W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -
Hi Dear,

12.00.49 Bug report
-
I can reproduce this.
Open archive, click on extract, and try to click on the drop down MRU box. PA locks for 5-10 secs, then a black rectangle appears for a further 5-10 secs - it is the shape and size of the expected MRU list. Then the list appears and the rest of the extract box disappears. One is then left with the PA window with the extract box hidden underneath it.
The previous version (RC3?) worked fine, my 12.00.49 on my netbook is unaffected, just my main PC.
Patchbeam reported the update as the release version, but RC4 is available on the site. I need the previous version to be able to use PA again. Please let me know where I can get it from.
Tnx.

I cannot reproduce this on either my desktop or laptop. Makes me think something else is clashing with this feature.

Since rebooting this PC for something else, all is well. None of my other PCs (3) had this issue at all. Cancel the brown trousers <g>!

what AV do you use?
-
we didnt do any changes that would cause this function to behave differently… but you never know… and also since we recompiled, some AV might have reset their pa.exe whitelist.
someone reporting PA starting slowly, but that also happened only once.
-
I use eset NOD 32. As I said, all is well after a reboot…damn computers making me look like a schmendrick<g>. very strange.

Had to go back to 12.00.41 (RC3) as RC4 is totally unusable. So far, RC3 is okay. I did notice, with RC4, it took noticeably longer to the extract dialogue to appear after pressing ‘extract’ than with RC3.
Guy
-
so what happens? What OS?
-
maybe save your settings and send it over to us via support at conexware dot com. So we can try exactly the same settings.
And this happens only with extract window location MRU?
-
also that suggests that MRU had some specific folder that for some reason PA did not like… do you use maybe network folders, network drives, removable drives, etc? anything similar that would cause you to think about?

Yes. All settings have been deleted as I could not do in inplace downgrade…had to manually uninstall first.

I thought of that but one moment RC3 was working, the next RC4 was not. Also, RC4 seemed to work one minute and not the next - the change happening after a reboot.
I have just ‘patchbeamed’ my RC3 to RC4 and all is well so far. MRU is empty so far and I’ll do some experimenting later.
Thanks
Guy
-
just save that mru so we will see when it happens again… it happens only with the mru there, right?
-
The problem is apparent the moment I click ‘extract’ as there is a delay before the dialogue box appears.
Only one setup has been affected, it is okay so far, will update if it occurs. Please let me know of the location where the MRU is stored.
Cheers
Guy
-
just use options> save settings to a file… and send it over…
that way we have everything in case it is connected to another option as well.
-
Will do.
Guy
-
did you get it happen again?
-
Hi,
No I did not…sorry for not posing earlier. I deliberately set a folder to my external drive in the MRU and them turned off that drive…no problems.
I’ll keep monitoring…

patchbeam to .50.
We made some changes which we thought could optimize this… but we couldnt reproduce it, so it might or might not help :-)

Thanks. I cannot reproduce it now either (before the update) ;).
