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.
PA 2007 Small Cosmetic Suggestions

In the program window it would be nice to have Vista-style gadgets in the top right (Minimize, Maximize, Close) instead of the smallish buttons there now.
I definitely like the Office 2007-style ribbon bar motif. One added similarity to Office 2007 could be to add the Options dialog button in the PowerArchiver menu (the top-left PA round button) as that would be consistent with Office 2007 programs that use the ribbon. In Word 2007, Excel 2007, etc, when you click the Office logo button in the top right one item you get is the Options dialog for the program.
Excellent work on PA 2007, by the way. I think you’re setting the bar higher for competing programs again.

thank you.
I always thought that Options button there looked tacky and Options tab we have actually is part of our interface, and I think it shows a lot more… Since it gives you many other options as well as config window.
So we will see - question is what will MS make us do with their licensing, and we still dont know that as their licensing pages have not been updated yet (should have been in November).
So no changes to Modern toolbar until we know more about that.
I agree on top right buttons, they will be updated, just a bit neglected right now :-).
