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!

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.

Creating a backup. Missing Folder, Documents and Settings\****\Application Data
-
Using latest version of PA version 10.10.10 but I don’t know in what version this difference appeared.
I have had a backup script running at least a couple of years and this only came to light after a fresh install of Windows XP.
In the original script I have folders from C:\Documents and Settings\My user name\Application Data (a hidden folder as I’m sure you know) included, as some software I use insists on creating folders there of which I like to keep a backup.
After my fresh install of XP and programs I found that another one of them now puts a folder in this directory (my email program) and so I need that to be included in my backup as that is where all my email is.
But for some reason now when I go to add a folder to my backup through Power Archiver the C:\Documents and Settings\My user name\Application Data folder is not shown so I cannot browse it to find the folder I need to add it to my backup. :eek:
If I just want to add a file it appears then (using a different explore window of course) but that’s not much use to me.
You can try it yourself by creating a new backup/add folder and just try and find that folder to add to it.
Please tell me how to get back this function.

so hidden folder is not shown in backup file/folders list, so you can not select it?

Just the backup folders list Spywolf. It appears under the files list. Want a screenshot ?
I would probably never have noticed if it had not been for the fresh install of windows.

Here are screen shots anyway.

Yes it looks like you have ‘Show hidden files and folders’ enabled in Folder Options already so it does look like a problem with PA although I haven’t confirmed it here.
As a temporary workaround while that’s being sorted out, try copying the folder path from Windows Explorer and pasting it in the field at the top of your ‘Add folder’ window and clicking the little arrow button to the right. I think it should take you to that location, if the location does indeed exist.

Yep when I first noticed it I thought that I had just forgotten to enable Show hidden files and folders. But I had changed it already.

OK that works and will do for a workaround for now.

Just to confuse - it works for me.
The Application Data Folder (and its subfolders) is displayed and available.

Today I have reinstalled XP Pro on my other PC (yes too much time on my hands).
Once again PA 10.10 is not showing hidden folders.
