    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.

      I have a backup set created by a different program that contains a few thousand files, in which each file is compressed and encrypted individually with the standard ZIP algorithm and AES-256. There is also a directory structure.

      Example:
      Directory 1 - file 1.zip
      file 2.zip
      file 3.zip
      Subdirectory 1 - file 1.zip
      file 2.zip
      file 3.zip
      Directory 2 - file 1.zip
      file 2.zip
      file 3.zip
      file 4.zip
      and so on

      Now, I would to extract a couple of hundred files from this backup with PowerArchiver (I do not like the restoration procedure that this other program offers).

      I have two problems:

      a) PowerArchiver asked me for the password for each file. However, the password is the same for every file in the backup set. Can I make PowerArchiver remember the password and only ask me again if a different password is required within an unzipping session?

      b) The existing directory structure got lost. All files - no matter which directory they were located in - were extracted into one single directory. Can I do anything about that?

        a. At this point you can use PPM? (check options)
        b. what about using extract to filename\subfolder?

        thanks,

          @spwolf:

          a) I looked into the options and the password manager is enabled (i.e. there is a cross in the appropriate checkbox). But still PowerArchiver does not remember the password, I have to enter it for every archive. What could be the reason for that?
          All the archive (ZIP) files have different names, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right? They all have the same password.

          Since it is folder with many subfolders and many individually compressed ZIP files, I went to PowerArchiver’s Tools and used its multi-unpack function (I am not sure if that is the right term, I have a German version here).

            ah, yes - PPM works per file :-).

            I believe that upcoming PA 2007 will have some changes to help in this case.
