    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    T

    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
    T

    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
    M

    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

    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
    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.

      Sorry for the vagueness but unfortunately i cannot consistently reproduce this bug.

      I uninstalled the old 2006 version and did a clean install of 2007.

      I use the classic interface (not the new one).
      I get a delay when closing some arhives. For example i hit the X at the corner of the window with an archive open and the place where the archive contents are displayed goes blank because the file is closed but the PA window persists for about 3 or 4 seconds. It happens with any archive type but unfortunately NOT all the time. Had it happen to both zip and 7z and once with a rar archive i think.

      It never does it if i just open PA with no archives (just start and close the program itself).

      My system spec:

      Windows XP SP2
      P4 3.2E
      1gig DDR ram
      1x 120 gb HD
      1x 200 gb HD

      P.S. Forgot to mention that i have the new queue thing disabled (i don’t want an extra icon cluttering my system tray :( )

      Hope you guys find the bug :)

            i had this problem with some programs and i found that it was a internet explorer bug.

            do u have any programs open when u exit pa

            any programs installed recently

            have you checked for spywrae and virus.

            there is a way to delay programs exiting from within windows though i’m not totally shaw how it works.

              I see this problem too (PA 2007 Beta 2).

              The action that triggers it for me is opening a file inside a zip from PA (for example doubleclicking on a Word doc or .MSI setup file) from within PA.

              If I just extract the file the delay at shutdown does not happen; I have to actually open the file from within PA.

              Explorer or Classic view have no effect on this.

                You got it.

                Yes this is how the bug is reproduced.
                If you run ANY file even a txt file by double clicking you get the delay when closing PA.

                    I hope the issue should be fixed in Beta 3. Not sure, but after some changes that might make problems, doesn’t happend.
