    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
    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.

          While I’m not a “Power User” because I don’t post on these forums much I have been a PowerArchiver user for years and am very tech savvy. PowerArchiver is also one of the programs I use every single day multiple times a day….so if you can overlook my forum title I’d make a great tester for you.

          I’ve beta-tested many versions of Windows (Win 98, 98 SE, Win2K, etc.) as well as more fun beta testing testing opportunities like Diablo II & Total Annihilation - my name is even in the TA manual.

          Tech specs if you’ve read this far:
          Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
          Intel i7 930
          Radeon 5850
          6 GB DDR3

          I run my system hard, too…40 tabs open in Firefox & a full taskbar of 15-20 programs running at all times is the norm for me so if you need ‘stress testing’ I may be your guy.

          And oh yeah…I’ve got a fervent desire for PowerArchiver to become even better than it already is. My friends are already tired of me telling them how superior it is to what they are using & tired of me proving it to them. ;D

              Hi, If possible please could you add me to the alpha testers.

              I generally test a lot of betas, enjoy using such products and informing the devs of any issues I find.

              I have Windows 7 *64 on my main PC, testing PC, and Windows 7 *86 on my testing laptop and also use Sun VM.

              Many Thanks.

                meh….I don’t like to create huge essays…all they do is reassure my extreme awesomeness and make others jealous :cool:

                Long story short, I was a betatester for Battlefield 2142 and Universe at War. I’m extremely nick-picky, and will make comments about anything no matter how small the problem is. I’m a GUI freak, also.

                Did I mention I’m also a Professional license owner?

                                                                          Many Thanks.

                                                                            People would like to know as the more camatible the format ids the better chance people will use it

                                                                              I’m unsure personally, but in my mind i think the ability to Read PAF format will be made available to all PA Versions. But possibly writing PAF would be a pro/toolbox advantage only.

                                                                              Again, this is for PA to confirm.

                                                                                are they going down the rar route

                                                                                  But, the only ones who know are the owners and they are rather hush hush about things :D im sure all will be come clear :)

                                                                                        The alpha team’s a pritty tight team to get into. But, one way to show your interested is to start using the forums.

                                                                                        Give the Developers & Alpha team a feel for your idea’s on ways to improve powerarchiver and it’s plugins.

                                                                                        Not to mention identify Bugs and remember to make it step by step with potential pictures to help the team try and replicate that sinario.

                                                                                        Its also advised you list your primary PC spec’s, you will notice the alpha team do this and other Beta public testers.

                                                                                        If you show your desire to help conexware make their software better! then come the next alpha vote im sure you will be considered.

                                                                                          Itel Core i7-2630QM (2 GHz Quad Core)

                                                                                          Windows 7 Professional with Windows 8 Release Preview dual-boot

                                                                                            Great!,

                                                                                            Now it’s the norm to keep your “primary” system specs on the forum as a signature.

                                                                                            Obviosly, if you are like me you may have 1 work system and one home. Just use the PC that you use the most and have admin rights too.

                                                                                            Because you may be asked by the dev team or you yourself may want to change settings to see if it resolves an issue at some point.

                                                                                            Other than that, write your posts clearly. if you have any ideas that you have about powerarchiver tools, features or even new requests please post them.

                                                                                            If you feel it’s for the dev team only which can happen, just email them via the support page.

                                                                                            Your a programmer, so you are more than aware that at Alpha “prealpha” you are accessing potential unreliable software and even more importantly a glimse into the future of the program.

                                                                                            So it takes time for the dev team to trust a person to reach alpha level as you can fully understand.

                                                                                            We obviosly dont want the competitors to get wind of any new features in the testing motion before it’s offical.

                                                                                            ;) If you are a PA fan, you will remember the time we brought out the 1st ever archive tool with ribbon interface.

                                                                                            Winzip soon followed… and in our opinion they still cant get it rite :D

                                                                                            Ow, and speak your mind! if you feel pasionate about something dont give up but explain why. I still remember arguing the toss over why PA should have FTP! and adjustments to the way it looks or works in certain aspects and many of them are still in thought and some are in the program and to me thats the rewarding aspect.

                                                                                            hope this all make sense and welcome!

                                                                                            PS: Remember, there is 2012 Beta 2 out now so start testing buddy!
