    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?

    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.

      I downloaded NeverWinter Nights 2 Platinum torent (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8159156/Neverwinter.Nights.2.Platinum.READ.NFO-BLACKCATS) which is all spanned 7zip archives. When I try to open any of the spanned files, I get crc errors. Also PA shows only a few files in the archive.

      It was suggested on the torrent site to use 7zip itself, which I did and that worked fine. It also showed way more files. Here’s some screenshots of the two programs:

            Okay opened the last file, in this case it’s bkz-mkob.zip.015 and is only 31 MB instead of 262 MB. It does the same thing. PA gives crc errors, 7zip works just fine.

              ok… it seems to be spanned ZIP, not 7zip, but spanning has not been done following ZIP standard, probably 7zip doing its own thing but we can add support for it.

                        Sorry for the late response, but it’s till not working. PA Beta still shows only limited amount of files. Here’s a side by side comparison, 7Zip on the left, PA on the right:

                            problems… we are trying to figure out what exactly it is doing… it is not spanned zip, but some kind of split zip.

                              Is it appropriate to try to try to fix a problem associated with a Pirate Bay sourced download? I think not.

                                it is 7zip zip spanned archive, so even if you make any kind of similar archive, it will not work…. problem is that it is not a zip multivolume file, but rather split zip just not simply split :-)

                                  What I don’t get is that PA is using the same 7zip Dll as 7zip itself, so why does it work differently?

                                  @drteeth, regardless of the source of the files, this is an actual problem that can happen to any archive made this way. I’m not looking for help in extracting copyrighted material (which I have a license for btw from GOG AND amazon, torrents just gave me faster download), I’m reporting a problem I found with PA. :)

                                    these are split ZIP files (by 7zip), not 7zip files… so we dont use 7zip for ZIP, we have our own engine. Problem is that for “splitting” ZIP files, 7zip uses their own logic, not ZIP standard and it is weird, needs more investigation.

                                        a lot of things are non-standard, if we only supported “standards”, it would be a lot easier for us but at the same time, half of our support for formats would be gone :-).

                                        so yeah, we will find a way to support it and You should expect us to :-)
