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.
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-23-1165/

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.
Cannot extract from a GZ file

Seems that PowerArchiver 9.00.33 cannot extract from http://cermics.enpc.fr/theses/94/these-xiaolan-zhang.ps.gz
Though GSView 4.6 can directly open a ps.gz file, it’s still inconvenient if one wants to jump forward or backward inside the ps.gz document.
-
what exactly doesnt work? I tried extracting and works fine…
thanks

The exact error message is
" is not a valid integer value.
This message leads by one double quote and doesn’t contain any specific number inside. After dismissing the error message box, the status bar remains displaying “Reading folder …” and the PA window stops response and will produce a sound when you click inside it.
My PA 9.00.33 is an unregistered version. I store the above mentioned file in “My Documents\My Downloads” (a path containing spaces). My OS is XP SP1 with all the latest patches applied.
Seems strange though. It might not be a generic problem for all.

Hi,
Please check this version and see if it helps:

Downloaded that file and tried with 9.00.35 (Win2k).
Explorer Shell “Extract to these-xiaolan-zhang.ps”
- creates the directory but no files are extracted and no errors reported.
Double Click in explorer (launching PA) give the errors described by jacqueslichn.
See GZ Error / GZ Reading.Note: When clicking the OK button on the error dialogue, PA hangs - no response to mouse/keyboard (just system beeps) and had to be closed with Task Manager.
However, the cause of the error was an incorrect download (for some reason it downloaded as 1.8MB the first time instead of 623kB).
After re-downloading the file - no errors occurred.The error message / handling could be improved :p
-
Note to jacqueslichn
The download error is caused by incorrect coding of that Webpage/Server.
You may wish to inform the Webmaster of the school (I don’t speak/write French).He’d need to change things so the files (that ends in *.gz) are identified as the type for a gzipped file.

The error message / handling could be improved
Tell me about it …
I also downloaded the file, can extract it from context menu, but if I doubleclick it and drag the file from the PA window into explorer window ( or the desktop ), nothing happens.
I use Win2003-enterprise.
Does dragging files from PA into explorer work for others at all ?
I just reported a drag-problem for tar.bz2 files … -
Thanks to all, you’re so nice. I use Opera 7.54. It could be that IE can handle the MIME correctly, while Opera still has some flaw.
-
MS noticed that 88% of webmaster are clueless and can’t set up their web servers for correct MIME handling, so they built into IE extra code to try and guess the correct MIME type ( because the www server send a wrong one ).
It is a web site configuration problem. -> talk to the webmaster
-
I corrected the bug you had with corrupted archive - now it will display error message saying that archive is corrupt when opening .gz file directly from PowerArchiver.
Also the bug with drag&drop-ing to Windows Explorer will be fixed in next release!

Thanks to all, you’re so nice. I use Opera 7.54. It could be that IE can handle the MIME correctly, while Opera still has some flaw.
Actually, the problem is the exact opposite.
Opera does what the Server is requesting should be done with the file.
I.E. does not!The fact that, in this case, the Server has an error and thus I.E. ignoring it ends up with the “intended” outcome is accidental.
However, that has nothing to do with PA and is not relevant to this forum.

Judging from my overall experience with Opera, I think it would be appropriate to describe IE as a monolithic browser, though Opera is still slightly buggy with its page rendering algorithm (It cannot render mail.yahoo.com correctly). Of course this post is not related to PA at all. Just a tip. :rolleyes:
