    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?

    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.

      Since the 1st Beta release of PowerArchiver 2007 there have been many Forums, comments and amendments to the new Ultimate Achiver!

      However, we have yet had a poll to allow us all to vote on our thoughts on the programs success and wither or not we as users, customers or potential customers think so far.

      Taking into consideration we are still in Beta Please feel free to vote and add your comments about the new version.

      “Please note that this is for technical issues but more for us to speak freely on our experience and thoughts about PA2007”

            I know, I was going to host a pile of questions on my site and then send it to you guys. However, this was the quickest method!

            Its a shame your poll doesnt allow you to have multiple quesions.
            e.g
            1.Do you like the look and feel of PA
            a. DAM RITE!
            b. Its ok i guess
            c. ow? has it changed!

            2. What do you think of the features?
            a. What dont i think!! its great!
            b. Versitile
            c. It has features? where are they then?

            OW and ignore Spywolf Guys hes only joking about taking away your serials…… “i think” :confused:

                        I see what you are doing Spywolf! using reverse Psychology in order to make others feel they are above completing polls on PA and that such tasks are obtuse to their standards.

                        But from looking at the poll so far 85% of users beleave the new version of PA Rules! with 42% who prefer the new style Menu’s! I would guess that that number should go up once they learn how to use the ribbon menu.

                            I just downloaded and installed the 10 beta 7, to things immediately jumped out at me, 1, the new layout of the toolbar, change it to use the old which i prefer, and the size of the .dat file to create 7-zip sfx files at 294kb, jeez, and thats compressed using UPX, i was expecting something in the region of 60-70kb upx compressed, due to the fact the 1 i’m currently using is only 47kb, note by changing the upx packer to Upack reduced to 203024 bytes, Upack is also freeware, sorry i just couldnt help myself to re-compressing the .dat file.
                            I believe you could make the 7-zip dat file smaller without recompressing it.

                            Upack by Dwing available here, http://www.wex.cn/dwing/mycomp.htm#upack and it comes with a gui to

                              yeah, it is big, and not something we can change easily, 7zip dll itself is 160kb or more and then we are left with interface :-).

                                i dont get it? Everyone likes it according to poll… Thats why you dont have poll where 6 answers are positive ones :-).

                                There are only 2 negative answers on the poll… And nobody picked them.

                                If someone dont likes Office UI…they dont have to use it :-).

                                We probably got around 100 emails so far on people liking it, and so far got 1 negative email, so ratio is good.

                                  Not really, it is hard to expect anything but mostly good answers on PowerArchiver forums, since people here like…PowerArchiver:-).

                                    if u look at my previous post spywolf i added the webpage to Upack, there are 2 gui’s for it, winUpack is standard and UPO is for running it through the numbers, to get the best size, itstead of doing it manually
                                    for the 7-zip dat file, it would be 3,47 with a filesize of 202924 bytes for the smallest size, talking of filesizes, wouldnt it be possible for you to modify a sfx file already made as small as possible without compression, add info to that.

                                      you have to consider that we have to have full interface. When we modified 7zip sfx, we couldnt add all the features we wanted, without size going up. And more important was that we found out that modified sfx was slower than using dll, which is why we moved to dll.

                                      It is mostly for distributing files that are large - larger than 10-15 MB compressed, so extra 150kb for interface doesnt really matter…

                                        we did try upack, but for reason that escapes me now, we decided un upx implementation… could be false positives or some incompatibility, not sure anymore.

                                                Not really, it is hard to expect anything but mostly good answers on PowerArchiver forums, since people here like…PowerArchiver:-).

                                                It is hard to expect that people who visit daily dont like it :-).

                                                Okay, you forced me to reply. I’ve been using PA 2006 for a few months and I love it! I was a registered user of that other software (initials W.Z.) but they ticked me off by asking me to pay for the most recent upgrade.

                                                PA 2007 seems to work just fine (save for a few bugs I’m sure will be worked out before final release) but I really don’t like the new interface. It’s too “busy”. But as long as I can use the “classic” interface, I’ve got no problem. Of course, I’m still using the “Windows Classic” style on my XP machine, too…

                                                  Hi!

                                                  Great job guys!

                                                  However there are two things that annoy me.
                                                  Why is it not possible to cascade the context menu like in PA2006?
                                                  Some Buttons are to small for the German translation.

                                                    sure it is… you just have to do via Add to submenu button…

                                                      Thanks for the fast help!

                                                      Now I saw the button. :o
                                                      I didn’t know it was this button because some parts of the text are missing in the German translation. ;)

                                                        We enlarged everything to the maximum especially for the germans….
