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

Where are various settings store . . . e.g. ftp, etc.

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. -
Hi Dear,
Cannot login and request resend license code for my fd
UNSOLVED PA 19.00.43...47 stops me moving .tar.xz, .tar.gz, .7z and .iso files.
-
PA 19.00.43 stops me moving .tar.xz files.
They have to stay in my download directory (or wherever they are) until I uninstall PA!
(I’m running Windows 7 x64)
Later: Found out that if I wait some minutes (around 5 mins I think) after opening source folder PA eventually releases the file and it can be moved.
Later still: Seems to have stopped doing it now?!
Next day: It’s doing it again! -
Still happening in .44
-
Getting same problem with .7z files too.
-
Tested by creating a tar.xz archive in the Downloads directory and was able to successfully move it to another folder.
Should we test another way so that we may reproduce this? Please let us know.
Also please send over your settings to support, we’ll import those as well as there maybe a setting that causes it.Thanks for letting us know.
-
@Mili Maybe it’s Windows 7 and/or 64 bit specific. I think refreshing the explorer window that shows the file makes it do it (again?). It may be Windows 7 and/or 64 bit specific.
Same problem present with .tar.gz as well. -
@Mili Are you still unable to reproduce this?
-
Same problem wirh .iso files too.
-
Any news about fixing this? It can be really annoying.
-
Hey, sorry for the delay.
No luck reproducing so far, gonna give it another go and report back -
Funny… Isn’t the virus scanner locking the file? I tried everything to reproduce, but no luck. Any change you can use a locking tool to see what process is locking the file?

It says they’re locked by SearchProtocolHost.exe.

@Brian-Gregory SearchProtocolHost.exe is part of windows and generates indexes for faster search. As a test, you could disable the index for the downloads folder. Turn of the checkmark below and try again.
-
I’m using Windows 7.
Well I changed some settings to tell it not to try and index the conetnts of the file types I was having a problem with and re-make the index and so far so good.
I was waiting for the complete index to be rebuilt but it’s taking days!
But it looks like that’s cured the problem.
Thank you.
-
Well that’s just typical.
As soon as I say it seems to be fixed it does it again.But this this time ProcessExplorer says no process has locked the file!
But it won’t move in to the recycle bin!
WTF? -
I hate Windoze SO MUCH at the moment.

WTF?What if, at that point, you restart the computer? Is it still locked after trying to delete it immediately after restarting?

Yes restarting fixes it. Also waiting a few minutes fixes it. Plus it doesn’t do it anywhere near as often at the moment but I don’t know if that’s because of the settings I changed or because it still rebuilding the indexes. The process that builds the indexes seems to be fixed to use about 25% of one thread and produces only the tiniest barely visable flickers in the hard drive activety light. :(
-
I’m trying running with the Indexing Service disabled on both my PCs now because it’s useless and just sticks on certain files which there is no easy way to identify.
I don’t think I’m going to miss it because I already tend to use WHERE /r from the command line to find files since it usually gets results much quicker anyway.
