    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

    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.

      Under the View menu it works fine. It happens when I try to change it in the configuration window.

      I tested a bit and it seems that PA locks up “directly” (with the text in the status bar) if an archive is opened. If no archive is opened then it seems that just nothing happend. PA seems still to work then. You can go to the configuration window again and see that a classic skin is still selected but the “Modern Toolbar” is now checked at the same time. You can go throug some menus in the toolbar but PA doesn’t seem to work properly. For example PA doesn’t open archives if I try to open in the toolbar or menu bar.

      got it…yep, when archive is opened and we check modern toolbar in config> skins. Thanks!

        Btw is it possible to switch back to the file icons of PA 2015? Because I’m used to it and for now I don’t really like the new ones.

          I just found another bug.

          Some archives with the extension .rar, .tar, .zip (maybe files with other extensions as well) don’t have the option “Extract here” in the shell menu although it is set in the configurations. I couldn’t figure out so far why it affects some archives with said extensions and others don’t. And for that archives where the “Extract here” entry is missing, when I click on “Extract to [filename]” the “Open with” dialouge of Windows appears and wants me to choose a program for opening the file, where PA is pre selected.

              Under View, there is Icon Set option, check Original and that will switch back to old icons.

                I mean the ones in the Windoes Explorer, not in PA itself.

                  Here I have 2 .zip files. One has the option “Extract Here”, the other has not. For the one that has the option “Extract here” the files are extracted as intended when click on "Extract to [filename]. For the other just the “Open with” window of Windows comes up.

                      After saving the Comment, only the Initial letter of the first word of the comment appears. This is whether or not Comments are docked.

                            The problems I mentioned are gone with the new version. But I found another bug. PA seems to have problems with multi volume .rar files (*.part1.rar, *.part2.rar etc.). Whenever I open such a file, PA asks for the next volume even if it exists in the same folder. And it displays the volume name in many chinese characters although there are nothing asian characters in the file or in the file name. To view the archive I just have to click on cancel or on ok for every volume.

                                            In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
                                            Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.

                                              In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
                                              Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.

                                              we will see if we can add that, Toolbar is all new now. Thanks!

                                                Using Select All via CTRL+A or menu does NOT work at All in Classic GUI or Modern Ribbon GUI if “Use Checkboxes for filelists” is enabled!

                                                        can you send over screenshot of what you get with fonts in .49? It saves font size/type in listviews, but works fine for me on default settings… maybe cabbed .reg file as well so we can reproduce?

                                                        many thanks!!!

                                                          Ok,
                                                          Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
                                                          Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.

                                                          Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.
                                                          Disable “Use Checkboxes” everything remains fine.

                                                          BTW, can the next forum upgrade include support for WebP images please!

                                                              Since this seems to be the PA 16 bug thread…

                                                              1. Updated to PA 16.00.46 from auto update of PA 2015 required new license key without any warning that I noticed. That would be really annoying if I wasn’t already on support and perpetual licenses.

                                                              2. Launch the PowerArchiver Encryption Suite, Click Encrypt Files, click the Red X to close window and get an Access Violation dialog. On Win 10 November 2015 x64 Enterprise Edition.

                                                              3. Select a group of files in File Explorer and pick Compress To…|Compress With Options… and get the PA 2016 status dialog over top of the options dialog and clicking the options dialog doesn’t bring it to front - the status dialog is always over top the options dialog (!). Have to drag options dialog out from under status dialog. (Note: This may be (partially) related to my having DisplayFusion running and set to move new windows to the monitor my mouse cursor is on and I have two monitors.)

                                                                        As to the PAES crash, cant reproduce here. Can you please export your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverINT to the reg file, cab it and send it over to support at conexware dot com. That way we might be able to reproduce it.

                                                                          Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
                                                                          Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.

                                                                          Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.
                                                                          Disable “Use Checkboxes” everything remains fine.

                                                                          BTW, can the next forum upgrade include support for WebP images please!

                                                                          My previous bug report (check original post for screenshot) remains in build 50 and “Use Checkboxes” disabled or enabled has nothing to do with it.

                                                                          In options:
                                                                          Browsing View set to Details = Buggy
                                                                          Browsing View set to List = fine
                                                                          Browsing View set to Thumbnails = fine

                                                                          After switching to Thumbnails and then back to Details, Details is fine until PA closed and restarted again. Once PA is loaded things are missing again.

                                                                          Haven’t really found a workaround for the missing items in the Tree pane either :(

I will check with Ivan if he can take a look at this tomorrow since it is a larger issue. I can reproduce it with your reg at any time so thats good!

                                                                            edit: if you move to Classic Light skin for few days, that will work. It only happens with Classic Dark skin.

                                                                                    keep looking at that options issue if it happens again, not sure if that was intentional fix since it was just reported yesterday.

                                                                                    As to the PAES crash, cant reproduce here. Can you please export your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverINT to the reg file, cab it and send it over to support at conexware dot com. That way we might be able to reproduce it.

                                                                                    thanks!

                                                                                    Emailed cab file with reg key as well.

This Only affects Classic mode and not Modern Ribbon mode from my experiments.

In Modern mode (Modern Dark\White skin), Open archive droplist list everything matches perfectly!

                                                                                        The Extract dropdown lists are perfect across the board so far.

                                                                                          This Self-Extracting archive was created using PowerArchiver 2013

                                                                                          Can you add environment variables like %ProgramFiles% to the Default extraction path area too? I just tried this and it didn’t automatically show C:\Program Files\ but instead %ProgramFiles%

                                                                                                            I have been looking to somehow get the same style of icons, but it is hard to find. These were custom designed by our old icon designer Maria that unfortunately died from terminal disease few years ago :-(.

                                                                                                            New ones were designed by our friends at Reset Web design but it is very different style from Original set.

                                                                                                            1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                                                                                i know… we are finally making use of it. I am not sure if we should rename it to something else though.

                                                                                                                                I like the idea of Slow/Fast ring in Windows 10, but it is kind of hard to translate to 30+ languages and especially at first glance.

                                                                                                                                However Microsoft did popularize the naming so it may be more understandable now.

                                                                                                                                With PowerArchiver 2016, we have made the changes that allow us to publish weekly updates for instance when needed. Basically same thing we have been doing on forums since .33 was initially announced up until now with latest being .60.

                                                                                                                                Any ideas, anyone?
