    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

    BigMikeB

    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?

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    Thanks

    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.

      Before I get that comment: Yes, I have noticed that there’s another thread on a similar topic. But that one drifted off into a seemingly completely irrelevant discussion over archive efficiency, so I didn’t read it all.

      I have a number of text files which I want to compress into a zip file. One of these text files is regularly being written to by a running application, so in a manner of speaking, it’s in use. PowerArchiver refuses to add the file to the zip file for this reason.

      BUT, at any time I can easily open the file in Notepad or another text editor that I use, so obviously the file is accessible if this is programmed correctly. Referring to the other thread - this has nothing at all to do with the format of the archive file I’m creating, but only with the way in which PA is accessing the in-use file. I hope there can be a fix for this soon.

      Thanks
      Oliver

      Edit: I just tried and found that the XP built-in zip tool can actually add the file to the zip file just fine. All the more reason to expect a quick fix for PA. Oh yes, my version is 9.50.28.

          this is possible however it does cause problems as some files sometimes can not be archived correctly. I know this feature can be made avalaiable in zip 7zip and possibly cab, not sure about the rest. nice feature please can we have it.

            If you think that such a feature is in some way related to the format that’s used for the archive, could you elaborate on that? I don’t understand why that would be the case. Once the file can be satisfactorily read from the disk (which may not always be the case, that’s right, but in this specific case is obviously possible somehow), I don’t see why a programmer wouldn’t be able to whatever he likes with the file’s contents. If you can explain to me why I would be able to read a file from disk, but not write it somewhere else in whatever format I like, please do so.

              i was only trying to state that this can cause problems but is possible to an extent and that extent is windows limitations.

              It not related to the format but the author has to add support for each format separatly in order to have this feature.
