    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    TheAndyMacT

    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
    MerowingerM

    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?

    Missing Icons

    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.

        I run windows XP Pro SP2 with the latest updates as of 2 weeks ago and installed the same PA Version but did not experience this issue??

        Did you do an upgrade or a clean install??

        try uninstalling the program, then delete the PowerArchiver Folder in Program Files. Reboot and re-install then to be safe restart again!

        If it still happens then send an error report to PowerArchiver Support.

          What archive format?

            My mistake on the empty archive: it’s open PA without an archive loaded.

            It was a clean install after a uninstallation of PA 10.2 Beta 1.

            I already tried the reinstall/reboot Sir Richard suggested. Same problem.

              How odd?

              If not already try this then (only if you know the registry)

              1. Uninstall PowerArchiver 2006/07
              2. Delete “Program Files/PowerArchiver” Folder
              3. Delete Registry Link

              HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver\

              then… if you have any registry cleaning software such as CCleaner or tune-up etc… do a full registry clean!

              Restart then re-install…

              If it still continues then it must be a fault with the program or something on your system is causing a conflict.

                Tried the procedure but that did not help
                However, I have more information:
                the crash occurs only with the classic skin, not with the ribbon interface.
                The Default blue skin works nicely.
                I though it may have been Windowblinds causing the problem. I unloaded Windowblinds and run PA: with the Windows classic style, PA does not crash, with the Windows XP style, PA crashes.

                That’s really odd.

                  Well, I have PowerArchiver :: Classic

                  Windows XP - Appearance XP Style / Color Silver

                  But no crash.
                  If you can reproduce it, provide/attach a DR Watson Log File (Zip).

                    Did I read the original post correct that you are using the 64bit version of XP or is it the 32?

                    I’m not able to reproduce, but I’m using the 32 bit, so maybe it is a 64 bit problem.

                      I think I reproduced the error… it ocured when I did the following

                      1. Open PA With Silver Default Ribbon
                      2. Change to Blue Default Ribbon
                      3. Change to silver default Ribbon
                      4. Change to classic
                      5. Change to Silver default

                      (I couldnt replicate it all the time only when I was clicking and changing skins like a mad man)

                      the errors are as follow’s (does it look familer?)

                                  Hiya,

                                  I don’t have the crash at exit I experienced intially.
                                  I did have one crash when changing from the classic skin to the modern silver sking but I cannot reproduce it anymore.

                                  I will try again later to see if I can reproduce it systematically.

                                  Thank for the early preview. As Sir Richard said, it has been a very long time since I reported a problem in PA.
                                  Keep up the good work
