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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
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.
PA 2006 cannot properly handle this ZIP file…

Download the widget at http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=36155
If you open it, you will notice that some characters are not properly displayed. If you try to extract it, you get an error.
Windows XP, SP2

Yes, the filenames for Icon files are using “strange” characters.
If you enable “Use OEM conversion for filenames” (Options/Miscellaneous) it does work.
Note: PA reported another problem with the cache.jpg file [“check file is not in use”] - but the file actually extracted OK.EDIT - sorry, with the OEM option set, the icon files are still NOT extracted.

Hello? Devs?

I can’t download it - is the link correct?

Hi Ivan,
The link takes you to the website then you have to click the download link about mid-way down. I did it that way so people would know what it is they are downloading.
Here is a direct link http://www.widgetgallery.com/dl_r.php?widget=36155&platform=win

Just to clarify, no utility I have tried will extract “cleanly” from that widget zip.
I think the naming problem is making it too damaged. -
What should PA do? I see the problem with ZIP archive as any other utility?

WinZip does extract all files from that archive without any problems. PowerArchiver should do the same.

@awo:

Not quite - WinZip “automatically” renames the icon files - I admit it does this silently, so that the problem is not obvious, but is this a good thing?
This is why I tried the PA “OEM conversion” flag.Perhaps PA should clarify what the problem is and allow renaming and extraction with this flag set?
-
we will check it out once beta 2 is out.

You can close this thread.
While PA still cannot handle the file, I have discovered that the file works with Konfabulator if I rename the extension to .widget
Therefore, I no longer have a need for PA to be able to handle it.
