Unsolved Windows 11 context menu "Open with PowerArchiver" doesn't work
-
In PA 21.0.13, when I try to open an archive with the new Windows 11 context menu item “Open with PowerArchiver”, a PowerArchive instance is opened, but the archive is not loaded.

Win 11 Pro x64… PA 21.0.13 working. Tested Zip and 7Z. When I installed the last RC I opted to associate PA file formats. If you are using the open with Im figuring you have another application set to open archives?
Im trying to figure out what might be different between your situation and mine.

Well, I’ve not associated all archive types. I’ve tested with zip, which has the default Windows association. But I just checked also with 7Z, which is associated with PowerArchiver. And it’s the same here.
Just to make sure, I’m talking of the item “PowerArchiver > Open with PowerArchiver” not of the default Windows “Open with” entry.

Ok I thought it was the Windows Open with menu… I just added the Open with PA to my PA context menu and it does not work.
Since I have PA as my default app, my WIndows 11 top menu has and Open command and Open with (sub menu). So I never even noticed PA had the option to add an Open with PA in its context menu.
But no, you are correct. It just opens PA without opening the archive.
