    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

    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?

    Hi,

    From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    Thanks

    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,

      This is a detailed explanation of the problems with the Test action I referred to in an earlier post.

      To illustrate the problems, I have attached two zip files.

      The archive crc.zip contains three text files: one.txt, two.txt and three.txt. Each of them has a CRC error (I have manually corrupted the compressed data inside the zip file, to simulate typical corruptions in zip files such as those caused by serial-port transmission errors, floppies subjected to magnetic fields, cosmic rays, nuclear explosions, or whatever ;-)).

      When you test this file in PowerArchiver, it will tell you about the CRC error in the first file, but, even if you choose to continue checking, it will not tell you about the errors in the other two files. Your rival archive utilities tell you about the errors in all three files.

      The second archive, dcl.zip, contains a text file compressed with PKZIP’s DCLImpode algorithm. PowerArchiver is unable to extract it. That’s OK, it’s not a mainstream zip method. But what is definitely wrong is that PowerArchiver is silent about this file when you try to extract it; and, when you try to test it, it reports that there are no errors. In comparison, other archivers behave correctly by saying that they do not recognise this compression method.

      Hope this helps.
