    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?

    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09

    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.

      Just installed 11.63.11 to see what it is like :p

      Install Configuration preselected Classic View - but it is described as Classic with Preview.
      But the Preview is disabled in “Free Mode”.

      Shell extensions still allows selection of the burner options (although they do not appear in actual shell menus).

      While not really bugs - these may cause some confusion to new users.

                Not consistent.
                On first display it may be OK but then displays wrong after a while. Problem can be “provoked” by resizing whole PA window (especially horizontally).

                          there is slightly real reason ;-). Few minor things were updated.

                          Keep in mind that it will recognize license and also that it will also correctly web update to any future Pro version as well ;-).

                              you can use that version, it will work fine.

                              We plan to issue beta version of 11.xx official release.

                              why do you need separate installers? (just asking).

                                Just because a practical matter; I mean, seeing the size of the previous “Pro only” version and comparing it with the size of the latest “all in one”, the difference is noticeable. But that’s not all because, why a determined user who only want the “free” version of your program, would wanna download the “Pro” version at the same time?

                                As with many others diverse programs, if you have a free “lite” alternative of the program, you should offer it just like that. At the same time, all the other people who knows the additional features included in the Pro version and wanna try them, will have to download just the trialware of that “Pro only” package.

                                This is similar to a hypothetical x86-x64 versions distribution: why a determined user with a x86 architecture and os, would want to download an “all in one” x86-x64 combined package or vice versa?

                                Of course there will be users that will not mind about all these, but I think regarding options, the more the better.

                                  I think we will keep Free version as it is now - where it is easier to see Pro version features even in Free version. It is also helpful to us to maintain single executable.

                                    (of course there will be always an Pro version with minimum size, even if that wont matter too much as next versions will have better web update that only downloads patches).

                                            Shell extensions still allows selection of the burner options (although they do not appear in actual shell menus).

                                            No change - but so minor probably not worth making code changes for.
