See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Problems with backup up network disk
-
I am trying to back up a network disk (Samba) to my XP machine. It is about
1 Gb, 80,000 files, about 10 directory levels max.If I try to schedule a backup job (to zip) using PA, it runs, but only archives about 15% of it all. No error messages. If I try to directly zip from PA, using deflate 64, it does much the same thing. There does not seem to be anything special where it stops.
If I back up the drive using the pacomp command line utility, I do not get errors, and it seems to put all or almost all files in the archive. paext and info-zip unzip do not seem to see anything wrong with this archive, and the number of files is in the ballpark.
However, if I open the same archive with PA, it only sees about 15% of the files and storage. No error messages. If I run test from the menu, it finds no errors, though it still only sees about 15%.
I tried earlier to back this drive up with zipbackup, which seemed to work, but zipbackup could not read the archive it had created, and info-zip said it was bad, though it could read at least some of it. When I opened this same archive in PA, PA did not see anything wrong with it, and apparently saw all 80,000 files.
What is going on here? It is self-evident from the archive sizes that the backups created within PA are incomplete, but is there any way to check whether the one created by pacomp is? Paexp test sees no
problems. -
Hi,
What version of PA are you using? PACL does not support extended zip specs, so it wont be fine for sure.

Hi,

I use the latest version of PA and PACL, downloaded wednesday. I did some more poking around and think I now have a good idea what is going on.
The PACL command line utilities seem to handle zipping and unzipping this disk fine, with two minor problems that you may want to look at:
- pacomp.exe with the -w switch will
backup hidden files, but it does not back up hidden folders. I have to explicitly add the hidden directory names to the command line to get them backed up, like
PACOMP -r -w …. Z:*.* Z:.mutt*.*
-
paext.exe with the -l switch will also redirect the prompt whether or not to overwrite files to the log file. Of course this prompt must still go to the terminal, the file is not going to answer. Or at least note into manual.txt that an overwrite option should be specified.
-
The problem with PA seems to have been that I had a subfolder folder “MD”, as well as a subfolder “md” in the same folder. This is perfectly OK under Unix, but not possible under Windows. Unix-aware utilities like info-zip, and also pacomp, have no issue with that, but my guess is that both zipbackup and PA use a Windows Explorer engine to process the files and that the engine crashes on it without returning an error code. In any case, after I renamed one of the two subfolders, I was able to make a correct backup from PA (or rather from the context menu,) using deflate 64.
My idea is to stick with pacomp, because it is faster than PA, but should I worry that I have more than 65,000 files? I expanded all files with paext and compared them to the orginals (PC Magazine’s Window Match will actually do 80,000 files; I was surprised) and there were no differences. Will there be a warning if a limit is exceeded?

- pacomp.exe with the -w switch will
-
Yeah, I definetly would not do anything out of zip specs with PACL.
There will be no error since the whole engine does not understand anything out of spec.Using PA 2006 will be much safer. I suggest that you disable deflate 64, since it is only extra compression strenght (zip 4.5 compatible “unlimited” archive will be created anyway), and PA 2006 should be quite fast actually, even possibly faster than PACL.

Thanks, I was indeed thinking that deflate was needed to get the 4.5. Since the pbs script seems to run fine from a batch file, I will use that then. Also, PA has no problems with the hidden directories.
