    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?

    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?

    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.

      Sorry about reopening this thread again.

      PABURNTOOLS.EXE is cleared in the latest AVG 8 (270.6.6/1623) update, but I still get a warning about PAVD.EXE.

      I have tried to send the file for analysis but it always fail. Maybe thats because it’s the free version?

          No, thats the one I get warnings about.
          As I am using the free version of AVG I’m not able to report the problem? I have tried to send pavd.exe for analysis several times but it always fail.
          My workaround right now is to exclude the Powerarchiver folder.
          It would be nice if you could make Grisoft aware of the problem.

          Otherwise I’m very satisfied with PA 2009. I really like the modern toolbar.

            already reported last night, did not receive anything back.

            False virus reports are not our issues but issues from AV vendors who dont do their jobs too well :)

                  But as I have the PA folder excluded in AVG it doesn’t bother me to much.
                  I check from time to time by copying the files to another folder, as I did right now.

                      Checked all PA executables today, PAVD.EXE still gets a warning.
                      Maybe I should change to another anti-virus program, AVG is not the only free one but I like it.

                      Anyway PA is working very well and I am glad I paid for the pro version. Burning is little bit slow but everything I tried works well.

                        This “problem” was not the only reason, however, that would be off topic…

                                        As to the buying, unfortunatly it is not up to us. If AV company keeps repeating the same mistakes, i think it tells more of their product and question is what else will they get wrong?

                                                  I’m getting this as well. I pay for AVG so should I report this to see if they will fix it for a paying customer? And yes I’m getting it as well.

                                                    more reports the better… although it didnt help last time…

                                                      I have been in daily contact with them since last week when I reported the problem. Today I have received the confirmation that it will be fixed with the next virus database update.

                                                        Their latest update seems to have indentified some Windows files as false positives, so heads up people who have AVG as your XP will not start anymore :-).
