    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?

    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.

      Using the Archive Converter:

      Converting to BH with Maximum Compression creates archives LARGER than using BH with Normal Compression. :eek:

      Plus:
      Normal Compression produces NO CRC errors.
      Maximum Compression produces MANY CRC errors. :(

      But none of these things happen when creating a NEW BH Archive from the main interface.

      Spwolf? Ivan? :(

          The conversion filesize problem is not fixed in 9.5 beta 4

          Original Folder containing 22 text files [1.22 MB (1,290,114 bytes)]

          (all using explorer shell)
          Compress Folder to BH (normal) -> 376 KB (385,716 bytes)
          Compress Folder to BH (maximum) -> 374 KB (383,220 bytes)

          Compress Folder to TAR.Bz2 -> 310 KB (317,779 bytes)

          Convert Bz2 to BH (normal) -> 376 KB (385,716 bytes)
          Convert Bz2 to BH (maximum) -> 1.25 MB (1,310,720 bytes)

            Terry, it is not fixed for me either!

            Also, the more you convert from another format to BH and back, and then back again to BH, the bigger the archive gets. :eek:

            And try this one , Terry:
            Try BH with the compression setting at NONE. I get the same compression results as in the NORMAL setting.

              This only happens with TAR.Bz2

              • it does NOT happen converting from TAR.Gz, Zip, Cab or 7z.

              Try BH with the compression setting at NONE. I get the same compression results as in the NORMAL setting.

              Confirmed.

                “None” setting does not exist in BH, we will remove it in next release. Thanks for checking up with other problem.

                    Tried beta 5 with a folder containing 11 text files [70kB (71692 bytes)]

                    (all using explorer shell)
                    Compress Folder to BH (none) -> 71.0 KB (72786 bytes)
                    Compress Folder to BH (normal) -> 9.64 KB (9881 bytes)
                    Compress Folder to BH (maximum) -> 9.60 KB (9840 bytes)

                    Compress Folder to TAR.Bz2 -> 4.82 KB (4942 bytes)

                    Convert Bz2 to BH (none) -> 71.0 KB (72786 bytes) => OK
                    Convert Bz2 to BH (normal) -> 9.64 KB (9881 bytes) => OK

                    Convert Bz2 to BH (maximum) -> 80.0 KB (81920 bytes) => NOT OK :(

                    So, “none” setting is OK
                    But still problem with conversion to BH “maximum”.

                        Same problem in beta 6.

                        I can confirm this! Something is wrong with the converting process here. (It may have more to do with Bzip.Tar than .BH, but then, I am partial to .BH.) Nothing has been corrected from the previous betas. Beta 6 still has problems.

                        Also, some mp3 files archived with 7 Zip and then encoded to UU or XX still will not open in Beta 6. Please Help!
