    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    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
    TheAndyMacT

    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
    MerowingerM

    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?

    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?

    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 open PA, then try to rename a file (explorer view, anyway I’m in the rightmost panel, the one listing files), try to write into capital letters, but PA won’t accept them!
      It won’t write any upper-case letters!

      using 9.01.02

          fiy, it won’t accept capitals in any case, also when you try to paste some, copied from another app (say notepad).

            Does it work when adding files that are in capital letters.

            It is just an idea. :D

              I’m talking about renaming, mate, not adding…

              PA won’t allow you to type in capitals, that’s it.

                Using Rename via right click context menu.
                The only capitals that work are BHJNOPQWXY
                All others effect an action or are ignored.

                eg F opens Favorite Folders.

                    Unfortunately it did not fully.

                    If you activate the CAPS LOCK then PA will accept any character.

                    BUT, if you want to write capital letters via “shift+letter”, PA will just accept the following: BHJNOPQWXY. As for the others, nothing will happen.

                    :(

                      How exactly are you renaming these files? Ivan has told me previously that we will need to change our shortcuts (take out shift completly) however when I tested it, it works perfectly fine for renaming files inside archive, no matter what the font is…

                      So I am not positivly sure if it was “fixed” completly, but it works fine over here.

                      thanks,

                        @spwolf:

                        How exactly are you renaming these files?

                        I told you in my last post…

                        **Say I have a file named “file.exe”, and I want to rename it to “File.exe” through PA.
                        Then I click once on it so the name gets modifiable, delete the “f” (or select it), then I do “shift+f” to get the F written, but NO WAY!!
                        **
                        As I said, if I activate “caps lock” (the one directly above the “shift” button) and I push “f”, no problems, an “F” is written
                        (here I’m taking f/F as examples, it’s one of the letters not included in BHJNOPQWXY")

                        The fact is that, as I think everyone else in this world does, I get the caps via “shift+letter”, and PA doesn’t like that…

                        cheers, hope you can solve it promptly…that’s quite an annoying bug!

                              I opened a new thread, because the other one on the capital letters has a different subject, I believe…(But if mods like, of course they can merge the threads)

                              What happens, in the latest version (I can’t say with previous ones, as I never rename files via right click mouse menu), is that when you choose “rename” the files does not get ready to be renamed, nothing really happen.

                              To catch at once what I’m trying to explain, I made a video about that.

                              Download it HERE (right click, save with name), then uncompress it.

                              Thank you!

                                I believe this has been done on purpose, since we will have to do major reorganization of PowerArchiver shortcuts before we can make this work properly.

                                So 9.1 it is…. I am going to merge this thread with one…

                                    Yes - problem is that I was thinking about renaming files inside of an archive, which is what works. Reason Shift + Letter does not work in Explorer mode, while browsing the hard drive is that with those letters there are Shift shortcuts, so we have to remove those first or figure the way to not activate them when explorer component is renaming things, which I doubt we can do.

                                    So we have to spend a lot of time on it and we have left it for 9.1, when other explorer enhancements are coming as well.

                                    thanks,
