    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
    M

    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?

    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      Win XP Pro SP3

      I have a number of Zip archives which were either created or updated using PA 2009. Sizes vary but may be 50 mb, and some a lot smaller. None have given problems. I am now working with them using PA 2010.

      In one archive, I have 97 files, of which 6 are DFLT-X and the rest DFLT-N. The files are almost all PDFs.

      When I click them to view in Acrobat, I often get a blank error window across the centre of the screen and the PA status bar shows corrupt characters. Other files perform as expected, but I can see nothing to differentiate them from the faulty ones. This also happens when attempting to preview.

      When I test the archive, I get a message requesting a password several times (none of the files are thus protected and nor is the archive). The test proceeds to end and reports 45 errors in the archive. The test display shows "Testing: "then a mass of corrupt data and at end “–> CRC error”.

      This happens with some, but not all archives - though I have a lot hand haven’t checked them all.

      I am currently testing a possible temporary fix by extracting files from backup archives and creating entirely new archives under 2010 - but this is palliative only.

            I am definitely updating archives (created under 2009 or before) either by moving new files to them or adding or updating.

            I have found that in some instances I can repair (via PA) my archive with minimal file loss; but in others anything up to 1/3 are corrupt.

                  I’ve downloaded and installed this .26 version.

                  Can you please tell me what it is meant to fix?

                  I’ve tried working (including repairing) on a corrupt zip with the latest version but everything happens as before i.e. files are corrupt on view, open and extract, and the archive cannot be repaired.

                  If it’s not a retrospective fix, then I imagine that it is intended to stop the problem happening again in future.
