    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?

    However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !

      Just noticed that all my right click shell options had disappeared. I had to uninstall PA and do a fresh install before I could get them back. Just a heads up in case anyone else has the same problem.

        Ouch - I’ve lost my PowerArchiver shell extensions as well.

        I am sure they were there with PA.11.60.20 and have disappeared with web update to PA.11.60.23.

        I have tried toggling the enable shell option; I have modified the options to just use sub-menu but still missing.

        Note: I do not know if they were present before I reset to default for the disk error message problem as I hadn’t tried shell after update. I have also rebooted a few times since the update.

        I have not reinstalled (yet) in case any further checking is needed - can probably last a day or so without shell (but not longer) :p

              Confirm all extensions lost here with release version.

              Toggling the enable shell option failed here too.

              Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

                check the date on pashell.dll in your PA folder.

                We actually were investingating something similar in RC versions, where it seemed as installer was not replacing shell dll if it was in use and it needed restart/reboot.

                But when we actually tested against it, it seemed to be replacing dlls without restart, even when they were in use (which should happen with Restart Manager in Vista/Win7 but not in WinXP).

                                                        Catching up.

                                                        I don’t have pashell.dll (nor is pashlext.dll) in PA folder :eek:

                                                        Although that explains the problem of no shell, it doesn’t explain why the dll is missing - should I try re-install now or is there more info/checking needed.
