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.
Extract to bug
-
if no folder or basically nothing is entered in the folder box then an error message gets displayed, that does not tell me anything. the message should say no flder has been selected or entered.
when will this be fixed -
Well, I have Zip archive open in PA and then choose extract
- In order to empty box, delete the contents of the “Extract To” box
- Press Extract
I do not get an error message.
Nothing is extracted (as expected).Same for “Selected Files” and for “All Files”.
What error message are you seeing? -
use the windows shell extensions then report back and you will see the fault i reported
-
Do you mean - Shell “Extract To…”?
Again to empty box, delete the contents of the “Extract To” box - the OK button is disabled so I cannot extract at all :confused: -

-
use cotex menus and extract to empty the box with where to extract to then click on the arrror -> (this one ->) beside it and hey presto a error message

Ah, now I see :rolleyes:
When you press the arrow, you are requesting that the extraction folder display opens to show that folder and subfolders.
Requesting Folder/SubFolder display of “nothing” does indeed give an Access violation.
It does the same if a non-existing path is entered - try deleting the contents and then enter
‘davidsplash\wants to\press the arrow now’
and then press the arrow :pI guess you right, PA shouldn’t cause the Access violation - but I think the “error” that caused it should be fairly obvious. :D

you’re right, man! :eek:
that should definitely be fixed!
-
I feel badly that we didn’t catch that in the alpha/beta testing. That’s definitely a problem that hopefully will be fixed soon.

dont feel bad, cant catch them all… 9.5 was the best major release we had in the history, no real problems as of yet…

Technically, as davidsplash is an alpha tester, you could say that we did. It was just reported a little later than expected :p
-
to end this discussion so everyone can get on with testing pa and making it better. In truth you never need to do the thing i did. I just happened to try it, but i bet you no one thught that would be a bug as no one would ever do this precedure.
Alpha testers get a lot of the bugs but can not always get all as some are accidently added to the final version as is the case with all software on the market.
-
this has been fixed, please check 9.51.
thanks,
