    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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?

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    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)

    PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

        As 9.5 is in beta, today (08.08.2005) the official version is 9.25, so that would be the version you buy.

        Note: Although your license code would need to be changed for 9.5 (even for the beta) it is straightforward, see the “news” page for details of this.

          Yes, the most important is that the upgrade from 9.25 to 9.5 is free. :)

              Everyone who purchased PA from 1st of August 2005 will get free upgrade to PA2006 even if they are Business license users (purchase will count as if they purchased PA2006).

              thanks,

                How far back will a free upgrade to PA 2006 be considered? I don’t recall having an account page and using my email I got my serial from does not result in a password being sent to it.

                      I am one of these old users and I just contacted your company about obtaining this account so I can get a new reg code and the email back asks me for my address and phone number. This kind of sent up a red flag, so I would like that request to be verified here by an administrator before I send that in.

                      As you can tell, I’m a little paranoid that my email somehow didn’t reach you and someone else is digging for my information. And please also tell me why this info is needed, thanks. Please don’t take this as an attack. I just try to be careful with my information during these times when information is stolen from hacked computers on a daily basis and spam emails and trojans try to get one to reveal bank accounts and the like.

                      Oh, and strangely enough SpamPal flagged this email for some reason- I’m glad I check my junk folder to make sure it’s junk.

                        Hi,

                        we lost registration information for some of the first users we had (around 100), which is why we need full info from them again. Phone number is not really needed, it is just something you enter. Address is needed for our database reasons. Originally, it was needed for credit card processing company.

                        It is very hard to verify anything if we dont have basic address information. This info is absolutly not shared with anyone or anybody and will never be used unless we need to verify some change (for instance you changed emails or similar).

                        thanks!
