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.
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-23-1165/

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.
Archive Converter

The Archive Converter hangs at the very end and won’t close when archiving files over 300 mb.
I’ve tried it with zip, 7zip and bh (of course).I am using 9.50.22 beta 3 version on Windows XP Home Edition.
Terry, can you verify?
Also, there’s a typo in Options – Configuation – Compress and Encrypt.
:cool: Power Archiver is spelled wrong. :eek: -

Unless you are referring to the Archiver Converter Dialogue remaining open after the “Conversion Complete” dialogue. Thus you need to also press Close button. Not sure if this is a “hang” or if it is intentional (to read throught the log if required).
By the way, what is the OK button in the Archiver Converter Dialogue used for :confused:

This I can confirm.

Today, trying the converter with the very same files as before, it works 3 out of 4 times.
I wonder if my antivirus program is tying things up? Well, I’ll work with it for a while. Anyway, thanks again, Terry! :cool: -
OK, no problem.
Edit: except for the spelling mistake :eek:
-
While we’re on the topic of the archive converter, can’t you guys make it so that once the archive is converted, the archive converter dialog is closed automatically, instead of us having to manually click on close all the time.
-
i like it open as i have to convert several archives at opnce and don’t want a batch conversion
-
Well, how about we have an option that asks if we want the Converter Wizard to be closed after operation is complete? That way, it works for both of us.
-
I couldn’t reproduce the converting problem.
Automatic closing we shall make for next release.
Spelling mistake will be fixed for BETA 4.
Thanks!
