    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    T

    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).

    T

    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

    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?

    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.

            due to new issue/project management tool we use, it is easy to export these… it is not 100% list since we had 7 internal releases to get to here but overall yes, it is nice :-)

              Hi,

              I have not been using PowerArchiver for a while and decided to use it again. A few comments.

              The various modules i.e. the burner, backup etch, is it possible to run it with the same theme as the main program when you run them individually?

              In the burner, if you make a cd\dvd from an iso image there seems to be no option to verify the disc? Could it be possible to have an option not to eject the disc once it is burnt?

              Thanks

                they should run with the same theme… if they are not, try changing skin to something else and back to desired skin. Mili will comment about verify.

                  I use the Windows 10 theme, but if I run the dvd burner program separately, it opens with a lot of colourful tiles. If I run the burner from within Powerachiver, then it uses the correct theme

                    The highlighted Options button will bring up an additional options dialog where you can select verify files after burning.

                    Will also check skins when apps are run standalone. thanks!

                      Hi,

                      I have no options when I select the option to burn a disc from an ISO image, if I do a normal burn then the option is there. Could you also add an option not to eject the disc after burning? I have almost damaged by drive because my previous burning software never ejected the disk.

                        We will check if the option to load tray back after burning can be added to ISO burner as well.

                        Also, if you use the “load disc back on finish” option in regular burner, let us know how it worked out of you.

                          Hi,

                          Another function/ability that is missing from PowerArchiver is the ability to extract a exe driver file, like the Intel Chipset drivers, other programs like 7-zip allow you to extract the contents of the exe so you can then manually install the drivers without running the installer. I cant seem to be able to do this with PowerArchiver.

                            Once an EXE installation is opened in PowerArchiver, PowerArchiver will prompt whether to install it or open it.
                            Post a link to the driver’s you found, we’ll take a look.

                            Thanks!
