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.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
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!
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?
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.

FTP - works differently, depending
-
If I am in the PA window and choose FTP, the transfer works fine using both plain FTP and FTP +SSL/TTL.
Using the shell extensions, FTP works for me only if I use plain FTP, even to the very same site.
I assume this is a glitch.
It would be nice if the shell extension FTP option allowed some encryption.
-
Basically, uploading to an FTP +SSL/TTL site via shell does not work for you, but others work OK?
-
Yes. I can use encryption if I am in PA. I cannot use it from the shell.
And in both cases I am going from the same folder to the same folder on the off-site location.
It would be nice of the encryption FTP options also worked from the shell.

thanks! logged in

Please check this version and let us know if it fixes your issue:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2012/powarc1300rc1.exethanks!
-
Not only does it not fix the problem.
Now I cannot use encryption in ftp even within PA.
So I will have to uninstall and reinstall the previous version.
One thing that would be helpful. with major upgrades, I lose all my settings. I can save and import some of them. But others, like the location and content of the quick access bar are lost and have to be rebuilt. Now we are only talking about a couple of minutes here, but . . .
BTW, odd thing, at the very instant I tried to do this, I got 2 copies of an update to adobe flash player. Not sure if it is just a coincidence, or . . .
-
thanks… i have setup ftp ssl server now for the dev team to test against, so we should have another build hopefully soon.
-
Thanks.
BTW, With FileZilla going to the same folder at the same site, I use “Explicit FTP over TLS.”
-
do you know what ftp server is being used? If we can get access, it would be helpful, since on our ftp/ssl it works fine. But there are many different server softwares for ftp.
if it is confidential you can email the info… if it is impossible, then let us know the name of the server.
thanks.
-
I can use plain FTP without a problem. Just none of the encrytion options.
And I have no problem using FileZilla to that site.
I guess I will just have to use FZ for the last step of my transfer.
Or send it unencrypted.
Shame.
-
but do you know which ftp server is being used? it should say so when you login in ftp client, it would be one of the first strings…
-
But I don’ see that is going to help. But try.
Never had problem logging onto ANY FTP server with FZ.
But if that will help, give it a whirl. However, I expect I will just need to plan on using the two step process.
Actually, I cannot even do it from the PA window any more. Maybe installing the rc1 changed a setting somewhere else.
Silly me. I should have stuck with what I had.
-
i mean the actual ftp server software… like filezilla server or what exactly?
-
i got it from the server, it is Pure-FTPd… will let you know more.
-
Glad you figured out. I wasn’t sure what you were asking.
The server type (using FZ) is set to autodetect.
-
ok, repeated here since this is real thread:
–------
This is new version PA 2012 RC1 13.00.24:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2012/powarc1300rc1.exeNow explicit SSL works on Our server (which is different server software), so please check with yours!
-
SSL works. Cannot use TLS, but this is great.
Thanks.
-
it is the same, we just call it differently - what is explicit SSL we call ftp+ssl and what is implicit SSL in filezilla, we call ftp + ssl/tls… but otherwise it is same encryption used.
