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.

YEnc Decoder
-
It looks like PowerArchiver will encode yEnc file but NOT decode them–-at least I haven’t gotten it to.
Anyone know if it will or should?
Also has anyone found a better yEnc decoder than yEnc32.exe?Note:
unfortunately Newgroups still use yEnc extensively although god only knows WHY! -
Yenc support was added in PA8.50 (see whatsnew.txt).
It “recognises” Yenc files using file extension “ntx”.
Can you give more details of your problem with decoding?
I just tried to encode and then decode a jpg (using PA 9.2 beta) - worked fine :confused: -
Hi Terry,
What I’m looking at (Saved attachments files from a Newsgrooup) are a series of files with .001, .002, .003 extensions and then some .par2 files which verify the series. These are not proper RAR files as you might think from the numbered extension but in fact yEnc encoded files.
When all the parts are complete the various Newsreaders will automatically decode them. If a part is incomplete and I have to use something like Quickpar to repair one of the numbered files using the downloaded .par2** file–-That is where I have problems. At that point the Newsreader itself in not going to decompress the series and the only stand-alone decompressor I have that understands these files–yEnc32.exe is old, no longer supported and doesn’t seem to work on current yEnc encoded files.
**and that is the purpose of these .par2 file–to repair incomplete segments.
So far I haven’t found that PA–I’m using PA9 has any ability with these files—not even the ones a newsreader like NewsRover or Agent Forte is able to decompresses successfully.
BTW:
When you’re looking at a series of files with a .ntx extension are they .nt1, .nt2, .nt3 because Newgroup attachment in a series generally all have the same filename with a discrete numbered extension as I describe above…eg., file.001, file.002, file.003…etc
renaming the series to file1.ntx, file2.ntx, file3.ntx results in
“unknown.001” error when loaded into PA9
renameing the series to file.nt1, file.nt2, file.nt3 results in
“unrecognized compression format” errorAnd again:
This is simply the Defacto standard compression format for Newsgroup files with compressed attachments. It’s archiac but that’s what you get. -
So basically what you are saying is that PA 9.2 does not support these file.001 yENC files?
What we could do is check it out for 9.5 and add support for it? I know how newsgroups work, people posting love simply changing the rules of the game all the time :-).
thanks,
-
I’d be glad to check out PA9.5 from this end although I have no idea where to locate that verson–assume it’s an internal beta.
BTW. PA9 2 does offer to encode yEnc files. I don’t know that the yEnc compression standard has changed but the .par verification files have. The new .par2 files will not process with legacy versions of Quickpar or Smartpar. Trying to find “current” yEnc ecode/decode details on the WWW is like looking for hens teeth in a chicken coop.
I consider PA to be a forerunner in PC file compression Applicatons and with a resurgence of Newsgroups–now being used for Filesharing more than community correspondence–I wonder why folks don’t use more current and mainstream compression technology.

No
Current release version is 9.2 - 9.5 will be the next release version.I think/hope this was a :p
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610Regarding PAR2 & Yenc files - I don’t know.
Maybe your newsgroup has a FAQ which covers this?
