    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    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
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      Hi.

      I have huge problems using PA2007 / beta 4.
      As you find in the attached images, I will get a weird message at start and cannot end powerarchvier due to the second message.
      I already uninstalled completely.

      Regards
      Thorsten

        It would be helpful to describe the steps necessary to produce your problem (i.e. precisely what were you doing that led up to the errors?). What is your OS, etc.

          No Problem.
          It actually appears right after installation and at every start.
          First installation was an upgrade from Beta 3.
          I am running a Windows XP Multi-Language Edition with German Language-Pack running (this is also stated in my signature btw.).

          I just have to start PA for it to happen. It is reproduceable every time.
          I did a full uninstall and then tried to reinstall with no change :-(

              Shell extension is also not working at all.
              Neither extract to… nor Extract to folder.
              An open through double click will open powerarchiver, give the error on start and then will NOT load the double tabbed zip.
              I have to manually open the file through the menu.

                  yes, restarted a couple of times.
                  before install, after install, before deinst etc.

                  tabbed should have meant tapped :-)
                  just a typo.

                    Ok, now I am really stuck.
                    The beta3 installation does not work anymore.
                    It comes up with a requester showing the temp-directory as installation source.
                    I never got the PA to uninstall correctly, so I had to stop the process.
                    it looks like the MSI installation is buggy as it does not react on some situations.

                    I will try to clean my system if possible.

                      Maybe it helps.
                      Anytime the installation stucks, the _PASetup.exe takes nearly 100 % CPU and will never stop.

                          If you cant, because you deleted files from the folder, download Beta 4 again and run it… it will give you an option to Uninstall then.

                            Ok.
                            I have found the problem.
                            Somehow the permissions on the HKCU\Software\Powerarchiver was not set right.
                            Administrator had only read-access.
                            This leads to the problem, that the deinstall hangs, the start cannot write the settings, so that seems to be the message.

                            Kind Regards

                              Although I don’t know who set read-access rights, I have done some changes so this error message doesn’t show in the future even if the access is read-only.
