    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).

    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

    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.

      For the first time ever I am having a problem downloading the latest update. I currently have v9.63.02. I have tried a number of times from the website and also from within PowerArchiver with and without the firewall on. It seems to download but when I try to install I always get a message that “The setup files are corrupt…”

      What should I do?

      Thanks,

          Blair,

          If you ever have problems downloading files and they are coming across as currupt this usually results in;

          Firewall
          Antivirus
          Spyware Checkers
          ISP Downtime
          Server Problems
          Wireless Downtime during download.
          Site server glitch.

          The best way to overcome these areas is by downloading a Download Manager such as;

          DAP “Download Manager”
          LeechGet 2006 etc

          This should help and both are available free

            hi,

            seems as if bad download got cached at your ISP. Best bet is to use some kind of download manager to download and it will work great.

            thanks!

                Also you might try clearing the browser’s cache (the “Tools/Internet Options…/Delete Files…” button in IE 6).

                  Thanks for the help!!!

                  I download things successfully all the time without difficulty through MSN so I am not sure what is happening here.

                  I do not have Zone Alarm on my system. I use MSN 9 but the biggest change of late has been upgrading to IE 7. I have also recently bought into “Windows Live One Care” for Firewall, Antivirus, Spyware Checking etc.

                  IT FINALLY DOWNLOADED

                  I had been trying to download through MSN many many times but it never got up to 1M. I decided to try through IE7 and it worked (without turning off firewall etc.) but not the first time. It finally downloaded after the third attempts and 2 false readings of ± 2M then almost 3M.

                  Thanks for the mention of the download managers. I will hold those site locations on standby. It seems unfortunate to have to have a third party software to do such work. Others must not have the same problem, not sure why I did for it never happened before. If anyone else does have the problem may the info here will help.

                  Thanks again!!!

                    I’ve found DAP has aquired very annoying bugs since about V7.5 and I’ll be abandoning it forever as soon as I find something else which suits me.
