    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
    MerowingerM

    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?

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

    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?

    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09

    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.

      Hi,

      I’m a german user of PA2005 and I want to use the new version 2006. But there is a problem: It says that my key is wrong in PA 2006?!

      What can I do? Or, what I have to do?

        I think you have to go to http://www.conexware.com/shop/ and log in.
        Click on the “upgrade” icon to retrieve a new code by e-mail.

            Indeed, all previous PA orders get International keys as well, so you just need to login to get your keys.

            thanks!!!

                  Two options:-
                  a) If your email address is still valid - use the “Lost Your Password” query :D
                  b) If not, send email to support (at) conexware.com giving your registration details.

                        I’ve sent in a couple of requests to try and get access so that I can get my new registration code, but nothing has been sent back yet. I sent one when we got the notice that a new version would be out soon, and then again this past weekend.

                        How long does it generally take to get a response with login/pw information?

                            I did that, twice. My email address has changed since my original order, but I did include a copy of the original confirmation email showing my previous email address along with my current email address.

                            Guess I just have to wait a little longer…

                                Just to be 100% certain.

                                If the email address you used when registering PowerArchiver is no longer valid, then you cannot contact Conexware via the Account / Shop page because the auto-response will still go to the “old” address!

                                You should complete the online support request form { or send an email (from your correct address) to support (at) conexware.com} giving your original registration details and clarifying that your email address has changed.

                                            I have exactly the same problem.
                                            I have a very old lifetime key that I can’t use with the new version. I even still have the original mail where Drazen sent the original key.

                                            However i couldn’t login because my email-address since then has changed.

                                            The first time I mailed to the customer support I got a mail like ‘no problem, send us your private data and we will create a new account for you’.
                                            I did that - however I never got an answer nor am I able to request my login data by that email (that I put in my answer mail) over the website.

                                            Now comes the interesting part:

                                            After that I mailed about 6 times to the customer support. I don’t get an answer at all. After the 2nd time I deactivated all my spam filters since I was suspecting that any answer mail got stuck. Nothing.

                                            I was about to convince my company with 300 people with use Powerarchiver instead of Winzip. Since it offers alot more feature with the same interface - but with this current support behaviour I am stuck at the moment.

                                            So please… Dear support people… if you read this - please help! You can contact me using this board for example. I checked that mail coming from this board is going through (I could not have registered otherwise)
