    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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?

    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.

      In PA 2007 Beta 5 I find the Configuration UI for file Associations to be a bit unintuitive:

      If I select a file type to be associated with PA then press ‘OK’, the association does not actually get made. If I reopen the Configuration dialog (even after a restart of PA), the box remains checked.

      It seems I must press the ‘Associate Now’ button, just pressing ‘OK’ is not enough.

      By standard UI conventions, changes made in the dialog should be made to take effect when OK is pressed. My initial understanding of the ‘Associate Now’ button was that it would behave like an ‘Apply’ button - I still expected the changes to take effect on ‘OK’ even if ‘Associate Now’ was not pressed.

      On a related note - if I uncheck a file type, then only press OK (without pressing ‘Associate Now’), the file association is halfway broken. A double click on a file of that type will not open PA, but the icon for the file remains a PA icon.

        Well spoted!

        You can see from a logistic point of view that pressing “Associate now” confirms that you wish to make changes.

        Maybe if you were to make changes to that screen and were to press ok, a pop up could apear saying “You have made changes to your a Compression Assocites. Please press the Associate button to confirm” and are given then 3 buttons

        OK, Associate and Cancel.

        Either that or just set the ok button to do all the work

          it means it is an bug. So what exactly doesnt work, both checking and unchecking?

            It means there are 2 similar bugs:

            1. checking a file association and pressing OK has no effect except that the check box remains checked

            2. unchecking a file association and pressing OK has half the intended effect. Double-clicking such a file will no longer open PA (good), but the file will still have a PA icon (bug).

              here is how it works:

              • Associate now associates right away
              • Ok associates at startup

              Unchecking works, it is only that Windows keeps icon cache, thats something we can not influence.

              From B6, it will automatically apply/associate if settings have been changed…

                  When setting the association, the icon shows up immediately (any open explorer windows appear to go through a refresh of some sort). I assumed that the same would happen for un-associating, but Windows is sometimes a mysterious place, eh?

                    mysterius is probably good word to describe it :)

                      This is fixed in Beta 6 - pressing OK now makes associations take effect.
