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.

Used to be once upon a time the phrase “Lifetime Updates” was prominently displayed on the home page. Now that phrase is gone.
My question is if I buy PowerArchiver now how long will my seral last before I’m required to pay an upgrade fee?
Thanks.

mmh…good point.
I bought PA because it’s really a good software…but also for its “lifetime” license. So a good thing would be keeping one’s word and don’t have old customers pay for PA again.

Business license buyers get 2 next versions for free - PA 2007 and PA 2008, and Personal license customers get lifetime upgrades for free. This is explained at 2nd page of shopping cart.
These licenses are active since PA 2002 actually, which was 4 years ago? So you have long memory :-).
As to the old customers (this would be PA 2001 customers?), no change for them of course. We cant/wont ever change previous licensing - so if you purchased PA 2006 Personal, you will get updates to PA, no matter what what we do in 2012.

Thanks for the clarification, spwolf. You should make that a faq or something. Burying that info on the second page of the shopping cart makes it less than ‘prominent’.
Good to know that personal users still get lifetime licenses.

well, you have to make selection in the shop when you purchase PA, so it is very visible. Not enough space on the front page of shop since you select International/English there…

I’m for one happy that a “Lifetime Licence” means that–it was a major reason for choosing this product (besides the fact that it worked well!) Other products should follow this model–how many of us bought “lifetime” license" until it was clarified–“while we support the product” (Norton)?
