    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

    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’m using the latest beta 2007 and most times I shutdown and restart the computer the queue icon on the tray comes up. I have deselected it and restarted the computer and sometimes it doesn’t come back on and sometimes it does.

      I’m using windows 2000 and have reformated the hard drive so i know for certain it is a pa queue bug.

          hope this is right way to do it

                It appears that on installation PA installs the Starter under Windows Autorun (whether you enable it or not).
                When you then disable it (via tray or in PA config) this is only effective for the current Windows “session”. It does NOT disable/delete the Autorun entry - so it is started on every reboot.

                  Starting of PA Starter doesnt have anything to do with Queue (ie you dont have to use queue to use PA Starter). So disabling Queue wont disable PA starter.

                  However from B3, you will be asked if you want to disable it when you quit via system tray icon. This feature was removed when we re-wrote code for PA Starter during alpha testing (it was always planned).

                  thanks,

                    @ivan:

                    So you are saying PAStarter is not running after installation - Enabling Queue means setting and running PAStarter?

                    Can the relationship between queue and PA Starter be clarified, please?

                      it is not that complicated - queue needs PA starter, but PA Starter does not need Queue. So if PA Starter is started, disabling queue wont have any effect on it.

                      Since beta 3, when you exit PA Starter, it asks you if you want to disable it from starting.
