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.
Still slow in reading archive folders?

Hello,
I’m reffering to a quite similar problem, posted in this thread:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=747&highlight=slow
Although PA 2006 Beta 7 is much faster in browsing through the folder structure of an already opened archive, the opening procedure is VERY slow.
E.g.:
- one zip achive, 260 MB in size with about 14 thousand files and 620 dirs, packed with PA at a maximum compression level
WinRAR 3.51 needs about one second to read the folder structure, open it and lets you browse through folders and files whereas PA needs 137 seconds to open the same archive from exactly the same media (CD-RW)!!!
Now this is what I call slow. Imagine me, browsing through dozens of these backup files… this is getting me mad!
Can anybody reproduce this extraordinary slow initial reading of folders in an archive?
Thank you.
-
what happens when you copy the archive to the hard drive?
thank you!
-
Thank you for your reply!
Okay, just tried it again:
1. same archive on DVD-RW, antivirus disabled, drive spindown disabled
Time to open archive:
WinRAR = one second
PA = 147 seconds2. archive copied to hard drive, antivirus still disabled
Time to open archive:
WinRAR = one second
PA = 6 seconds -
so it is probably due to the way PA reads the header. We will check it out better for next release, thank you!
-
Thank you for your efforts!
-
Just to keep you up to date: the issue hasn’t changed yet.

Has this issue been adressed in the current beta release?
-> 9.60 Beta 1
I would really like to use PA again, as I have paid for it. But momentarily it really constrains my work flow. :(
-
Yes, No, Maybe?
-
Okay, tried it myself: PA still needs some time to read aka open archives whereas competing products show the content instantly. I’m tired of a product, that needs more time to open an archive than me, checking whether it is the one I’m looking for. Additionally, the German translation is still a mess (as the German translation of your homepage still is, btw).
I’m switching to a competing product, good luck.

problem is in how zip engine reads the archive, not that easily improved for us.
thank you,
-
I found the same issue. It takes pretty long time to open archive files. Also when it tried to compress files, especially big list of files, it takes pretty long to launch itself and to prepare the list.

not archives, specifically zip files. Other formats are much faster. Problem is same as before. Not something we can improve.
I believe upcoming 10.00 is even faster than before when it comes to browsing folders (and in many other things in general), but again, zip engine speed has not been improved.
-
I tested with .jar files, is it also using the same engine?
