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.
Reuse PowerArchiver Windows
-
A setting to reuse PA windows exists in the Options menu. I prefer to have multiple instances of PA open so I do not enable reuse. While this feature works when opening files from the file system it does not work when opening archives contained within archives. If the option to reuse windows is disabled shouldn’t opening archives within archives open a new instance of PA rather than reusing the same instance? Is this a bug?
As a workaround I can use the Exlporer Display Style because it at least allows me to go one level up. However, PA re-parses the parent archive when I go up one level from a child archive.

Hi,
when you open archive inside PowerArchiver, it automatically opens it in the same window - it is not affected by reuse setting at all.
I am not sure if it should, maybe some additional option for this specifically?
-
I wish some archive utility would be capable of this. I am a Java developer I frequently access archives within archives. It is annoying to not have the ability to go back and forth looking through various archives. I guess I just have taken this feature for granted because it is a part of other applications I use.
Well if you can add this to the wish list I would appreciate it. Perhaps the reuse setting could be checked when opening archives within archives or an option on the context menu to open an archive in a new window.

good idea…

FWIW, in my opinion it should simply respect the current setting for window reuse. Having another option for this specific scenario seems like option overkill to me.

there is big difference there. If you open an archive inside PowerArchiver, by default behavior it should open in that same PowerArchiver.
However that still does not mean that you only want to use single PowerArchiver window, which is what reuse would force.
Open in new window sounds like great option there.
