    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?

    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.

      Hello Everyone,

      We are currently working on ZTE - Zip To Email, separate application for Outlook and Email file/archive sending, without need for PA itself. Original name was Zip And Email, but hmhph, we were apparently slow :-).

      Main idea of ZTE:

      • simplify process of emailing large archives
      • completely independent
      • provide various options not available in PAOP
      • Have advanced options - make it PowerArchiver of Emailing attachments world - in both intuitive interface and wealth of options.

      So we need people who use Outlook, from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2010, 32bit or 64bit, WinXp to Win7/S2008.

      Let us know in this thread if you are willing to do some tests and what version of Windows and Outlook you have.

      thanks!

            I am a heavy Outlook User at work and home, I email a range of file types such as Database Extracts, Excel’s, word, powerpoint, txt files etc etc.

            Would be interested if those suggestions i put across sometime ago are within this Zip2Mail version.

            Please add me to the testing team! i am keen to get this started ASAP as i am working on several projects at Brakes Group and this will be a wonderfull peace of kit to try out.

                Would be nice to have PA on multiple platforms. But i have used practically every email client and it just doesnt touch Outlook within a business enviroment. Lotus Notes comes close but that too is very heavy on resource “packed with features” but outlook wins.

                If you just use email for simple communications and the odd attachement then Thunderbird or Pegasus is great!! its free, simple and doesnt hit your resources.

                But I couldnt imagine doing half of the work i do day to day with those alternative cleints.

                  well it will zip anything from shell, just like PA, and launch default client…

                  so it will work with Tbird or Pegasus, it just wont have unique plugin.

                                                        That explains why we are all so busy and i keep demanding things.

                                                        Come Back Terry!.. :)
