    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

    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.

      Seems that PowerArchiver 9.00.33 cannot extract from http://cermics.enpc.fr/theses/94/these-xiaolan-zhang.ps.gz

      Though GSView 4.6 can directly open a ps.gz file, it’s still inconvenient if one wants to jump forward or backward inside the ps.gz document.

          The exact error message is

          " is not a valid integer value.

          This message leads by one double quote and doesn’t contain any specific number inside. After dismissing the error message box, the status bar remains displaying “Reading folder …” and the PA window stops response and will produce a sound when you click inside it.

          My PA 9.00.33 is an unregistered version. I store the above mentioned file in “My Documents\My Downloads” (a path containing spaces). My OS is XP SP1 with all the latest patches applied.

          Seems strange though. It might not be a generic problem for all.

              Downloaded that file and tried with 9.00.35 (Win2k).

              Explorer Shell “Extract to these-xiaolan-zhang.ps”

              • creates the directory but no files are extracted and no errors reported.

              Double Click in explorer (launching PA) give the errors described by jacqueslichn.
              See GZ Error / GZ Reading.

              Note: When clicking the OK button on the error dialogue, PA hangs - no response to mouse/keyboard (just system beeps) and had to be closed with Task Manager.

              However, the cause of the error was an incorrect download (for some reason it downloaded as 1.8MB the first time instead of 623kB).
              After re-downloading the file - no errors occurred.

              The error message / handling could be improved :p

                Note to jacqueslichn

                The download error is caused by incorrect coding of that Webpage/Server.
                You may wish to inform the Webmaster of the school (I don’t speak/write French).

                He’d need to change things so the files (that ends in *.gz) are identified as the type for a gzipped file.

                  Tell me about it …

                  I also downloaded the file, can extract it from context menu, but if I doubleclick it and drag the file from the PA window into explorer window ( or the desktop ), nothing happens.

                  I use Win2003-enterprise.

                  Does dragging files from PA into explorer work for others at all ?
                  I just reported a drag-problem for tar.bz2 files …

                    Thanks to all, you’re so nice. I use Opera 7.54. It could be that IE can handle the MIME correctly, while Opera still has some flaw.

                      MS noticed that 88% of webmaster are clueless and can’t set up their web servers for correct MIME handling, so they built into IE extra code to try and guess the correct MIME type ( because the www server send a wrong one ).

                      It is a web site configuration problem. -> talk to the webmaster

                        I corrected the bug you had with corrupted archive - now it will display error message saying that archive is corrupt when opening .gz file directly from PowerArchiver.

                        Also the bug with drag&drop-ing to Windows Explorer will be fixed in next release!

                          Actually, the problem is the exact opposite.
                          Opera does what the Server is requesting should be done with the file.
                          I.E. does not!

                          The fact that, in this case, the Server has an error and thus I.E. ignoring it ends up with the “intended” outcome is accidental.

                          However, that has nothing to do with PA and is not relevant to this forum.

                            Judging from my overall experience with Opera, I think it would be appropriate to describe IE as a monolithic browser, though Opera is still slightly buggy with its page rendering algorithm (It cannot render mail.yahoo.com correctly). Of course this post is not related to PA at all. Just a tip. :rolleyes:
