    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    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

    Better ZPAQ support
    W

    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.

    Bug with "Encrypt Archive" action
    W

    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)

    b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.

      I go into Windows Explorer (on xp pro machine) and click “new”! Then i have the option " New PowerArchiver RAR File"! But PA cant create rar files, can it??
      When i create one, there is a rar file with 0 kB and when i open it there is an error!

      Shortly: In the Widows Explorer Shell there is an option to create rar files with PA! But PA cant create rar! So its a BUUUUUUUUUG!

      Please try it yourself…get sure of this!

            When I’ve tried to reproduce, I can make a ZIP file, but no choice for a RAR file. PA does not currently support the creation of RAR files, only the extraction of them.

              That’s weird!

              You didn’t mess up with the registry did u?

              Look what you have at:
              HKEY_USERS*xxyourcodexx\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\ShellNew*

              I’d be interested in the hex values of PA’s voice…

              if you wanted a “PowerArchiver RAR File” voice, you registry value should be as follows:
              “PowerArchiver RAR File”=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,50,00,

                Hmph, I remember this from before - problem is in Windows, and the fact that you associated PA with RAR. I will ask Ivan to clarify what exactly is the deal is - but as much as I remember - basically WinRAR put an entry there to create new RAR file and since RAR’s are now handled by PA, Windows uses PA’s description for RAR file and writes it in there automatically.

                I dont see what we can do really - since we certainly wont delete WinRar’s entries in registry…

                  Here is what happends:

                  WinRAR creates a registry entry for creating empty-RAR file. Then when you start PowerArchiver it associates with RAR files (because PowerArchiver can extract RAR files). So from this moemnt, all RAR files are called “PowerArchiver RAR file” and when you choose “New” -> “PowerArchiver RAR file”, Windows will use ShellNew key created with WinRAR but call it “PowerArchiver RAR file” since .RAR files are associtated with PowerArchiver.

                  There is nothing we can do here - we cannot create RAR files, but still cannot delete registry keys created by other archive utilties.

                  If you often create RAR archives, then I would suggest you to disable RAR file assciation by PowerArchiver and re-enable it by WinRAR.
