    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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.

    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.

      hi,

      1 - single click doesn’t work here, as it used to work before !

      2- when you work on directories, to open files you want to access, the toolbar turns to grey, until the file is well opened ! at that time it becomes effective again !

      3- could it be possible that when opening PA, we could start with something else than the “start” directory ?

      sorry for the english.

      bye

        Sorry, I don’t understand. What do you mean by “Single Click”?

        Yes, while opening the archive, PA is “busy”.

          hi, and thank you

          instead of clicking twice to open a file in the archive, i choosed to click once, in the options… that doesn’t work, i must click twice…

          i know how to choose the start directory, i meant when opening PA, the “start” directory is highlighted… can i choose another directory, for example “my docs” ?

          thank you

                  If I set the folder options to
                  Folder: C:\Documents and Settings\TBGBe\My Documents\

                  Then that folder is highlighted when starting PA (in explorer view). Is that not what you want :confused:

                    hi,

                    my settings :

                    • explorer view
                    • like a web page

                    so :

                    on the left of the screen, i got all of “my computer”, with all the contents (C:, D:, etc.)

                    if i click on D:, for example, it opens all the files that should open with a single click… but doesn’t work here, and the whole line selection doesn’t either…

                    don’t understand why…

                      sorry, my head’s off

                      it does work well when i work on an archive

                      i’ve got the habit to singleclick into Windows Explorer on any kind of files, so i was waiting to do the same into PA!

                      sorry again
