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!

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 Not prompting for Password

I created an encrypted 7z archive out of a few old Word docs and had it move them into the archive and then delete the originals when done. That part worked OK but I’m having a problem that it is NOT asking for the password when I open the archive. There is nothing saved for it in Password Manager. I even copied that 7z archive to a NAS drive and opened it with a different PA install on another computer and it also didn’t ask for a password…
Obviously that is a problem. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

@bigdog encrypt filenames should work fine in 18.01.03 now… please check it out, thanks!
-
@bigdog is the archive actually encrypted? Can you extract the files without password? Thanks!
-
I tried it again and it does seem to prompt before actually extracting the files which is some relief. However it does show the filenames in the archive without any password entered which it should not be doing if they filenames are encrypted.

Filename encryption is optional… so try it again and make sure it is checked in Add window?
Also, .pa format is a bit more secure than 7z, you can also try that too - both better security and compression are the benefits.
thanks!

Yep it was checked (tried it twice) and still didn’t encrypt the filenames when I moved them into the 7z archive. I know pa is supposed to be more secure but for these particular files needed to use a format that was more universal so went with 7z.
Anyway if you could take a look at why it is not encrypting the file names when moving files (and deleting originals if that makes a difference) into a 7z archive, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

where are you doing it from? When I first replied, I checked before via compress + options in shell extensions and it has worked correctly. There are many different ways you can do it in PA, so just making sure I tried the same as you did.
thank you!
-
I select the files and then right click PowerArchiver->Encrypt and then it opens PA where I can select options
It then moves them to the 7z archive and deletes the originals (like it should). I go to open that newly created 7z archive and it opens, displaying the filenames without prompting for a password. As you can see in the previous screenshot, encrypt filenames is checked but here is what it shows when I open it.
-
thanks, got it now… you can use shell extensions in between the fix, they properly hide the filename (compress + options instead of encrypt, and just select options there).
-
Any idea when there might be a fixed version for it?
Thanks

Not yet, but as i said earlier, instead of find encrypt in shell, do compress with options (with same encrypt options) and it will work just fine.
Thanks!
