people or users not limited to Windows only – Helping users to get their computers up and running brought me to a lot of ‘places’ – need to learn them before I could give support –

      @Carlos-Martin-Moreno said in inno/windows hangs during C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe” /s "C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashlext64.dll:

      Experiencing the same thing when trying to deploy PA 2017 with SCCM.
      If i run the cmd file locally on the computer it runs the installation smoothly, but when io try to deploy it the deployment crashes.
      I have about 600computers that i need to deploy this program to so it would be nice if you could try to fix it.

      keep in mind that PA 2017 is Beta 1 still… by final (in May?) there will also be MSI installation that will be easier to use for business/enterprise installations.

      Hi sorry for the delay, only just seen it was updated.

      Have tested powarc120202.exe on Windows 8 *64 and can confirm that: that installer worked well. The application installed without any errors.
      The application works as it should. :)

      As such this issue I believe is now resolved and as such I believe this topic can be now marked as ‘Fixed’

      Many Thanks. :)

      @Tyjen007 said in Windows 10 pro - Explorer crashing:

      I’ve been checking event viewer, and have seen no crashes related to PASHLEXT64.DLL for nearly a week. I’m running PowerArchiver version 17.00.63 (03/17) 64bit and have recently upgraded to windows 10 1703 (Build 15063.rs2_release.170317-1834). What ever work that was done by ConeXware, seems to have addressed the crashing issue. Unless anything changes I would say, we can assume the issue (as far as my situation) is resolved. Thank you spwolf for your prompt responses.

      thank you for the feedback.

      Wow, if only Microsoft had you guys working for them maybe Windows 8 would have been better than the current train (metro) wreck….

      well, they did come far away from 8.00. And this fall update should probably end up being called 9.0 :-).

      I mean I bet I downloaded at least 15 GB of of Windows updates since the first official release. Maybe more.

      ok, so you WinXp x64 users - make sure PA installs under Program Files and not Program Files (x86). Windows will not let shell extensions to run from x86 folder!

      This is only valid for people who had already installed PA on the computer so PA’s installation will look at last installation folder. New installations will go into “64bit” Program files by default.

      thanks!

      @f16akias said in PowerArchiver shell extensions possibly crashing windows explorer.exe:

      @spwolf Well I can confirm that I have never again encountered any Bex64 errors while using 20.00.73 and now 20.10.02 versions. No bex in logs nor explorer.exe restart-refresh.

      @spwolf , @Mili , @ivan and the rest team thanks for solving this one, powerarchiver is again the best utility

      Thank you so much for your great bug report and all the version checks!

      x86 programs run perfectly (and start faster) on x64 system. Only thing not available is addressing over 2GB of memory.

      Since in 2017 we are adding our own format where you can use more than 5-6 GB of memory, realistically, when needed, we are also adding full x64 version of PA.

      Also, codecs built from grounds up might support faster instructions in x64, so with .pa format you will see up to 30% faster performance in x64 than in x86… for .zip, performance difference is nowhere as close, if any.

      Hi guys, I also complained about this a long time ago and with the new update v9.63.02 found that some of the files in use are added to ZIP correctly when highlighted and Right Mouse button-> Compress with Options is performed :)

      However some files are skipped when using the Drag-and-drop in PA or using the PA graphical user interface to Add to a new archive :confused:

      What is the difference ?

      there shouldnt be any difference, it was never added.
