<![CDATA[Powerarchiver 2021 incorrectly extract tar.xz file]]>Configuration:
Powerarchiver 2021 20.00.73
Windows 10 Education 10.0.19042 Build 19042

When extracting gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz , Powerarchiver wrongly thinks some .exe files have a length of zero:

98773b3b-65c0-48fa-8cd4-d081b2e0adee-image.png

Once extracted:

 Volume in drive D is DATA

When the same archive is being extracted from a git bash session (after having installed git 2.30.1 for Windows 64 bit version from git-scm.com), the .exe files are extracted as expected:

xz -k -d gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar xf gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar
cd gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin

The same archive file does extract properly under a native Linux Ubuntu 20.04 system, or under Windows 10 using the WSL2 Linux subsystem using xz and tar.

I’ve never been able to figure out what’s going on so I’ve never reported it.
For instance I often get messsages asking if I want to overwrite that suggest maybe some files are being extracted twice or that the paths are interpreted weirdly to mean several files end up in the same place.
