    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?

    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.

      The “Email it” feature is not working.

      I test it using context menu in Explorer and within PowerArchiver.

      I use OutlookExpress and WindowsXP SP2 (Portuguese).

        What happens when you right click on file, send to> mail recipient, in Windows Explorer?

        Also, under Internet Explorer> Tools> Programs> Email client. What is listed there?

        It works fine with my outlook, and works fine when I changed my default client to my Outlook Express, so it has to be more specific than that.

        thanks,

              Hi,

              I can confirm this issue.

              1. Create archive (for example, “arch.zip”)
              2. Right-click on this archive-> PA->e-mail it!
              3. ”…just a window appears and it is minimized (it’s really fast) and that’s all…”

              I use The Bat! v3.0

              !!! This doesn’t happen when e-mail client is running in the background (trey or minimized)

              Hope this will help…

                    The same.

                    If e-mail client is running in the background (trey or minimized) it works fine.

                    But if I don’t launch e-mail application first,
                    it doesn’t work…

                      For me, even if OutlookExpress is opened, the PA’s email feature does not work.

                      Compress & Email does not work either.

                              can everyone list all the open files on there computer, maybe its something conflicting with the email client . It orks for me i wuld suggest changing to thunerbird email client and then checking this feature as outlook express is bugggy and can cause this problem , which can affect the bat as well as several other eamil programs.

                              Have you tried this featuire in safe mode it might be a conflicting driver. I know this feature is faulty in ultimatezip so if your’ve installed it and uninstalled it, that might have left several things of your system that might be causing this.

                              though this feature is a bit slow, it still works. Some people are probably terminating the prossess cause thay think it is not work , just a thought.

                                            did everyone test this feature in safe mode as jsut exiting programs still leaves something int the memory

                                            I did. It doesn’t work in safe mode too…

                                              The “Email it” feature is not working.

                                              I test it using context menu in Explorer and within PowerArchiver.

                                              I use OutlookExpress and WindowsXP SP2 (Portuguese).

                                              OS: XP SP1
                                              PA version: 9.11.01
                                              email client: Incredimail

                                              everything works perfectly!

                                                @Carlospr:

                                                I have tested an email feature with another program (7zip) and t didn’t work too.

                                                Something is wrong with the system, but what?

                                                I have attached the list of all applications running (from Windows task manager).

                                                I have suspected from the start that the problem might be in standard MAPI interface which is used in Windows for this purpose, it sometimes gets messed up but I have not checked on this in a while so I will need to do some checking and reading up. I will let you know when I have something.

                                                thanks,

                                                          Definetelly something specific with your system, bucause on most machines with most e-mail clients (Outook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Incredimail, …) work fine. Also on those systems that have problems some other utilities have same problems.

                                                          We can do more testing for version 9.5, but in the mean time, if you find out some specific reason why it doesn’t work, it would be very helpfull.

                                                            If I find something I’ll surely report it here.
