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.
Wheel scrolling backwards?
-
I’ve noticed that when I view the contents of an archive, the mouse wheel scrolling is backwards… I move the wheel down, PowerArchiver scrolls upward. I move the wheel up, and PowerArchiver scrolls downward. Is this normal?
I’m using a Microsoft Whele Mouse Optical, with the stock drivers in Vista.
-
Just talking to myself here I guess, but I also notice that PowerArchiver is scrolling one line at a time, not one page at a time as I have set.

I was expexcting you to come back saying it was “fixed” after you rebooted.
I cannot reproduce the problem so osme more details may be needed.
What version of PA - current is 10.01.03 ?
Clean install or upgrade from PA 9.x / 10.x?
What view style (although I tried both Classic and Modern) ?
I assume you are dispaying details (not list)?
Are you using a skin (I only tried with defaults)?
What archive format (I tried both ZIP and CAB)? -

Yeah, I always wait until several uses before reporting a porblem such as this, to make sure it really is a problem with the program, not just a one-time oddity.

What archive format (I tried both ZIP and CAB)?The version I’m using is 10.00.42, it was a clean install – this is the first I’ve tried PA. I’m using the classic view, display is set to details, the skin is “Default Classic” and the archive format doesn’t matter. The same thing happens when I’m not even viewing an archive – the explorer-like display you get when you just run the program without opening an archive does the same thing. The Open dialog, which I assume is a standard Windows dialog, does not show this problem.
-
OK.
As I said I can’t reproduce the problem - I don’t remember anything like this with earlier versions either (and I have used them all :-)You could try updating to the current version (10.01.03).
That has improvements specific to Windows Vista - I am still on XP. -
You could try updating to the current version (10.01.03).
Tried that; it made no difference.
Incidentally, I mentioned before about the Explorer-like window when you open PA. In this, the left panel scrolls correctly, while the right panel exhibits the same backwards, line-at-a-time scrolling as when viewing the contents of an archive.
I like PowerArchiver otherwise, but this is annoying enough to make me look elsewhere. Maybe they’ll fix it, but my evaluation time runs out soon.
-
…not one page at a time as I have set.
Sorry, I misread that bit. :eek:
You are right - if I activate [ Mouse - Wheel - one screen at a time ] in Windows XP I get the same effect.:(Choosing “number of lines” e.g. 20 works correctly.
Could you try that as a workaround?
@JackH:my evaluation time runs out soon.
Apart from a “nag” timer, the functionality is exactly the same (there is nothing disabled on evaluation expiry). Don’t buy the license until it works the way you want.

Choosing “number of lines” e.g. 20 works correctly.
Could you try that as a workaround?No; I’d rather be annoyed by one program than by all programs!
This is starting to make sense though… I’ll bet the number of lines to scroll is stored as -1 if it’s set to page-at-a-time, and PA (or a programming tool used by it) is interpreting this literally.

Yeah, I’ve been using shareware long enough to learn this the hard way.

we will take a look for one of the future updates… thanks.

Just a friendly reminder about this problem, which is not yet fixed in the 10.1 beta.:)
-
Thanks!
The issue will be finally fixed in Beta 2.
-
Thank you! I shall anxiously await its arrival.:)
-
One Screen at a time fixed - for me - in PA b2 (10.10.09).
-
So, where is it? I just downloaded , and got 10.10.08.
-
From another thread
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha100/powarc1010b2.exe -
Thank you - looks like I need to start reading every thread here!
Scrolling does indeed work corrrectly in v10.10.09.
-
No, you could have waited for “official release announcment”.
But once you asked… :D
