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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

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.
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
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.
Extracting a folder from an archive
-
PA 2007 beta3
Having a problem extracting a folder from an PA password protected backup.
Though I’m first to admit it could be due to my misunderstanding of how this new version of PA does things, especially with the Queue option in it.
Created a password protected test backup containing 5 folders, 2 files in each.
To Extract it I opened it up in PA:
Selected a folder to Extract and clicked on Extract:
Selected a destination and then I get the message, Error The password is incorrect.(see screen shot)
Not even getting the option to type in a password. Unless I select Add to Queue, if I do that it works just fine. So maybe that is where my misunderstanding comes into it.
If I create a normal Zip file then I can extract a folder from it as I wish.
Nor really understanding why it should be different between a normal zip file and a password protected AES file.
Is it a bug or not ?

basically PA doesnt ask you for an password when you select folder to extract…. bug.
thanks,
-
. bug.
Fair enough. Will just use the queue option for now.
Luxor
-
Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Beta 4. Also selecting “All files” - not just “Selected files” works fine. This is same as “Add to Queue”, since “Add to Queue” can extract only all files.
-
Sorry guys but it’s not fixed in Beta 4.
Incidentally. If I extract a folder from the backup archive by using the “Add To Queue” option It is extracting the entire archive, not just the selected folder.
Luxor
Oops ignore the last bit as I just noticed that you said “Add to Queue” can extract only all files. Doh! :o
-
Still unable to extract a single folder in Beta 5
Luxor
-
Still no fix in beta 6

Not fixed in Beta 7.

Did you check PPM in Configuration, is the wrong password stored there possibly?
Since If I just use new zip file, and select folder only and use selected files setting when extracting, PA asks me for the password and works fine?
-
Hi Spywolf.
Did you check PPM in Configuration, is the wrong password stored there possibly?
Don’t use Password Manager it’s disabled so no chance of the wrong password being stored there.
Since If I just use new zip file, and select folder only and use selected files setting when extracting, PA asks me for the password and works fine?
Yes I mentioned that in my first post. No problem with a normal zip file at all. It just seems to be a problem when trying to extract a folder from a backup password protected AES file.

can you attach one of the files here? Just create some small test archive and post it here, and let us know how did you create it (options).
thanks,
-
Ok Spywolf here you go.
The Password is: test
Created a new Backup called test comprising 5 folders with 2 txt files in each.
File name and destination in this instance is C:\PA-Work\Zipped\test.zip
Add each folder to the archive. Include Subfolders is ticked ( I just leave it that way).Next screen: Configure Backup Options
Compression Format Zip
Method: Add (and replace) files
Compression: Maximum (slowest)
Protect with Password: selected
Type password: test
AES 128 bit: selected
Add Timestamp to archive: selected_DMY
use as suffixStore relative folder information (not full location): Unselected
Show ‘Backup Done’ when finished: selected
Run silent if executed from Windows: UnselectedNext Screen: File Time Options
Include files:
Of any timeNothing else selected on this screen.
Next Screen: FTP Options
Nothing selected.
Next Screen
Just click on Do Backup
To extract a folder from the archive.
Open Powerarchiver
Find the Backup.
Double click on the Archive this opens it on the PA-Work folder.
Double click on that folder and there are the 5 folders in the backup archive.Select a folder any folder, I picked testfolder3.
Left click to highlight that folder. Click on Extract on the toolbar.
This of course brings up a window asking where to extract it (anywhere)
choose selected files click extract and every time it’s Error: the password is incorrect.Hope this helps.

Now I get it, thank you!

Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Beta 8.

Great. :)
You will have to wait for me to get back with a report if it works. I’m off to hospital for an operation so I could be missing for a few days.

I’m back.
Fixed in Beta 8. :)
