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.
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:

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.
Problem storing path
-
I am having problems storing the path for files in subfolders. I have set the option “use normal relative path” in configuration/misc. I also set “Store relative paths” in the Selection tab of the Add window. I click the “Add File…” button, then select files from various subfolders. When the files are added, I am getting either no path stored, or the full path stored. This behavior has occurred with v10.11 and with v10.20.02 that I just installed. Do you have any suggestions?

relative path means relative to the folder you are adding files from. What is considered “root” folder is not being stored, but every other folder beneath it in the folder tree will be stored.
So if you add file from:
C:\test\test2.txtthat file will have no path at all.
However if you add:
C:\test.txt
C:\test\test2.txtthen test2.txt will have relative path stored as test.
Is this what you are experiencing?

Suppose I have opened the window “Browse for Files to Add” in folder My Documents\jeff\A, which contains several files, and two subfolders B and C. I select all the files in A, and also select subfolders B and C. When I click the “Finish” button, one of two things happens: 1) all the files from folders A, B, and C are stored in my zip file, with no indication of path, even for folders B and C, or 2) all the files are stored with absolute paths, e.g, “Documents and Settings\jeff\A”, “Documents and Settings\jeff\A\B”, etc. I am not sure what causes either 1) or 2) to occur. I can see no pattern.
However, if I drag and drop all the files and folders in A to the window in “Browse for Files to Add”, everything works as you would think, i.e., the files in A have no path indicated, and the files in subfolders B and C have the relative paths B and C as they should.
For the time being, I can use the drag and drop method. I only tried that after my first post. I have been using computers since long before GUIs were available, and I normally prefer the command line, or something similar, just because of past experience.
Thanks again for any help.

Hi,
how are you creating those files? And what compression?
Can you outline step by step exactly what you do so we can try to reproduce it. I tried it now and everything seems to work just fine, so it might be specific.
thank you!

This weekend, I will give you a real example, step by step. I am working 12 hour days right now, so I can’t do much until the weekend. Thanks for your help and patience.

step by step reminder… thank you!
