    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    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

    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
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      Hi,
      I just installed the latest version of PA and have observed the following.

      As per most applications on Windows 8 - you need to right click and open with selecting a program as default, even after that you normally have to go to Default Programs, select default programs, find the name of the program and apply all defaults. Unfortunately PA is not showing up under the programs listed for this to be applied.

            Hi,
            I have checked with the latest installer.
            Here are my findings.

            W8 still does not recognize an application making it default handler, that seems to be W8 not just a issue with PowerArchiver.

            After install, Right Click, Select open with Default, applies the correct icon overlay.

            Control Panel, Default Programs now does indeed with this latest version show PowerArchiver listed. :)
            (Tested on VM as reverted my main PC back to Windows 7)

              default “ask if you want to use association” is how they want it to work….

                Seems to be the case… Unlike W7 & before the application would do it if you put it to, W8 have included additional steps to make you use an application as default.

                At least with this version you have now released it shows in Default Programs so that the users can put it as default, were as, as originally posted PA did not show up, therefore users would not have been able to do so. :-)

                W8 just adds to many steps to things that before W8 were so much more simple.

                Good work on getting a fix so that users can eventually navigate W8 they way MS seem to want them to, to make PA the default handler.

                  not sure why they added all the extra work… we can workaround it for sure, probably in one of the next releases. I dont think many people will know where to go.

                    I have today found your product is not (was not) alone with the issue of it not showing in the default programs, PDF Exchange is another that does not show up. I guess MS love giving you developers extra work - shame they don’t pay you to fix your products they break! ;-)

                      thats because it was required from us to actually register for this separatly from normal associations, so it is actually double work :-)

                          no you cant link back to your site in profile, no editing of profiles are allowed, next time you get a ban from forums as you are here to get a link back not discuss PowerArchiver. Thanks.
