    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).

    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?

    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

    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.

      During my installation of PA 2007 I received a Blue Screen referencing the fvevol.sys module.

      Since then, my computer will crash every few days with the same error… :(

      Has anyone else had this problem?
      Is this a know issue with some versions of PA?

      I enjoy using PA over other software and am very interested in getting this fixed…

      Thank you in advance for any help…

        it runs fine here… I would suppose it is some kind of hardware issue on the computer… Do you know what is fvevol.sys actually?

        What exactly do you do when it crashses? (outside of installation).

        thanks,

          The fvevol.sys is the BitLocker Drive Encryption Filter Driver.
          When I receive the blue screen, all I do is reboot and it seems to hold for awhile…

          I do not know if it is related to PA 2007 or not, It was when I was installing it that I ran into the first blue screen, so that kinda stuck in my head…

            try installing 10.01 and see if it happens then. There shouldnt be any issues since bitlocker encryption should be completly transparent to applications, there is nothing for us to do.

                There is also an Vista compatibility update for many applications that was released today, you might want to download it via Windows Update, if you have not before.

                It might help.

                    and you have been receiving only after that? It could be telling. You can check your Windows updates and see if it was already installed, and uninstall it possibly.

                      spwolf,

                      I have upgraded to the latest version.

                      However, I think I figured it out… It actually was a coinsidence that when I was installing PA and when the updates were installing, my disk defrag was running. I think when that is running and a reboot is done without stopping it first causes the BSOD…

                      I will keep a close eye on this to see if these are the facts……

                      Thanks for your help and advise…

                      Cheers =)

                        I am glad you got it figured, althought it should not happen still.

                        What defrag are you running? Included with Vista or 3rd party?

                        You might want to report it to their support, so it gets fixed, even if eventually. BSOD should really not happen with Vista.

                        thanks!

                          I am running the included Defrag. I can not call support on this since I have purchased an OEM version. Is there somewhere else I can post this for them to see? I have been sending my problem reports to them for analysis.

                            Hi,

                            You will need to contact the following:

                            1. If Vista came Pre-installed, then you would contact the system vendor.
                            2. If you purchased an OEM version of Vista not with a PC then you cannot contact anyone for support. However, you can try the Microsoft Forums and Community Message Boards for User-To-User support.

                            If you were refering to the .dmp files created on error, try attaching them here, or emailing to me at the email in my profile, and I will see if I can help you by reading it and see what is causing problems.

                            Thanks, Andrew Robinson.
