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.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
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?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

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).
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.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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?
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.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.

GUI Bugs: in Classic Toolbar mode
-
When selecting either LongHorn or MyPA skin then clicking on Default Classic skin, the PA title bar disappears
Steps:
1. From modern toolbar, Click Options –> Interface --> Classic Toolbar
2. Click Options --> Select Skin --> LongHorn
3. Click Options --> Select Skin --> Default Classic
4. Notice that the title bar is gone.
5. Exit and relaunch PA (or switch to Modern Toolbar)
6. Repeat above for MyPA skinA second issue is that when switching from either Modern blue or Modern silver, the Help button retains the previous color until you mouse-over.
Windows XP SP2

A second issue is that when switching from either Modern blue or Modern silver, the Help button retains the previous color until you mouse-over.
Windows XP SP2Using PA07 RC1 V10, I do not experience the same issue! i did in the Beta’s!
The only one I can confirm is that when selecting from Default Silver or Devault Blue (the new ribbon look) to Default Classic PA Closes its self and doesnt relaunch! the user then has to manualy open PA again to see the changed skin!
-
we will check it out for 10.01, thanks
-
I can confirm this. I choose to go to Default classic, then click on myPA. Looking at the skins menu, it shows both selected/checked. Trying to revert to the default classic by clicking on it causes the title bar to disappear but will show if you exit and reopen the application or change skins again.
-
In addition: after a switch from ribbon to the classic pulldownmenu under win98, PA1000 started up with an ‘External exception C000001D’.
-
I confirm the missing Title Bar problem with Version 10.00.36 on XP SP2.

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

Yeah it’s gone now (XP SP2 I forgot to mention that earlier). The force unloading/restarting of the application takes care of it. Problems with the skinning engine?
There is also an issue now (10.00.39) when a modern skin (Default Blue) is selected then choose the smoothlime - it doesn’t skin everything as it should. Even after a restart of the application it is still not skinned properly. The main window remains “default blue” style but the tips window, favorites window, etc gets the “smoothlime” styling.
EDIT: This happens when choosing “smoothvista” too. Also resizing the window creates major flicker. While this isn’t really a huge issue it is distracting. Maybe I never noticed it before, or is it only a recent occurence? I’ll install the older editions and see.
EDIT 2: The flickering is much less noticeable and the main window’s scrollbars aren’t problematic in the older 9.64.03 edition. (the bottom scrollbar is persistent in the newer editions and the vertical scrollbar flickers on/off on resize.) Hopefully the bugs will get worked out soon, until then I’ll regress to 9.64.03 :(

thats how it works, we will update web skins to force you into the classic mode automatically later on this week (hopefully)…
