    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    TheAndyMacT

    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
    MerowingerM

    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.

        Totally agree. It would be nice if this was the first port of call (not twitter/fb etc) that has all the latest information. Other businesses can achieve it, so I am sure that it would not be difficult to PA to implement. :)

          It was discused awhile ago that the website would be getting a overall change making it more modern and simpler to navigate.

          No preview has been shown yet, but I am sure they will be implementing changes relivant to your requests.

            I think an updated website is still someways off…
            the team seem to be focused on reaching a final release of PA but I’m sure the website is a focal point of theirs.

              I never said the website would be a higher Priority :) I just said that it was on the list of jobs being done, from what i have been told.

              The release of the Application is the highest priority as it is this that brings in an income.

                      as to the left overs, forgot to remove them… not enough people visited from those countries (they usually download from their own download sites or mags). We do English and Deutsch in the house.

                        I like a lot VLC’s and Operas new sites, they look great.

                        I am not sure how do they interact more, i think level of our interaction via fb and twitter is all right and more than any other compression utility… xplorer2 has old school website and news section is updated 3 times per year :)

                        opera also doesnt interact with its users?

                            Just my 2 cents: I have no problem with PA website except that the “latest news” often has nothing close to the latest news about release versions.

                            Alpha, Beta & RC info don’t need to (actually probably shouldn’t) go here, but kept in twitter and/or blog posts if you want to announce them to a wide group.

                            But the website should definitely have up-to-date and correct info about the release packages; this issue is really independent of a redesign.

                              Well, to be fair, xplorer site is updated, whenever there is an update, it’s a one-man show :D

                              Opera has lots of interaction…

                              • The website is updated regularly with news etc.
                              • User Forums
                              • Team “blogs” - DesktopTeam / Core Devs / JavaScript Team etc. for Alpha releases and Special Test
                              • Youtube (like PA)
                              • Opera devs have personal “Blogs” and “Twitter”.
                              • Only the “bug-tracking” is closed.
                              • Opera wasn’t always free (site was similar when paid for).

                              I do think PA is also good - just things like the “latest news” etc. is always out of date. This forum is one of the best, though (due to spwolf, mili and even ivan “popping in”).

                              It is hard to find a good “paid software” website.
                              And impossible to find an Compression/Archiver site I would even suggest you should look at :p

                                  I’ve had a hell of a week, Helped save a half a mill account from leaving my employer because of a fracking idiot account manager. Yet didnt receive one thanks!

                                  Then ended up having to reload 2 months of Sales Records due too the Idiots in ashford not checking the data from depots, and after all that to top it off some noob decided to change a customer’s hierarchy structure that then duplicated statistics per customer and THEN sent off stats off to them thus the customer invoiced us Twice the amount for a contracted rebate, of which we then had to tell them it was an error.

                                  Just one of them weeks!

                                          as plain & simple as it might look the current eset nod site has a popular corporate look to it but each to his or her own I guess…:)

                                                I like clean and fresh designs :)

                                                Something on the lines of the following would be nice:

                                                  http://www.mediamonkey.com/ - too dark for my taste, but very good navigation structure, which is pretty similar to what PA would need
                                                  http://www.techsmith.com/ - design is a bit old school too, but the way they structure their navigation menu is pretty good.
                                                  http://www.helium-music-manager.com/ - pretty good site
                                                  http://www.piriform.com/ - nice and clean design

                                                        Avast did a very similar thing, now there site looks like this;

                                                        www.avast.com

                                                        its clean, fresh, colourful and has both Home & Business tabs, including community section.

                                                        The about us section also great, they give a clear friendly and pro aproach making people feel like they know the developers even more.

                                                        Because PowerArchiver is so focused and directional with their customers I would certainly suggest more detail on the developer’s, owners and possibly key Testers etc.

                                                        It also has History, something always nice to know when considering buying from companies you dont know much about.
