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.
Stop 'queue' creating spanned archives
-
I turned on ‘queue’ as i reguarily have to zip mutli gb files and queue appears to run as a lower priority meaning my whole machine does not become unusable.
however it always seems to create spanned archives is there anyway of specifying how i want the archive to be created when using the queue
-
how are you creating zip files? if through shell, then there is default shell configuration in Options that you need to check out and make sure MV is not selected there?
-
Yes I am using the shell.
To replicate do the following:
-
Ensure Queue is turned off
-
R/Click on file and select Compress to zip
-
Single File Created
-
Ensure Queue is turned on
-
R/Click on file and select Compress to zip
-
Spanned File Created
I have already looked and been unable to find a configuration option
-
-
in configuration, profiles, check default zip profile…
-
and check what is the saved setting for Add window in main PowerArchiver (try creating new zip in main PA and check what is under options)…
I tried it with queue and worked fine here…
-
both set to no spanning.
i tested this on a folder 200mb in size and still get the same problem.
turning on queue and always use queue means than zips created through the shell create a spanned archive.
it seems to be when the always use queue option is checked that the problem occurs
turning off queue reverts back to the default expected behaviour.
I’m making no other option changes.
i’m using vista ultimate with uac turned off if you want to replicate my enviroment
-
can someone else duplicate this behaviour?
Fatboy - can you delete your PA registry key and try again? Or just use “Set defaults” button in Options menu/tab.
-
Or send us registry file of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver?
-
can someone else duplicate this behaviour?
No - always use queue
I just created a 240MB zip file (not spanned) via shell extensions. -
I’ve reset to defaults and it’s still doing it (tested on a 380mb folder).
I have the registry from both before and after the reset.
What would you like me to do with it?
-
email support via support form above, and then you will email it to us…
thanks
-
The issue should be fixed in next update.
-
please check with latest internal release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1010.exeand let us know if it works properly now.
thanks!
