@mili Hi, thank you for the answer.
Actually, yes - also for zip files, this could be improved, by giving the possibility to reenter the password in the “wrong password dialog”. But at least, I’m asked again.
But it’s worse with 7z (which was the format of my archive):
I played a bit around with the options:
If encryption of file names is enabled for the archive, PowerArchiver will behave as described above; e.g. after double clicking the 7z archive and entering a wrong password, I get an error, that the password was wrong and afterwards PowerArchiver doesn’t give me a chance to retry, but opens without the archive.
If encryption of file names is disabled, the behavior won’t be correct either: I open the archive and after trying to open a file in the archive, I’m queried to enter the password. After entering a wrong password, I’ll get a PowerArchiver error, that the respective file from the archive could not be created - possible reasons: File in use, disk full or no write access… Clicking “Yes” in this dialog will lead to the correct “Wrong password” error. I’m not asked to reenter the password
As I often also use RAR archives, I’ve also tested there:
With file name encryption enabled, I get a misleading error, that I should open the first volume of the archive instead of “wrong password”; afterwards the PowerArchiver window opens without giving me the chance to reenter the password or that the password was wrong.
With file name encryption disabled, after trying to open a file from the archive, I get the wrong password error. I’m not asked again.
It’s needless to say, that I would expect, that PowerArchiver would handle this the same for all archive types.
