W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

SOLVED Taskbar Progress Bar
-
Hello
Most of the times Taskbar Progress bar does not show while extracting or compressing
-
@shahin thanks for your report… seems like it works here on our test computer. Might be somehow related to some setting - can you export your settings via Options menu please and send them to the support at conexware dot com? That way we can test with same settings.
Thank you!
-
@spwolf
you’re WelcomeDone
-
@shahin thanks - with your settings, it does not work here either, so easily reproduced!
-
@spwolf
what’s wrong with my settings? -
@shahin there is nothing wrong with them, something is causing the issue, i wrote in the report and dev team will take a look and hopefully fix. Thanks!
-
Thank You

I’ve found some news about this issue
If Run Powerarchiver as administrator once, taskbar Progress bar won’t work anymore.
If I extract an archive directly from explorer taskbar progress bar works.
If I Open an archive with PowerArchiver and then extract it, Taskbar Progress bar won’t work.
I hope it can help you

What file are you trying to compress, extension? That will let us know what codex it is using.
And do you get error message?

@spwolf
A folder that contains JPG files, No errors, Just a 0 byte PA file creates -
@Shahin can you try just a single jpeg and see if that works at extreme?
-
@spwolf
a single JPG Compressed with extreme settings
something’s strange, previously folder that failed to be compressed, now compressed successfully -
If you happen to come across a JPG that gives the 0kb file, please send it to us at support at conexware dot com, if possible and we’ll try reproducing it here as well so that we can log it in for fixing.
Thanks!

it only works in classic toolbar, you cant select buttons in ribbon/modern toolbar like that. Thanks!

every time opening PowerArchiver a folder named “PowerArchiver 2018 (64-bit) (Unregistered)” is created in “C:\Users*\AppData\Roaming”. what’s this?
-
@shahin
Just deleted mine and it hasn’t come back.
I think it’s something to do with the Ribbon toolbar, stick with the Classic Skins for now -

I think it’s something to do with the Ribbon toolbar, stick with the Classic Skins for nowwe use Microsoft SDK for Ribbon interface, it creates a temp folder with its settings required to initialize the interface. It is the way it works.
It is much faster than previous custom modern toolbar, so it is overall much better.

@Shahin if there is some other issue, lets open up new thread for it… closing this one. Thanks!
