    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?

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    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.

      This is stated to be a separate application in the beta 1 email I got.

      I am very interested in this. Is more info available? Like release date and pricing ;) ?

      Also, I just cannot see any advantage to the select plan in spite of reading the page http://www.powerarchiver.com/powerarchiver-select-premium-support-maintainance/.

      PA updates just fine now, so what advantage does this ‘new’ method give?

      Thanks

        When PA 2014 rolls out with new keys, you will not have to do anything but click on update, it will automatically update the keys… plus better support, etc. It is really meant for business users, which always had something similar but not clearly defined - we are only company that provides phone support in this space for instance, so now we can tell them - look, competitor provides only upgrade assurance, and here you get much more.

        As for personal users, it makes life little bit easier, plus it also gives you means to support PA development. Both development and support are on-going, not one time costs of course :-). We also plan to give home users a chance to get free Select by posting on forums as well.

        As to Encryption Suite… we will define it a little bit better once we are done with PA 2013. It needs more features then right now, we will see.

          Hi,

          I have d/l the beta and will install it once my current backup run has finished. The reason why I asked about the Encryption Suite is that the paragraph describing it does not make it clear whether it is a separate app or included in PA - it can read both ways. I have been looking for a good PGP alternative for AGES and am looking forward to this development.

          I assume that it is okay to install over the top of PA 2012?

          Thanks

            it is included in PA, so nothing extra to install.
            It is an separate application but it works fluidly within PowerArchiver.

            keep in mind we just started with PGP :-). Any suggestions would be awesome.

              I installed over the top and the install program deletes the older version.

              Still having problems with the driver letter being assigned to a virtual drive when an image is mounted. It looks like the driver for virtual drive fails. Please see screenshots. The installing driver window was present for well over a minute.

              I manually installed the Starport drivers and updated them to the latest version. They appear to be installed okay but there is no virtual DVD-ROM showing as a result (further screenshot added).

              I can work around this issue (I have Virtual CloneDrive installed and working) but do not like to let computers win ;).
