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.
Not compressing certain files
-
Hi!
I could not figure out if there is a way for specifying certain which files should not be compressed (added without compression).
I’ll give you the example where I use winrar for that purpose. I exchange quite a lot of files between home and work computers, outlook pst files among them. These pst files are huge and their compression takes a lot of time, but gain is practicaly none… Using winrar I set that these files should not be compresses.
Is there a way to to that in pa?I also have a question about a bar at the top of the window, that shows the name of the archive. Can it be turned of because it just take precious space (I tend to have the habbit to take ewth out of the gui that I dont use - that includes toolbars, status bar…)?
Best regards,

@joc:
I could not figure out if there is a way for specifying certain which files should not be compressed (added without compression).
There is no configuration option to “automatically use” a compression level based on the filetype.
However, it is possible if you archive as a “two step” process - first compress the files you want compressing, then add the “don’t compress” files with the compression set to “none”.Of course you could also do this “two step” using PowerArchiver Backup scripts (or PACL)
e.g. For pst files -
Add all files excluding “.pst" with compression max.
Add all ".pst” files with compression none. -

If a open automatically created script in text editor, ewth is clear, but I don’t know the syntax to create this “two stage” processing…
Using PACL is this possible using only one comand or batch commands would be needed?
Tnx for explanation,
jOc -
you can make an batch script with two calls. They will be called one after each other…
but there really wont be an easy way to do it until we actually add that feature…
