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

Solved Missing "NEW" in shell commands PA Explorer
-
This is the collection of shell commands in an Explorer :
And this is actually in PA Explorer 2017_91 :
So if you want to create an new folder/subfolder you have to open a standard explorer…
-
-
Maybe I’m missing something, but its working ok here.
-
@skypx with version 2017.91 ?
-
@pirrbe yes I’m using the latest version. I even did a clean install because the update from .90 was kinda wonky.
-
@skypx I did a ‘fast’ upgrade… Curious if other users have the same problem and that it is not an isolated prob on my PA install. But Win10 explorer and Opus Pro explorer works, only PA is handicapped :-(.
-
@pirrbe maybe something with x86 version of Windows?
-
@spwolf sceptic, external explorers contains ‘new’ function. Only my PA explorer is missing it. I’m sure in 17008x there was no problem. Not sure it was missing in 17009x… so, a full installation ? mmmm, :-( means again extra running
of batches -
-
@spwolf ok, will wait for results before a new ‘slow ring’ install…
Here info on PAshellext that’s running now on my X86:
-
tested here on an x86 system, worked fine. hm…
-
@mili indeed hmmm… , uninstalled 91 and installed 90 but same problem : no NEW shell for folder creation. Now back on 91. Forget this problem, I will use external explorers to create new folders/subs.
-
@pirrbe to complete this mystery : configuring clouds in PA (attachementcloud), no problems to create a new folder or sub. ??? (subfolder test created…)
-
@pirrbe Ac is completely different.
can you post full picture of where you dont get new, so we see full PA window? maybe we will get the idea.
i noticed how in root of my pc and Libraries folders, you cant create new folder, but thats correct behaviour, works everywhere else on my x86 win10 tablet
-
@spwolf Indeed, if I point an empty space in PA explorer, I have identical shells as skypx and you. But the problem in PA explorer is when you point on an existing folder and want to create a sub-folder… there PA explorer shell misses the ‘NEW’ function.
Creation of a new folder through PA explorer : no problem
Creation of a subfolder through PA explorer : missing NEW
Maybe some confusion of my first post remark ‘folder/subfolder’… problem is only related to creation of subfolders trough PA explorer :-( -
@pirrbe I get exactly the same in Windows Explorer too… there is no New> in Windows Explorer either, at least on my own version of Win10.
-
you can get the New Folder option when clicking on an empty space in explorer window. If your folder/subfolder is full of files, move all the way down to the bottom and click the empty space under the last file and the New Folder option will be available
-
@mili Hi Mili, it’s Monday say maybe you got a ‘hard late outdoor’ weekend and didn’t read well my above post with the two screenshots with BOLD titles
Creation of a new folder through PA explorer : no problem
Creation of a subfolder through PA explorer : missing NEWResume : in PA Explorer no problems to create a new folder through shell ‘NEW’ command, but select an existing folder and try then to create a new sub. IMPOSSIBLE : suddenly the NEW shell command is missing in PA Explorer !!!
-
in the screenshot I posted with the New Folder option available, isn’t it occurring in a subfolder, giving me an option to create another new folder/subfolder?
-
ps. weekends are for amateurs :)))
-
@mili :-))))) through PA explorer select any folder and try to create a subfolder… good luck. Or just create a new folder and then try to create a subfolder… good luck too… :-)
-
@pirrbe said in Missing "NEW" in shell commands PA Explorer:
@mili :-))))) through PA explorer select any folder and try to create a subfolder… good luck. Or just create a new folder and then try to create a subfolder… good luck too… :-)
what Mili is saying is that you can enter folder and click on empty space to get new option.
As I mentioned before, when I select folder in Windows Explorer, I do NOT get the New option either. Maybe some other software is adding New option for you?
-
@spwolf to avoid any misunderstanding : you mean that you cannot even create subfolders trhough Windows Explorer on your win10… ??? And Mili ? Or other co-workers ? I wonder what’s the situation of other users. I never experienced that problem, even after the recent latest upgrade of MS Win10. :-(. Other fact : an old bug is back concerning config setting fields. But is this now related to this mismatch stuff of win10<>PA or resurrection in PA after new release. I still report them ?

I can create them if I click on empty space and then new.
If I right click on folder, there is no New option in both Windows Explorer and PA. Thats on both of my Win10 computers. Maybe someone else can chime on their own setups.
-
-
@skypx ? Strange, but how did or do you create subfolders ? I only use shell commands for it :-)
-
Google or bing for “missing shell command new folder in win10”.
A lot of win users got this problem ! -
@pirrbe
I have always done it the long way. Just old school I guess. -
@skypx that’s even faster :-) and if you don’t use shell commands, you don’t even have to fix your registry :-)))))))))))))))))))
