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.

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?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

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).
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.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

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.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.

Upload to FTP counts -%?
-
I am uploading a .7z file to my FTP and its counting completed it -%'s and not showing a progress bar. I am pretty sure its uploading the file.
Also…when you click on cancel it seems to take it as a suggestion and you have to hit the exit button 3-4 times for the window to finally close. It does this when zipping files as well…any idea on that?
-
Not sure about ftp uploading, but during Compression/Extraction “Cancel” actually means when current file operation (that’s file NOT archive) is finished.
PA has to wait for the “library” function to return control to the GUI.Actually, maybe ftp is similar??
-
I have attached the pic I took of it uploading to my FTP.
As far as canceling or stopping an archive/FTP upload in progress…what is the best method? Like I said currently I hit the x button 3-4 times and it will close.

PA has to wait for the “library” function to return control to the GUI.I understand this is true for PA, but I wish it would cancel when you hit cancel. 7Zip, for example, cancels immediately when you tell it to, there is no waiting, no matter how large the current file happens to be.
-
uploading via File> Send> FTP?
-
Yeah, after I created the archive I right clicked then did PA…FTP it and then the location.

complaining about it is first and major step into fixing it :-)

ok, thats from shell… will take an look
-
Did you want me to try it from the program itself? Also…I second the suggestion that Dragon57 had…hitting cancel should probably cancel the whole thing (at least IMO). Should i start a thread in the suggestions/wishlist area?

yes please… and yes, you should want everything to work to your liking… then if something is not possible for whatever reason, we will say so.
but do not be restricted by what we say :-)

Odd spwolf….I tried another file and its at 100% uploaded (done same way) but there is no way its done…its a 6 GB file (other was 2gb) both were done in the same way. I just tried to upload them by opening PA and it stays at 0 bytes and wont even attempt to upload. Hmmm.
-
ok, we will try from our end…
-
OK I closed PA and reopened…and inside PA I did another upload (same file and it is now uploading…but has the same issue (% doesn’t change on this one). Must be a % based issue…hope I was of help!
-
very helpful!
-
I have been watching this thread. I have tried it several times, and the progress bars and the %s are working just fine.
I have tried it within PA and using the shell. Works fine either place.
Odd
-
i suspect it has something to do with files over 2 GB / 4GB and since this entirely new component in 2011, it makes sense.
-
Does make sense.
But I am giving it a test right now. If my results are different, I will let you know. But FTPing a file in excess of 2 gig will definitely take some time.
-
I did not wait for it to finish.
For what it is worth, I got a slightly different result.
My progress started at above 250% – and it was counting down (252, 251, 250 . . .)
-
that was file over 2 GB?
-
yes . . . about 2.6
-
Both mine were over 2 GB. One was 2.2 and the other was 6+. Other files do work fine.
