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-23-1165/
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.
Slow extraction from zips with many files

Hi!
I have a zip file with following specs:
- around 113MB compressed size
- around 1,4GB uncompressed size
- contains ~55,000 small files (~ 1-100KB)
PA is very slow in loading this file (“reading files…”)
and it takes a long time extracting single files from
this archive.Few files in this archive are broken and PA stops from extracting the whole archive with an error.
Which bugs me: the 7-zip file manager is doing fine with this archive.
It loads it fast and extracting single files takes just a few seconds. If I extract the whole archive it just skips the broken files and continues with a hint.If developer needs this file for testing purposes, please PM me.

how slow is slow when loading? What settings are you using? (classic view, explorer view, etc)…
thanks,

Settings: Modern Skin (Blue), Explorer-View with enabled Folder-View (see attached Screenshot).
Startup until the progressbar starts moving takes ~12sec, loading takes ~50sec
When PA has finished it needs ~60MB RAM and ~60MB virtual memory.
The zip file contains around 6600 folders.PC specs: Windows XP Pro SP2, AthlonXP 2200+ (1,9GHz), 1GB RAM

is it faster when you move it to classic view?
-
and where is the file located at? hard drive or? thanks!
-
The file is located on my second hard drive, but moving it to my system drive makes no diffence in speed.
Switching between classic and modern toolbar has no impact on speed, but I think “classic style” is a little bit faster than “explorer style”.

Interesting - I will test it on our computers and see what happens.
It is way too slow for opening files, however that might be due to archive being broken. I will test that out.
thanks
