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.
Can't open archive

Hello, I wanted to open the archive I downloaded but it won’t work. All I see is the directory structure from C: until the archive.
It was an archive (tar) containing icons downloaded from art.gnome.org.
It’s about 6meg in size so there must be something in it.
It was the archive on this page:
http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1150#What could be the problem? I think the file was made for linux, could this be the problem?

If you are referring to the “Unofficial Tango” then it worked for me.
It is actually a tar.bz2 file. It extracts into a sub-folder Tango\ …
Lets start by asking if your PowerArchiver is up to date - what version are you using?
@Stephen:Hello, I wanted to open the archive I downloaded but it won’t work.
How are you trying to open it? Have you activated the flag Misc - Smart Handling - Open TAR files transparently? Are you opening it with PowerArchiver GUI or are you using the Explorer shell extensions?
@Stephen:All I see is the directory structure from C: until the archive.
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Are you using Windows Explorer or are you looking within the archive using the PowerArchiver GUI?
@Stephen:What could be the problem? I think the file was made for linux, could this be the problem?
As I say - extraction works for me so it is not a Linux compatibility problem.

Version 9.51.02
I used the shell extensions, and I have open tar files trans. checked.
All this produces is an empty folder with the same name as the archive.
If I open PA and double click on the file in the folders bar I see ‘C:’
If I expand this I get ‘Documents and settings’ under the ‘C:’. If I keep expanding I get to the archive and double clicking on this does nothing.

Please download the latest version from our website and try again.
thanks!

Same problem, even deleted the file from browser cache and re-downloaded.
Can anyone send me the icons in a zip? stephen underscore c underscore at hotmail dot com

for some reason, it downloads as .tar.tar file. Go to your download folder, and rename it to .tar.bz2.
Then try opening it with PowerArchiver.
that has worked for me.
thanks,

That fixed the problem. Can powerarchiver be made to do this automatically?
-
for some reason, it downloads as .tar.tar file. Go to your download folder, and rename it to .tar.bz2.
Browser problem ?
- it is correct (tar.bz2) with both Opera and Firefox for me :p
-
Hmm… must be an IE issue :-)
