    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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

    BigMikeB

    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

    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.

      SFX Wizard creates “incorrect file size” and “error reading file” error when making and then opening a 7-zip SFX.

      Otherwise, I like the changes!:)

          B2. I tried it with mp3 and jpeg files, all under 5 MB.

            Oh, and be sure to type in a caption for the SFX. Maybe that’s triggering the error. Who knows?;)

            Should I try a clean install of the program?

              Guys,

              In case you don’t already do so, when working with beta’s its ofton advised after uninstalling the application via windows you delete relating folders to that program as ofton windows does not do this for you.

              C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver

              Also run regedit and delete the PowerArchiver Registry Key in the following Directry “PS This isnt all of them but will help”

              HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver

              Its best if you download a registry cleaner such as Tune-up 2006 etc.

              Whatever application you install and then install it leaves behind registry values and these values can cause problems when upgrading to new software.

              I am sure the PA Crew have made sure that when updating to 2007 these issues will have been fixed. However, we are still in beta and are sometime away from the release.

                just uninstall and then install again. See if that helps.

                thanks,

                  No, uninstalling and starting over did not work. I even searched for and deleted all registry entries pertaining to PA. Then, I installed b3 the same way with the same results. I get an error with 7 zip SFX every time. I’ve tried different files, different directories, and everything I could think of. I’m puzzled! Oh, well, BH seems to work just fine, but then I can’t use that for an SFX……:rolleyes:

                      Details that might help:

                      I am running XP Professional SP2. 7-zip SFX works fine if I start it from the toolbar (Make .exe). If I go to the tools menu and try it from the SFX Wizard, then Zip SFX & Cab SFX work properly, but 7-zip SFX creates errors.

                      I’ve waited several years for PA to get 7-zip SFX, I guess I can wait a little longer……:)

                        The issue should be fixed in Beta 4.
