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

Installing 17.01.06 enabled PowerArchiver Queue when it should have left it disabled as I had it before.
Later: In fact every time I reboot I now find PA Queue is re-enabled. :-(
-
Thanks @Brian-Gregory
It enables queue when starter is selected to start at reboot, even though queue has been disabled.

Is there any way I can tell PowerArchiver that when using the .PA format I want it to treat certain file extensions as if they were some other file extension? For instance, I want it to treat .EML, .68H and .ASM as if they were .TXT.

Why when restoring settings from the cloud does 17.01.06 fail to restore very much as all.
I made the mistake of trying 18.00.11 which I view as being as good as unusable since it always prompts with a nag screen.
The when I reinstalled 17.01.06 I had no effective way to get my settings back from your cloud.
Maybe some of them are restored but most are not. Even obvious things like the window position, size and columns on the screen are just not restored. That could only have been missed if absolutely zero testing was done.
I don’t understand why you’re even working on a version 18 when version 17 is still so unfinished.

@brian-gregory we can add them as default, otherwise you cant do it manually now… are they text files always?
-
@brian-gregory nothing computer specific is saved on purpose, since it might not work at all at different resolution. IE if you have one computer with 4k screen, it would render PA at 1080p screen unusable. We actually saved everything before, but user reports from similar problems made us scale back whats saved.
So if you want 1:1 save, export reg settings and save it.
If there is something else that you want saved, let us know. Thanks!

Most often but not always text files. You could add EML (emails in mime format) and ASM (assembler source files) but 68H is very specific to me.
How do I do it manually? Is it the preview settings?

It seemed like nothing worth mentioning was saved.
Or maybe everything that was saved was things I leave as the default.Can’t you save it all and check when restoring for different screen resolution etc that means some of it isn’t applicable.
Do you save everything and strip it out when restoring?
That would be better than nothing because I could just manually restore by double-clicking the file. -
Ahem. -----
-
@brian-gregory i have to move it to separate post and check it out

@spwolf I meant:

and
Do you save everything and strip it out [what might cause trouble] when restoring?
-
So you’re just NEVER going to tell me how to do it???

If you use Options> Export to local file, it seems like everything gets saved.
Can you tell me what settings did not get restored for you via Cloud?
