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.
PowerArchiver does not group like other windows

Hi, I use PowerArchiver regular, but there’s still a very annoying bug with the interface under Windows XP.
With PowerArchiver 9.5 BETA 2 The program window did align only it’s width. Not the height, so lot’s of empty space when managing all Windows to get aligned. The New PowerArchiver 9.5 beta 3 doesn’t do anything now when I use the taskbar to align all open windows. The PA window disappears to the background
Please fix this asap

Hi,
i am not sure if we can do much. This seems to be Delphi issue with Windows feature or rather Windows not supporting Delphi application. Same happens with basic “Hello world” type app created in Delphi 7.
If anyone has more info on the subject, please let us know. I remember checking this out when you first reported it.
thanks,

there is an option in windows xp just like windows 2000 and 98 to have preset defaults on window sizings. Maybe he has these set by another program.

I searched the net some more on this issue. Found this interesting info. Delphi make use of a hidden main window. Somehow Windows does recognize this behaviour. I hope the code can get rewritten so that you can actually tile PowerArchiver Windows.
Notice the behaviour got worse after PowerArchiver 9.2. Now on tile the PowerArchiver windows are only bring to front. No window size movement or size changes. -
It seems this issue still exists in PowerArchiver 11.
I have found some links with more info and tips to solve this issue:

i think only way to solve it will be once we update to newer version of delphi, hopefully for PA 2011…
