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.

Extract archive to subfolder - multiple archives to one folder
-
Several versions now I’m seeing this problem…
I have the ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ context menu action enabled under the shell extension settings. In all past versions, selecting multiple archives and then dragging-and-dropping them to a destination folder and extracting them with this option caused all archives to be extracted to their own folder - named after each archive. Since the last few versions, only a single folder gets created (named after the FIRST selected archive) with all of the archives contents being extracted to the single folder…
Is this “known” and expected to be fixed soon? Having to select and individually extract each archive is a real pain…
-
Hi steje,
The Option you’re looking for is Extract to filename/
It’s not enabled by default and you have to add it manually, here’s a screenshot showing where it is. Single click it and click Add or Add to Submenu
-
Once you do add it, the right click option will look like the highlighted below.
It shows up when multiple archives are selected and right clicked and it will extract all archives into separate folders;
-
Thanks as always Mili… this was a self-inflicted problem. I must have messed around with my shell extension settings for some reason at some point and didn’t realize I had reset them to use the wrong subfolder action. Thanks for correcting me… all good now.
-
maybe we could set this as default option for 2015?

You’re very welcome steje!
As spwolf points out, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to make this a default option in PA 2015. As it’s probably the most logical way to handle extracting multiple archives into subfolders. -
So - ironically, since updating to 15.00.38 - this seems to have BECOME a legitimate issue :-)!
I’ve got 3 zip files in the same folder:
Autoruns.zip
SysinternalsSuite.zip
Sysmon.zipI select all three and drag them with right mouse button and then release. I pick what seems to be the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ item from the drop menu. But only one folder is created, with the contents of all three zip files mixed into the one folder (named after the first selected zip file). Same behavior as if you’re using the ~wrong shell extension option like I had unknowingly been doing before == the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ item.
So, I went into Configuration, and edited the Shell Extensions/Extraction page to remove ALL menu items (except for the sub-menu that you never let us remove ;-) ). I was surprised that after doing this, I still had both the ‘Extract Here’ and ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu items appear on the drop menu…?
But I then go back into Configuration and re-add the ‘Extract to filename/ (multiple archives into separate folders)’ item, and when testing again - it still DISPLAYS in the context menu as if it’s the right item (by virtue of showing \filename\ at the end of the Extract To text shown in the context menu text, instead of the actual name of only the first of multiple filenames selected which is indicative of the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu item). But again, the behavior is as if the regular item is selected.
Weird… did you perhaps in fact make a change in v15 like the one described here about making the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ the default behavior, but it somehow went terribly wrong - lol?
-
yep, we added by default for both options to work… it seems that drag and drop one has the issue you experienced, while “normal” right click works fine? Please check it out.
thanks!
-
Hi wolf… yes, confirmed. The right click context menu Extract to /filename/ works as expected as you said. It’s only the drop menu thats broken…
-
okie dokie, new version should be out soon.
-
Hi folks, just wondering if there is a fix for this intended for release some time soon? I submitted a ‘Support Form’ last week but it seems maybe the support form might be a bit deprecated? At least, the version drop down only goes as high as PA2013, and I didn’t get a response… so I’m mentioning again here now because several updates have been released so far without a fix.
-
hey Steje, this was logged into the system but we’re now adding it to the list for the next update. thanks very much for the reminder!
-

did you get ticket number automatically?
-
Thanks Mili!
Hi spwolf… I don’t recall seeing anything other than a web page that acknowledged me submitting the report. I didn’t get an email or anything like that (I checked SPAM, etc).
I just submitted a new report for another issue I’ve been having - and I see that PA2015 is now an option in the drop down - thanks. But again - I just get a “Your report has been sent, and will be replied to as soon as possible!” page come up - and no email ack that a report has been filed, etc.
-
weird, still nothing and nothing in the logs of the support software… what support page are you sending it from?
You can just send email to support at conexware dot com… it will automatically accept your report and send you ticket number… lets try that!
-
Please check this release for right click, several files extract to filename\ extraction:

Hi wolf… yeah, I installed the 15.02.02 build and the drop menu action now works correctly for multiple archives.
Thanks for the fix!

thanks for reporting it!

Actually - sorry - but something else is broken now ;-).
I went straight to testing extraction of multiple archives, which now works like it used to. Separate folders are created correctly for each archive… However, when extracting just a SINGLE archive - it behaves as if you just used the ‘Extract Here’ drop action. I.e. the contents of the archive are extracted to the current folder - no new folder gets created.
Shall I send an email with the problem report - or is reporting here good enough to get it fixed?

this was reported day after 15.02.04 was released, unfortunately.

Are you able to give a rough estimate of when a fix will be released?

You can help us test it here:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150301.exeWe still did not have time to test it properly, so it would be helpful… thanks!
-
in initial testing it seems to be working fine, looking forward to your confirmation :)
