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.
Ver.9: Serious problem with drag-and-drop in W2K?
-
In version 9, when you drag and drop a file to the file listing window to add to the archive and select “Add (and Replace) Files” or “Update (and add)…”, the file is added to the archive but everything previously in that archive is deleted!!!
This could be a very worrying problem for some people who lose files in an archive unexpectedly. I’ve tried this with gz and zip files and had the same result. I’m sure it’s a version 9 problem, so I’ve gone back to 8.80 which, of course, doesn’t have this problem.
I hope you can address this problem in an update, or…
If I’m doing something wrong or have missed some info, please tell.Thx.
(Great Program!)

Cannot reproduce this (although I’m using Win98 at the moment) can try Win2K tomorrow.
Some questions
What is the actual PA version (current via forum is PA 9.00.35)
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140Was the archive created with PA?
Is this file you are dropping already in the archive (update) or is it a new file (add)?Have you created any compression profiles for Zip / Gz ?
-
Cannot reproduce on Win2k either. :confused:
-
I had the same problem on two machines (both running Win 2K) when I upgraded to version 9. (I’ve tried 9.00.35 and an earlier version 9 release.)
No, the archives were not created using PA. This is important?
I hadn’t created any profiles, but I hadn’t done that with version 8 either.
I’m quite sure of this problem. I’ve switched back and forth between 8.80 and 9.00 several times. It’s clear: 8.80=no problem; 9.00=problem.
By the way, to test it out, I’ve tried “update” and “add”. Same problem.
Sorry if I’ve stumped the band here. Any other info I can offer?
-

Well, that depends on whether you get the same problem with an archive that is created with PA. That is the easy way for someone (meaning Ivan or Spwolf - not me :) ) to try to reproduce the problem.
If not, then it may be related to something in the way the archive(s) were created. Can you provide an example (or link) to a file that shows this error?
-
heh, TBGBe got it - why dont you try to upload small archive this happens with so we can check it out please? i tried to reproduce this every possible way I could…
thanks,
