    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

    Hi there,

    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.

      When I right click on an .iso file, it doesn’t say compress, only encrypt and extract.

      I want to compress a 1.23 GB .iso file to zip. But I find it difficult. Can someone please explain the steps. Thank you.

        @VistaXP:

        When I right click on an .iso file, it doesn’t say compress, only encrypt and extract….

        PowerArchiver considers iso files to be archives, so to have the option to directly “compress”, you need to activate the Shell Extension (Options / Configuration) “Compress to … (for archives)”.

        Although, Zip of iso will be slow and may not give good compression.
        You should also consider performing “Convert” which extracts from iso and then compresses the actual files - but this depends on your requirement of course.

          That’s another feature I don’t like, iso files are disc images not archives. It’s annoying for them to be treated as such and having to turn on a special context menu to compress them.

            enable it once and you are done :-).

            Whole purpose of PA opening ISO files is so they can be treated as archives and so you can extract files from it, without having to mount it or burn it….

                    Yes, I know that was what you meant. I thought just answering “no, you can’t” might not be too helpful :p

                          As it is not available via shell - I never noticed that :eek:

                          Should I raise wishlist for shell access (or is it already planned) :D

                            there was an options for shell “Compress to ISO…”. But because of bug in 11.50 it didn’t show up.
