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.
PA 22.00.09

Change to tool button. Possible bug?
-
I see that in 14.00.23 there has been a slight change with the “tool” button.
Clicking on it now gives us the option to expand it to view the full list of tools.
Have to say I preferred it when it was already expanded without the need to click on the arrows. Any chance of returning to the way it was, even as an option maybe?<edit>Looking like a bug now.
</edit> -
Lux I’m seeing it on my system as the right hand image is that correct? (14.00.23)
-
I assumed from Luxor’s post that the tool button had changed, but like Moles, I don’t have to click any drop down arrow. All the options show automatically on mine as well. Is there a chance that there is an option somewhere the controls which was the button appears?

No, I’m seeing the 1st (left) image.
@Socrates:I don’t have to click any drop down arrow. All the options show automatically on mine as well. Is there a chance that there is an option somewhere the controls which was the button appears?
Can’t find anything to change it anywhere. Doesn’t seem to be a skin issue neither.
Yay! I think I’ve found a bug. :D
-
I also see the image on the right - all options available. v14.00.23*
*From the info patchbeam gives (same version under beta and release), it looks like this version is a final and not a beta.

Same info here.
But spwolf did say that it’s beta 5. :) -
well, thats strange.
-
-
Damn! It’s still present in 14.00.26 :(
Tried resetting to defaults and it was OK. Imported back my settings and it displays OK for now. :confused:
I will keep an eye on it for any change in behaviour. -
This bug resurfaced last night.
No changes to my computer, nothing installed etc.
No changes made to Powerarchiver itself neither.
Good luck finding what’s causing it as it has me stumped. :confused: -
weird……

weird……
You can say that again. ;)
Worse still I tried resetting back to defaults like the last time but this time it’s not fixing itself. :( -
It was a long shot I know but 1400rc2 didn’t fix it.
-
Just an update to inform that 140030 didn’t make a difference when reset to defaults etc.
-
it is not going to make any difference until next alphas :-).
probably something weird with the menu components, but we wont update them until next alpha’s because updates usually bring out some weird issues (like this one), and we dont have months now to test it against final release… so hopefully when next release/alpha is in 2-3 weeks, we will see if that changes things.

Kind of presumed that, but I like to keep you updated. :D

That does sound like you have some idea of what may be causing it. :)
Odd that it only seems to be affecting me though. A Vista quirk maybe? -
Would you believe that with the latest update 14.02.03 this has fixed itself.
I wonder if it will be permanent or if it will revert back to how it was. Time will tell. ;) -
You will see the tools all show separately in the Home tab when PA is started without an open archive.
When an archive is open, the Home tab will feature the Tools button as a dropdown, as in the screenshot in the first post.
Then, clicking the Tools tab shows all of the tools separately.That seems to be OK?

Umm! Either I’m misunderstanding you Mili or I’m missing the obvious, but those tools have never appeared on the my Home tab if an archive isn’t open. :confused:
-
I see now what you mean.
Now that they are there in the Home tab when an archive isn’t open, what do you think about having them there?I kinda like having everything there in one tab, for easy access.
Your thoughts?
-

Huh? They are not in my home tab if an archive isn’t open as the screenshot in my previous post shows. The drop down menu only shows if an archive is open.
-
Right, if an archive is open, it shows in the dropdown.
If there is no archive open, Tools show on the right side, as in your screenshot.That’s how you see it too?

That’s how you see it too?You got it. :D
Before the latest update I had the compact menu where I had to click on the arrows to see the full menu s in the first screenshot in original post, but now I see it fully expanded as it should be.
I notice that it now also contains “Archive comment” in that drop down menu, maybe that’s what has made it work properly again.
All that matters is I’m happy that it’s now functioning properly and I hope that it stays that way and doesn’t revert back to the compact menu as happened in previous versions after a couple of days use.

What a great way to start 2014! :D
