    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).

    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:

    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?

    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.

      I go into Windows Explorer (on xp pro machine) and click “new”! Then i have the option " New PowerArchiver RAR File"! But PA cant create rar files, can it??
      When i create one, there is a rar file with 0 kB and when i open it there is an error!

      Shortly: In the Widows Explorer Shell there is an option to create rar files with PA! But PA cant create rar! So its a BUUUUUUUUUG!

      Please try it yourself…get sure of this!

            When I’ve tried to reproduce, I can make a ZIP file, but no choice for a RAR file. PA does not currently support the creation of RAR files, only the extraction of them.

              That’s weird!

              You didn’t mess up with the registry did u?

              Look what you have at:
              HKEY_USERS*xxyourcodexx\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\ShellNew*

              I’d be interested in the hex values of PA’s voice…

              if you wanted a “PowerArchiver RAR File” voice, you registry value should be as follows:
              “PowerArchiver RAR File”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,50,00,

                Hmph, I remember this from before - problem is in Windows, and the fact that you associated PA with RAR. I will ask Ivan to clarify what exactly is the deal is - but as much as I remember - basically WinRAR put an entry there to create new RAR file and since RAR’s are now handled by PA, Windows uses PA’s description for RAR file and writes it in there automatically.

                I dont see what we can do really - since we certainly wont delete WinRar’s entries in registry…

                  Here is what happends:

                  WinRAR creates a registry entry for creating empty-RAR file. Then when you start PowerArchiver it associates with RAR files (because PowerArchiver can extract RAR files). So from this moemnt, all RAR files are called “PowerArchiver RAR file” and when you choose “New” -> “PowerArchiver RAR file”, Windows will use ShellNew key created with WinRAR but call it “PowerArchiver RAR file” since .RAR files are associtated with PowerArchiver.

                  There is nothing we can do here - we cannot create RAR files, but still cannot delete registry keys created by other archive utilties.

                  If you often create RAR archives, then I would suggest you to disable RAR file assciation by PowerArchiver and re-enable it by WinRAR.
