Shell Extension - Archive Converter

Charles Botz

The shell extension command to convert an archive is broken. :rolleyes:

spwolf

you mean it does not add the file to the converter file list?

Yes I see that too - plus I get a small window with the text “I/O error 103” (Uses PA skin but has no title - just an OK button).
However, BH file was created
This was Zip to BH conversion.

Then tried with “Tar.gz” to “Zip”
This gives “I/O error 104” and no Zip file is created.

Note: the error window appears when PA deletes the temp directory.

Yes, Spwolf, that’s exactly what I’m saying. It does not add the file to the list like it did before. And, it’s annoying.

Hello Terry! It’s been a while……

Yes, I’m seeing the same problem too. Convert from the context menu has “Ok” grayed out. I can convert archives that I open with PA normally, but, I use the context menu quite often.

please try latest version from the website…

thanks,

All OK in PA 9.63.02

All is still not well with PA v9.6.3.2. When trying to convert an archive I get the following error on the first try:```
Faulting application powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, faulting module powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, fault address 0x00001d62.

spwolf

please outline step by step how are you converting it and what you are converting…

On the second try, it is successful.

At which point in the process?
Convert from what to what?
Does the original (from) archive open / extract OK with P.A. ?
Enough working disk space (temp directory) ?

Edit: Beaten by Spwolf - must type faster…

Ignore - I misread this bit.

Something must have gone awry with my system when I posted that. Since that time, I’ve been unable to reproduce the error. It may have had something to do with having the U3 version installed previously, but more testing is needed.
