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. -

PowerArchiver not keeping folders?
-
I’m trying to archive a TAR GZIPed and having some problems I’m trying to archive a folder that has 4 sub folders within it. However, after the archive is complete I see it has taken all of the files within each folder and just dumped them out in the archive. How do I fix this? I have the problem with the current version and also had the problem with powerarchiver 2001.
-
Are you sure that the option “store full pathname” or relative pathname is selected.
-
Yes, I have that option selected
-
How are you doing this
- via shell
- within PA GUI (modern / classic)
and which method i.e. are you using the profile or “compress with options” or …
Also - approx size of path(s) and of (uncompressed) files?
P.P.S. Do the subfolders have files or are they empty?
Note: it works for me using shell / compress with options
and “store full path” checked. -
Well I’m not a pro with this program….not sure what your talking about when you mention shell and PA GUI.
-No the folders are not empty
-each folder has around 35-60MB of files within the folder
-the total size of the whole thing is about 150MBHow I’m currently trying:
I start powerarchiver, go to file, new, type in the name i wish (ootpreport), and TAR GZIPed file option. I select store full paths and then the folder I wish to archive. -

“shell extensions” is using the right click menu from Windows Explorer.
@ELDoro:How I’m currently trying:
I start powerarchiver, go to file, new, type in the name i wish (ootpreport), and TAR GZIPed file option. I select store full paths and then the folder I wish to archive.OK, you are using PA GUI (ie within PowerArchiver itself).
@ELDoro:-No the folders are not empty
-each folder has around 35-60MB of files within the folder
-the total size of the whole thing is about 150MBSo, nothing there. Only other thing I can think of are the folder names using “western characters” or do they have Unicode characters (accents etc)?
What is the exact version number of PA you are using (see Help / About)? Whether unregistered or registered (as Standard or Professional) is not relevant for this problem.
What version of Windows - e.g. XP, Vista (32 or 64 bit)?
Just to double check - you are aware that the path is displayed as a seperate field when viewed within PA (normally the last field in the display) - check that you have not suppressed view of path [under Options / View / File Listing / Columns].
-
-No the folder names are not using accents. Although 2 of 8 folders do contain “_” in the file name….but the 6 without it arnt working as well so not sure that is the problem.
-my version: 11.00.72 (trial version so far)
-Windows Home XP 32
-For this part - “check that you have not suppressed view of path [under Options / View / File Listing / Columns].” I’m not finding this within PA……
-
Ok, i may be on to a solution. Its letting me add the folder that contains the separate folders I was having trouble with before. However, because how my website is setup I need these folders to not be inside one larger folder.
-One way I thought I might be able to fool PA was to create the archive with the main folder, then deleted the folder and tried selecting all of the sub folders I’m trying to archive and dragging them into PA. It seems to start adding them to the archive but then always freezes at 4 seconds…tried 4 times all with the same freeze result at 4 seconds.
any ideas?
-
You can’t do that only save full folder structure or no folder info (there is no relative path option with TAR).
Could you “move” the folders to the root e.g.
C:\folder1
C:\folder2and then archive them (with full path)?

Sorry, I don’t understand the process you are describing.
When you delete a folder you delete all contents (same as in windows). so there is nothing to drag. The 4 secs may be the delay in completing the delete action.my version: 11.00.72 (trial version so far)[\QUOTE]
The version available now is updated (I think it is 11.00.78 now). Note the trial period continues, it will not reset.Regarding the settings - I meant
Options / Configuration / View (etc)Sorry if it confused you.
