    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

    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

    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’ve noticed in PA2007b5 when trying to drag and drop a file from the archive to the Windows desktop, it gives you the “not-allowed” cursor.

      If you try a second time, it will work fine.

      Also, may I recommend the DevExpress VCL components. Their new ribbon control looks perfect and gives glass and all that.

      Thanks :P

                technically they did :P what’s their new name now for ide’s? codegear or something? my CTO wrote them a pretty nasty letter. hehe

                anyhow, same problem exists in b6.

                If you drag a file from the archive to the desktop i get the “No-no” cursor. When I let go of the mouse button it goes back to normal, then when i highlight over the PA window, it’s back to the “No-no” cursor. A second attempt at dragging to the desktop is successful.

                  same problem in beta 7

                  open an archive, select a file and start to drag it. instantly you get the denied cursor. try it again and it works fine.

                    hate to be a bastard but it’s not fixed in beta 8 either.

                    i do a lot of dragging and dropping from archives during the day. any chance of this one getting fixed?

                                the problem where you will drag and drop a bunch of files to the desktop or an explorer window. it goes through the motions of extracting everything, but nothing shows up in the window you dragged it to, and seemigly it’s gone… almost like it never copies from a temp folder or something… i haven’t reproduced that one on Vista yet since I’m having the problem that this whole thread is about :)

                                        no change unfortunatley.

                                        edit: correction. slight change.

                                        now, when dragging to the desktop you still get the ‘don’t allow’ cursor, but when you drop it, it kind of hangs on that cursor for a while, then it actually does extract it to the desktop.

                                        better than previous builds, but still not quite right.

                                        are you able to reproduce this on your vista copy?
