See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Extracting winzip11 archives
-
is it a known issue that files from winzip11 archives (compressed using the “optimized for best compression” option) cannot be extracted with PA 10.2 b4?
it won’t even acknowledge the problem. if i ask it to test the archive, it tests only one file in it and report the archive is valid. it extracts only that file no matter what i do.
-
compressed using the “optimized for best compression” option
So what compression is it using?
If Bzip2 or PPMD then PA does not support that compression format in a Zip file! -
yep, it wont work since it is not actually an zip archive. WinZip added their own formats to zip and it is not compatible with PKWARE standards.

Actually, not true.
The latest PK app note includes both PPMd and BZip2 as compression methods. Their latest software also supports BZip2 as a compression method. Although PPMd at this stage seems to be excluded.
Sooner or later, your lack of support for these methods will begin to impact your product.

it is exactly what I said. They added their own formats to zip specifications to make everyone else incompatible.
It is as if 7zip wasnt 7z, but author adding lzma compression to zip format. Would that be fine? I dont think so.
p.s. isnt there also sound compression format in WZ as well? :-)

Well actually, the zip specification does allow LZMA as a compression method just like it allows PPMd.
It’s called progress.
All the compression methods are documented and there is nothing stopping you from supporting them. Unless, of course the 3rd party compression engine that you are using, makes this difficult. It’s a competitive world out there, and unless you are happy with the proprietary WinRar format (PPMd based) becoming a standard, then you will have to get used to newer and better compression methods for zip emerging now and again.
At least they are free to implement!
