    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 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

    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

    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.

      Using latest version of PA version 10.10.10 but I don’t know in what version this difference appeared.

      I have had a backup script running at least a couple of years and this only came to light after a fresh install of Windows XP.

      In the original script I have folders from C:\Documents and Settings\My user name\Application Data (a hidden folder as I’m sure you know) included, as some software I use insists on creating folders there of which I like to keep a backup.

      After my fresh install of XP and programs I found that another one of them now puts a folder in this directory (my email program) and so I need that to be included in my backup as that is where all my email is.

      But for some reason now when I go to add a folder to my backup through Power Archiver the C:\Documents and Settings\My user name\Application Data folder is not shown so I cannot browse it to find the folder I need to add it to my backup. :eek:

      If I just want to add a file it appears then (using a different explore window of course) but that’s not much use to me.

      You can try it yourself by creating a new backup/add folder and just try and find that folder to add to it.

      Please tell me how to get back this function.

          Just the backup folders list Spywolf. It appears under the files list. Want a screenshot ?

          I would probably never have noticed if it had not been for the fresh install of windows.

              Yes it looks like you have ‘Show hidden files and folders’ enabled in Folder Options already so it does look like a problem with PA although I haven’t confirmed it here.

              As a temporary workaround while that’s being sorted out, try copying the folder path from Windows Explorer and pasting it in the field at the top of your ‘Add folder’ window and clicking the little arrow button to the right. I think it should take you to that location, if the location does indeed exist.

                Yep when I first noticed it I thought that I had just forgotten to enable Show hidden files and folders. But I had changed it already.

                OK that works and will do for a workaround for now.

                      Today I have reinstalled XP Pro on my other PC (yes too much time on my hands).
