    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.

      When selecting either LongHorn or MyPA skin then clicking on Default Classic skin, the PA title bar disappears

      Steps:
      1. From modern toolbar, Click Options –> Interface --> Classic Toolbar
      2. Click Options --> Select Skin --> LongHorn
      3. Click Options --> Select Skin --> Default Classic
      4. Notice that the title bar is gone.
      5. Exit and relaunch PA (or switch to Modern Toolbar)
      6. Repeat above for MyPA skin

      A second issue is that when switching from either Modern blue or Modern silver, the Help button retains the previous color until you mouse-over.

      Windows XP SP2

        Using PA07 RC1 V10, I do not experience the same issue! i did in the Beta’s!

        The only one I can confirm is that when selecting from Default Silver or Devault Blue (the new ribbon look) to Default Classic PA Closes its self and doesnt relaunch! the user then has to manualy open PA again to see the changed skin!

            I can confirm this. I choose to go to Default classic, then click on myPA. Looking at the skins menu, it shows both selected/checked. Trying to revert to the default classic by clicking on it causes the title bar to disappear but will show if you exit and reopen the application or change skins again.

              In addition: after a switch from ribbon to the classic pulldownmenu under win98, PA1000 started up with an ‘External exception C000001D’.

                    Yeah it’s gone now (XP SP2 I forgot to mention that earlier). The force unloading/restarting of the application takes care of it. Problems with the skinning engine?

                    There is also an issue now (10.00.39) when a modern skin (Default Blue) is selected then choose the smoothlime - it doesn’t skin everything as it should. Even after a restart of the application it is still not skinned properly. The main window remains “default blue” style but the tips window, favorites window, etc gets the “smoothlime” styling.

                    EDIT: This happens when choosing “smoothvista” too. Also resizing the window creates major flicker. While this isn’t really a huge issue it is distracting. Maybe I never noticed it before, or is it only a recent occurence? I’ll install the older editions and see.

                    EDIT 2: The flickering is much less noticeable and the main window’s scrollbars aren’t problematic in the older 9.64.03 edition. (the bottom scrollbar is persistent in the newer editions and the vertical scrollbar flickers on/off on resize.) Hopefully the bugs will get worked out soon, until then I’ll regress to 9.64.03 :(

                      thats how it works, we will update web skins to force you into the classic mode automatically later on this week (hopefully)…
