    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?

    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.

      Ok I have a small 1Mb ISO (4 XML logs for MBAM) compressed called “Test.7z” that also doesn’t display contents in PA which was created with ImgBurn 2.5.8.0.

      Please see what you can make of it?

          Just re-created the same ISO with the same files as “ISO9660\Joliet” instead of “UDF” and PowerArchiver has no problem displaying the files at all!

          PowerArchiver has problems with UDF 2.01 ISO’s created by ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 it would seem.

          Update, no problems with UDF 1.02 ISO’s.

          Update, no problems with UDF 1.50 ISO’s.

          Update, problems with UDF 2.00, 2.50 and 2.60 ISO’s.

              I’m sorry to do this to you but this is still an issue with PA 2016 RC2 build 50.

              This ISO in screenshot opens fine in WinRAR 5.30 x64 but in PA there is nothing at all.

                  ISO types:
                  ISO 9660 Juliet most works (just found one that doesn’t)
                  UDF 1.x works
                  UDF 2.x doesn’t work

                  I think it depends on the type of ISO and what app created it, IMGBurn in this case.

                      would you or your friend be able to send us an .img/.iso file that does not work as described above?

                      Just tested creating and ISO and and IMG via IMGBurn, both opened fine in latest PA 16.03.01.

                      Can you send us some of the files you are using to create the IMG/ISO that does not work in PA?
                      We’ll try with those.

                      You can send to support at conexware dot com

                        Hi Mili.

                        The files are very big, nearly 2.5GB, so it is not very easy to send them.

                        I send my friend in Australia an email so that he try it again with the iso file.
                        Maybe it will work than.

                          one suggestion that could help is send them the file via dvd post wise.

                          second suggestion would be to look at the type of iso that has been created. Try a different setting to produce another iso that powerarchiver can read then we can highlight a seting or iso format that powerarvchiver needs updating/ adding.

                          What iso format is being created? that’s the question.
