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.
Difference between Add and Update?

When I use add, I see that it deletes previous occurences of files from the archive before adding new occurences to it. How is this different from the update behavior? Is there documentation beyond the (very) brief manual.txt?
Great program so far. Doesn’t have the 7-zip problem with multiple occurences of same filename in different directories.

My understanding is as follows:
“Freshen” will only replace existing files if they have changed (e.g. using file date/time). No new files are added.
“Update” will add new files to the archive but only replace existing files if they have changed (e.g. using file date/time).
“Add” will add new files to the archive but will also replace existing files whether they have changed (e.g. using file date/time) or not.
So, assuming some existing files have NOT changed, Update is going to be quicker than Add as some files are not “processed”.
However, I have not tested this - so confirmation would be nice :rolleyes:

This was my suspicion as well, but couldn’t confirm. So, seconding the motion on confirmation. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks for the reply.

Just checked Add vs Update (ZIP format).
It appears my understanding was correct :D -
and thanks.
