    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

    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?

    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.

      I’ve never used it before but I’ve been unable to get it working or to even show in my outlook 2007.
      what am I doing wrong guys please?

      just upgraded to 2009 pro but never used this plug-in before…can someone please help this silly old fart to configure correctly please.

      thank you.

      see below for my current outlook tabs…no sign of new tab for PA.

      currently using vista home premium

      I did by the way make sure outlook was closed before installing plug-in.

          I managed to find an older version of the plug-in…version 1.0.5.0 and it installed and showed the tab in Outlook 2007 as it’s supposed to but as you see it’s informing me I need to update.
          I then tried updating with the latest outlook plug-in and it removed the PA tab from outlook.

          can anyone please confirm this? or let me know if there is a fix please?

                  it defaulted to powerarchiver plugin folder…
                  I assumed it detected it correctly?
                  was I wrong in letting it install there?

                    nope, just asking so we can try to reproduce.

                    PAOP 2.03 was not changed for PA 2009, it is same release as before…

                      I’ve tried clean installations of PA and the outlook plugin and several reboots but all to no avail I’m afraid…strange how the early version installed correctly.

                        it has nothing to do with PA specifically, but with Outlook and PAOP integration. So no need to uninstall PA.

                        What other Outlook plugins do you have installed?

                        thanks

                          the only other program i have linked with outlook is a backup program specifically designed for outlook by microsoft to backup my ‘pst’ file.

                          i took the liberty of removing it though on my second attempt just in case it was conflicting with the plug-in.
                          the older version of the plug-in installed ok though with the backup program still installed.

                          hope that helps.

                                            I don’t know if this could be causing an issue or not. Just grasping at straws hoping to find something that might work for you.

                                            The other thought I have, could it be an anti-virus program not allowing the PAOP to install correctly?

                                            You have probably already thought of all this, just trying to toss some ideas out there.

                                              thanks buddy for continued help…
                                              I have UAC turned off and I use NOD32 anti-virus which I’m unable to stop intergrating into outlook 2007 without uninstalling it first.
                                              I am able to stop the antivirus monitoring my emails but it still remains intergrated into outlook.

                                              thanks again…hopefully the team here can find a solution over the coming weeks.

                                                  thanks for suggestion David…sorry to say it didn’t solve my problem but instead created me with a whole new one.
                                                  finally got it sorted after an hour or so but still no outlook plug-in I’m afraid.

                                                  thanks again.

                                                    I’ll take a stab at it here. Open Outlook. Goto the Tools menu and select Trust Center.

                                                    In the Trust Center click on Add-ins on the left side. Do you see an entry that reads ‘PAOP’ under ‘Active Application Add-ins’?

                                                    If not, then at the bottom of the windowyou’ll see ‘Manage: Com Add-ins’. Click the Go button. In the new window, click the Add button and browse to the location of ‘PAOUTLOOK.DLL’ and select it. Click Ok.

                                                    You may have to restart Outlook for the plugin to load.

                                                      thank you Marc for your efforts in getting the plug-in to work for me…however I’d already took to reinstalling vista onto a new hard drive and after the reinstallation of additional programs I now see that the program is now working correctly.

                                                      I realise this hasn’t given us an answer as to why it happened in the first place but I appreciate your efforts.

                                                      thanks again,

                                                      on a side note Marc…have your days as an Opera skinner finished for good these days?..I still use on occassion your last skin for opera after we communicated over it.

                                                        Well it was worth a try. Maybe that info will help someone else in the future. But Im glad you got it resolved.

                                                        Opera? I havent used it for a couple years now. Every now and then I test drive it to see whats new. Drop me an email some time,
