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.
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:

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.
Problem with multiextract and passwords
-
Hi, i have various rar passworded archives. The passwords for the files have been added to the password manager. I can extract the archives 1 by 1, but when i try to multiextract them I get the password window coming up, so i click on OK, thinking the password manager would supply the passwords to powerarchiver as it is part of it, so i wouldnt need to type them in again. but it comes up telling me crc error, but as i said i can extract them if i do it 1 by 1.
another note: if i move the password protected archives to another folder, and try to extract 1 by 1, the password isn’t used either, and i have to type it in. even though i have already typed it in, but as soon as i move the archives back into the orginial folder, and do the 1 by 1 extraction it works.
so the passworded files have to been in the same folders as you entered the password into the password manager otherwise its useless.so it looks like the password manager isn’t supplying the passwords to either the multi-extract or arccovert part of your program.
see my other post. Hope these problems can be fixed.

yep, PM is not used in Multi Extract or Converter at this time.

OK thanks for the quick reply. Think I’ll add that as a wish to the next version then.
Why does the passworded file have to be in exactly the same folder as when you typed in the password and saved in the password manager, and cant be moved. aka to CDRW / CDR or another partition / folder. Surely it would be better to be able to use the same password for the same archive and not have to type it in again but be able to move the file around. aka using the crc to check the file is the same, even if in a different folder or renamed as the crc wouldn’t change, i dont mean for changing the type, aka zip to cab, or rar to zip, just changing the name aka longfilename456.zip to lfn456.zip
the crc would be the same, as it is only filename changed. not filetype, or filesize. -
Did you add this to your wish? If not, add it there as well. (Check for PPM archive via filename+crc check and not filename+path).
thanks - closing this, reply to your wishlist post.
