    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.

    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
    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.

      I am new to this prgram and i had 15 large folders that I needed zipped individually. There are hundereds of files in each of the 15 folder all with many subfolders. In the end, I was expecting to end up with a total of 15 Zip files. One for each folder.

      So I used your batch zip too to do it and after waiting a very long time i found out that it zipped every single file within all the folders and subfolders seperatly.

      I didn’t want thousands of diferent zip files each with a single file! :mad: What kinda censoredcensoredcensoredcensored is that. What kinda idiot would want that? Why would you even program it to do spmething like that? Are you guys mental? :eek: It should have gave me 15 zip files with a folder in each one. I chose it to save the files in the same location as it is using. Do you know how much time it is gonna take me to go through very folder and subfolder and subfolder to get all of the zips so that I can re do it with WINZIP!!! :mad: YOU HERE ME……WINZIP!!!

      It’s a good thing I didn’t pay for this stupid program. I was gonna buy it but I know see it is censoredcensoredcensoredcensoredty programming

      Thanks a lot for nothing

          If the original folders didn’t contain any ZIP files, why not just search for all ZIP files and delete the search results. If they did already contain ZIP files, search for ZIP’s created after a certain date/time (ie. after you originally started the PA batch operation). Couldn’t be easier!

          I do agree the current behaviour is a bit odd though. I have a funny feeling the behaviour you require (ie. create separate archives for each folder) is on the wishlist. Maybe for 9.5!

            If you use batch zip, it will create an zip file out of each file added to the list. If you add 10,000 files, it will create 10,000 zips.

            There is even an warning in help file - “Please use Add Folders with caution - if you add your Program Files folder, you could create thousands of archives.”

            :-).

            As deipotent mentioned, by using windows explorer and its search function you can easily find and delete those zip files.

            regards,

              I must appoligize for my outburst yesterday. It was just that I spent hours reorganizing all of those folders and was too lazy to zip then induvidually myself. I did see the warning, but I thought when I read your help file and it said you can click add file ti add, or add folder to add, I assumed if you clicked add folder it would just make that folder one by itself. I guess not. It would be nice to be able to do that though. It would be very helpfull.

              I’ve been playing around with the program and it does have some nice features that winzip does not. One thing that I lke iis the explorer style view. I like being able to see all the subfolders.

              One question though. Why is it that when I open a file, it take like 5 seconds to read it, then dsplayes it. And if I click on a different folder in it it needs to read it again, each time. If I open it in winRar it is instant. Is there a reason for this?

              Thank you, and sorry again for the trash talk

                Hi,

                Explorer view is still a bit slower when handling larger number of files. We are hoping to improve it for 9.5 version. We cant be perfect, what would be left for next versions? :-).

                thanks,
