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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

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.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
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
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.
Shell Extension - Archive Converter
-
The shell extension command to convert an archive is broken. :rolleyes:
-
you mean it does not add the file to the converter file list? :-)

Yes I see that too - plus I get a small window with the text “I/O error 103” (Uses PA skin but has no title - just an OK button).
However, BH file was created
This was Zip to BH conversion.Then tried with “Tar.gz” to “Zip”
This gives “I/O error 104” and no Zip file is created.Note: the error window appears when PA deletes the temp directory.

Yes, Spwolf, that’s exactly what I’m saying. It does not add the file to the list like it did before. And, it’s annoying.
Hello Terry! It’s been a while…… :D
-
Yes, I’m seeing the same problem too. Convert from the context menu has “Ok” grayed out. I can convert archives that I open with PA normally, but, I use the context menu quite often. :(
-
please try latest version from the website…
thanks,

All OK in PA 9.63.02 :D

All is still not well with PA v9.6.3.2. When trying to convert an archive I get the following error on the first try:```
Faulting application powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, faulting module powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, fault address 0x00001d62. -
please outline step by step how are you converting it and what you are converting…

On the second try, it is successful.At which point in the process?
Convert from what to what?
Does the original (from) archive open / extract OK with P.A. ?
Enough working disk space (temp directory) ?Edit: Beaten by Spwolf - must type faster…

Something must have gone awry with my system when I posted that. Since that time, I’ve been unable to reproduce the error. It may have had something to do with having the U3 version installed previously, but more testing is needed.
