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.

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.

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. -
Hi Dear,
Cannot login and request resend license code for my fd
FTP logon issues!
-
How the heck do I log on to a FTP server on PowerArchiver 2009?
I see nowhere to enter the address.
I use SmartFTP which works great and easy.
But I thought I would give PowerArchiver 2009 FTP a try.
With SmartFTP all I had to to was have have SmartFTP running and then highlight and copy the FTP address and it would add it to SmartFTP automatically
I am trying to make up my mind if I should upgrade to the Pro version.

Did you open FTP Window?
-
-
Did you add a profile by clicking on the Profiles button ?
-
You can click on Profiles and set new profile. Or you can use box right to the profile to enter ftp info!
If you use profiles, you will be able to use them everywhere in PA…

Thats the thing I don’t understand. What is this profile thing all about? And what do I enter?
All I want to do is goto someones FTP site. -
you enter ftp address, what else would you enter? :)

Ok the problem was that those FTP sites that I was trying are down.
Having said that I think I will stick with SmartFTP as it can do way more then Power Archiver can.

definelty, PA FTP is meant for quick upload download, etc, it is not and wont be fully featured ftp client with queues and what not… But is it quite usable, yes…
-
If you do not want to use profiles, you can just enter ftp address, user name, password and click on Connect button just like as in “SmartFTP”. This way of connectings either directly or by profiles is almost the same in SmartFTP.

Yes I understand that.
The thing that seems to be missing form PowerArchiver FTP is there seems to be noway to click on lets say for example a folder with picture and download which ever one you want. You I do this with SmartFTP
Try this FTP for Example
nssdcftp.gsfc.nasa.gov
port 21
When you logon to that FTP address look for a folder called “photo_gallery”
With Smartftp it will show you all the photos in the smartftp interface and you can download what you want.
With PowerArchiver FTP I don’t even understand how to see any of the photos. Its just shows the folder but not whats in them.
-
I connected with username anonymous to a server you specifed, I was able to browse to any folder including photo_gallery and then download and of files/folders. If you want see also a local folder on your computer so you can either use D&D as in other programs - set “Explorer with Folders” Folder’s display style.

I really think PowerArchiver 2009 FTP sucks!
It does not work good and just adds bloat to PowerArchiver.
I can’t see anyone who uses FTP a lot wanting to user PowerArchiver 2009 FTP. It just seems like a big waste to me.
Guess I’ll be sticking to the standard version.
I really think its a mistake to add these so callled Pro features. Because you now have what should be called PowerArchiver 2009 Bloat Edition.
You should keep PowerArchiver light and simple and just focus on Archive stuff.
It does not need all this other extra stuff.
But nothing against you guys this is just one person opinion.

then dont use them and voila. Thats what Standard is there for.
I personally use both ftp and burner myself.
Complete point of Pro edition is to use it for something not specific for PA.
Now, we could have made bunch of things Pro such as Backup, Preview and other things… would that make you any happier? I dont think so.
-
And one more thing after I entered my new user name and password for PowerArchiver 2009 standard Edition how come I still have the FTP option listed?

FTP Window or? And where?
thanks.
p.s. more constructive would be to tell us what you want improved in FTP. When it just came out in 99, PA was quite sucky compared to big players then and look at us now :)
-
p.s. none of the basic compression utility features will ever be in Pro only, they will always be in Standard version of PA. Thats our promise :-)
