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

Where are various settings store . . . e.g. ftp, etc.

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. -

BUG - Reuse Windows Not Working
-
I’m using v10.20.21 and after selecting reuse windows and restarting PA I can click on multiple zip files and multiple PA windows still open.
Thanks in advance for looking at this.
-
thanks for the info - will be fixed in future update, whenever the first one is…
-
Hi,
here is the test version with fix:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1021a3.exethanks!
-
Ok, that fixed the multiple windows opening. However, I now have a bug that I found while testing to see how it would work. I have listed the reproducibility as 50% because I was able to get this to happen approximately 15 times in a row and then it just seemed to stop happening.
Severity: Program Crash
Reproducibility: 50%
OS: Win Vista
Reuse Windows: On
View: Classic Toolbar
Archive Folders Bar: On##############################
##############################
Steps: Scenario 1Using three zip files: zip1.zip = 174 MB, zip2.zip = 41 MB, zip3.zip = 45 MB
1. Select multiple .zip files in Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click on the files and select ‘Open’.
3. The individual files are processed within one PA window, opened and closed I assume.
4. Close PA###############
Results: Scenario 11. The program may crash during the file open process.
2. If the program does not crash while opening the files it will after the user clicks the close ‘X’ button.
3. Program crash did not seem to occur if user selects File\Exit
###############
Additional Notes: Scenario 11. Arguably PA should either:
a.) ignore any files after the first selected file when the ‘Reuse Windows’ option is selected. Opening and closing multiple files doesn’t have any upside and only wastes time while sucking up a lot of processor ticks.
-Or-
b.) when multiple archives are selected from explorer, ignore the reuse window option and open each archive in a separate window. This would seem to fall more closely in line with how windows handles multiple folders being selected even when explorer typically ‘reuses’ the explorer window.
##############################
##############################
Steps: Scenario 2Using same three files as in Scenario 1
1. Open PA
2. Navigate to folder containing archives using Archive Folder Pane
3. Select all three files and right-click
4. Select ‘Open’###############
Results: Scenario 2This results in a client crash with no additional steps required from the user.
###############
Additional Notes: Scenario 21. Argument 1 a from scenario 1’s additional notes section should apply here. If selecting files from within the client and you have selected to reuse the window, opening and then closing multiple archives simply to respect the reuse window option is just a waste of time and processor. Ignoring all but the first archive in this case would seem to be the best way of handling this.
##############################
Thanks!

We will leave this for when we have more time for testing - i couldnt reproduce this on our Vista machines for 10.21 release.
