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.
Again relative paths

Hi,
I’m using 9.51 (International) on WinXPSP2.
What I tried todo was the following:
I have a large ZIP which is 50 megs big, deflates to 350megs and has 20.000 source files. It has only relative pathes, means something like
test\a\1.txt
test\b\no\gb\5.datThere is no c:\ or something.
I unpacked it “somewhere”, changed some files and wanted to readd those files at the same position in the folder hirarchy, so they replace the files already in the archive.
First I tought: open it in pa, simply mark the file, select “replace” from the context menu…but there is no replace ;) Ok, that was too simple to expect. (And some older forum posts seemed to expect “that” function too).
So I tried to add/replace them with “relative” path. But this doesn’t work here. I opened the big zip, PA shows everything. I try to add them with the “add” function, but it seems it has problems to determine what “relative path” is in a zip with only relative paths. It never adds the “relative” path to it. It only works with “full”, which I don’t want.
Maybe I need to fix this somehow with the PACL, but I wanted to ask first. Alots of Java-based libraries/applications come with relative pathes-in-zips/jars, and it always annoyed me that it was so mighty complex to replace one or two files - with small projects I simply rebuild the zip/jar (with pacl) scripts) everytime, but not in a 100megs zip ,)
So my question is: what is the proper way to “replace” a files in a relative path zip/jar, in this structure:
test\a\1.txt
test\b\no\gb\5.dat“test” lies here on “d:\work\stuff\test”
I want to “replace” 5.dat, so it stays in the path. And I surely don’t want to unpack 40 directorys to “root” drives ;)
thanx alot
