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.

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.

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

Where are various settings store . . . e.g. ftp, etc.

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. -

Vista Drag and Drop
-
I’ve noticed in PA2007b5 when trying to drag and drop a file from the archive to the Windows desktop, it gives you the “not-allowed” cursor.
If you try a second time, it will work fine.
Also, may I recommend the DevExpress VCL components. Their new ribbon control looks perfect and gives glass and all that.
Thanks :P
-
just me?
-
try b6 and let us know… devex is for .Net, and their Delphi version isnt out yet and wont support glass on the ribbon…
-
we use old devexpress vcl stuff in our delphi applications :) but i didn’t realize the haven’t updated ExpressBars vcl yet.
When are you gonna redo PA in C# like every other delphi shop is doing? :P hehehehe

5 years after Borland closes shop? :-)
-
technically they did :P what’s their new name now for ide’s? codegear or something? my CTO wrote them a pretty nasty letter. hehe
anyhow, same problem exists in b6.
If you drag a file from the archive to the desktop i get the “No-no” cursor. When I let go of the mouse button it goes back to normal, then when i highlight over the PA window, it’s back to the “No-no” cursor. A second attempt at dragging to the desktop is successful.
-
same problem in beta 7
open an archive, select a file and start to drag it. instantly you get the denied cursor. try it again and it works fine.
-
hate to be a bastard but it’s not fixed in beta 8 either.
i do a lot of dragging and dropping from archives during the day. any chance of this one getting fixed?
-
same in b9…
is this on your radar to fix? can you reproduce it?
-
The issue I have is that when I drag and drop in Vista, it goes through the actions of extracting but nothing appears in the folder I’m dragging to. I’m using b9, and it is reproducible

i’ve seen that on XP, too.
-
i’ve seen that on XP, too.
well in XP it works fine in general, so please report specific situation (there are hundreds of them possible). It is hard to troubleshoot if it works fine on general document…
-
oh, this problem i haven’t seen on XP…
the problem where you will drag and drop a bunch of files to the desktop or an explorer window. it goes through the motions of extracting everything, but nothing shows up in the window you dragged it to, and seemigly it’s gone… almost like it never copies from a temp folder or something… i haven’t reproduced that one on Vista yet since I’m having the problem that this whole thread is about :)

we will be checking it out over the weekend and I will let you know how it goes…

does that mean it may have been fixed in 10, or post beta 10?
no change in b10 :)
-
please check with RC1… thanks
-
no change unfortunatley.
edit: correction. slight change.
now, when dragging to the desktop you still get the ‘don’t allow’ cursor, but when you drop it, it kind of hangs on that cursor for a while, then it actually does extract it to the desktop.
better than previous builds, but still not quite right.
are you able to reproduce this on your vista copy?
-
anything i can supply you with to help get this resolved before the final?
-
actually, this does appear to be a vista issue, but something that can be fixed…

i think that will explain the issue pretty well. i might try and put together a test app tomorrow.

just wrote a quick test app in delphi 6 doing nothing special. works fine. must be something PA is doing.

we couldnt figure it out for the final, but we will check it again for 10.01… Sorry!
-
no worries. just don’t let it fall off the radar and i’m happy.
also, i’m a delphi developer (it’s my job) if you need any help with it at all.

Download latest version (english only) via website or via web update and see if this issue has been fixed.
thanks,

YAY! it’s fixed!
