    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?

    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?

    However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !

      I’m creating an archive with extension .tar.gz

      PA is creating additional paths in the archive, that is, creating a path that is NOT on the local system. The pathnames, in all cases, are being named with a backslash.

      It appears to be happening for all paths, where there are no files within that path.

      This is a problem I reported in April this year, see this post

      If I use PACL to examine the archive, it reports the additional paths, for example …

      pathname1\pathname2\pathname3\pathname4\
      0 Tarred 0% 0 04/12/2007 20:29:34 00001d73

      If I use 7-Zip or PEAZIP to open the archive created by PA, they both show the additional paths in the archive.

      Any chance of this being fixed please ??

          @spwolf:

          It is happening to all paths that have no files.

          There were 3 paths that had no files, and PA created the archive with 3 additional paths, each path underneath those three, and they were all named backslash.

          I’m sure it is a different problem to the “length” problem.

          The length problem was occurring when extracting (uncompressing) a tar.gz, and this problem is happening when an archive is being created.

          Besides, I just checked one of those paths, and it was only 49 chars (path+filename).

          This would be easy to replicate, just create 2 paths, one with files in it, and one without files, then create an archive of tar.gz
