    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?

    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?

      I’m using PowerArchiver since years and never had problems with this. Actually I’m using PA2011 with Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

      Now I bought the program Total Commander and every time I rightclick on a file or a folder Total Commander is crashing down.

      With ShellExView I tried to disable all shell extensions which are not from Microsoft. So Total Commander did not crash any more. But after enabling the shell extensions from PowerArchiver Total Commander crashes down when right clicking.

      Is there any possibility to fix the shell extensions so that Total Commander works without crashing down?

          ok, so I tried:
          PA 2011 12.01.03 Int
          TC 7.56a

          on Win7 64bit.

          All works fine… both 32bit and 64bit shell ext work fine, and even UAC elevation works as advertised.

          Maybe you are using different version of TC or PA? If not, maybe some PA setting is different? Send us your settings via Options> Save (7z first), to support at conexware dot com and refference this thread…

          thanks!

              did you try reporting this to them? This seems to be the issue with their 64bit TC that just came out. Same PA works fine in their official release.

              Keep in mind that this is first release of Delphi 64bit, so these issues will arise.

                Yes, I reported this to them. But they said that it must be a shell extension which works not correctly. So they put me to ShellExView and I disabled all of the non-Microsoft extensions. Then I enabled them one by one and tested with TC.

                    Ok… That’s a fact… ;)

                    By the way I tested WinRAR and their shell extension works fine with the beta of TC.

                    I don’t know what to do now. I asked again in the forum from TC. Hopefully there will be a fix. :(

                      tell them it works fine in official release, just not in their new 64bit release, and that works fine in x64 Explorer.

                            Sorry for letting you wait…

                            I asked the support from Total Commander. TC is only using 1 function for shell extensions. The rest is made by Windows. So they are not able to help. :(

                            But they showed me some workarounds for the problem. One is to use the x86 version of TC. Then it will work. Or using the x86 shell extension from PowerArchiver should also work. But I don’t know how to use the x86 shell extensions because I don’t have the possibility to install x86 version of PA on x64 system.

                            May be you can do something in one of your next versions with the shell extensions? That would be great. :)

                                            you need to navigate to PA folder first, or else specify the path before… like C:\program files (x86)\powerarchiver\pashlext64.dll

                                                but you should have 32bit ones in TC? PA installs both x86 and x64 shell extensions.

                                                    run this:

                                                    %windir%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /separate, /root, c:

                                                    do you see PA shell there now?
