    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    T

    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).

    T

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue:

    No Icons for SFX-Archives

    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.

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D

    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?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    PA 2023 Toolbox - 22.00.09 - Remove archive encryption
    PA_FanP

    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?

    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09

    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.

      PowerArchiver 9.20 is unable to extract both files in this archive. It will extract only the HTML file. It complains that it is part of a spanned archive, but it is not. Microsoft Windows XP integrated ZIP is able to extract the file

      http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2000.ZIP

      I reported this before but it isn’t fixed in 9.20 final!

        its the ttf file thats causing the problem on testing with pa it sayes the s same error message above but if you test it and click on the ok button a few times it sayes archives is ok.

        I even created a repaire archive and that failed ttf file was again the problem

        winzip and winrar passed ok extracting these files.

        must be a problem with the.

        Hold on a moment WHAT ZIP UTILITY DID YOU USE TO CREATE IT. I JUST EXTRCTED THE FILES USING WINZIP AND THEN WITH WINZIP AND PA I CREATED A NEW ZIP FILES AND IT WORKED EXTRCTION OK SO IT CAN’T BE THE FILES UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ZIP BUT WINZIP SAYES OK TO THE ARCHIVE STRANGE.

        hAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT PROGRAM CREATED THE ZIP. hOWEVER FIXING THE ARCHIVE FAILS IT STILL REPRODUCES THE SAME FAULT.

          It’s doesn’t appear to be a problem with DynaZip either because I had no trouble extracting both files with another app that uses the DZ library. It’s possible they’re using differnt versions of the DZ library though.

          EDIT: The problem also exists with 9.20.04 (ie. beta 1).

              It is an problem with newer DynaZip library, but I dont know what exactly is causing it… It has to be something very specific to the archive.

              We are checking it out.

                                I dont think it is that common at all - I have been checking it while waiting for response from dynazip, and this particular file did not work for past 3 versions of PA, and it is the only file I know so far that doesnt work with PA, without any proper explanation.

                                    Omniquad AntiSpy DefMain.zip will cause the same error i get with my file.

                                    If you right click and try to extract the archive it will fail to extract the archive fully
                                    If you open the archive then select all contents and drag them to a folder it will error with text "Unexpected end of Zip file. probably the file is corrupt or missing spanned file.
                                    Then you will notice all file in zip are gone then in the archive.
                                    Then close powerarchiver and crash you are there.

                                      I have a zip archive containing 3 files: an exe, html, and txt. I attempt to extract the exe to a shared folder. It goes through the extraction process, but the file is not visible in the destination folder. If I extract again, it confirms whether I want to overwrite. i.e. the file is somehow there, but not accessible or visible. I have tried extracting to various folders with the same result. In each case I am opening the archive before processing. I tried the same archive with WZ, and it extracted OK.

                                          Here i found one that causes my error that i can release.

                                          Omniquad AntiSpy DefMain.zip will cause the same error i get with my file.

                                          If you right click and try to extract the archive it will fail to extract the archive fully
                                          If you open the archive then select all contents and drag them to a folder it will error with text "Unexpected end of Zip file. probably the file is corrupt or missing spanned file.
                                          Then you will notice all file in zip are gone then in the archive.
                                          Then close powerarchiver and crash you are there.

                                          Sounds great - can you send us an link to the file?

                                          thanks!

                                            :confused:
                                            Is the name correct? I went to http://www.ominquad.com
                                            On their download page AntiSpy file is named TSAntiSpy.zip and extracts OK
                                            Also tried TSPassword.zip - also extracts OK.

                                            I cannot see a DefMain.zip there?

                                              Yes the software is correct.
                                              http://www.omniquad.com/TotalSecurity/TSAntiSpy.zip

                                              Download their antispyware solution. then install it
                                              Update the signature database then look C:\Program Files\Omniquad Total Security\AntiSpy\Sig\Defmain.zip it is their signature database.
