    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 22.00.09 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)

      I’m creating an archive with extension .tar.gz

      PA is creating additional paths in the archive, that is, creating a path that is NOT on the local system. The pathnames, in all cases, are being named with a backslash.

      It appears to be happening for all paths, where there are no files within that path.

      This is a problem I reported in April this year, see this post

      If I use PACL to examine the archive, it reports the additional paths, for example …

      pathname1\pathname2\pathname3\pathname4\
      0 Tarred 0% 0 04/12/2007 20:29:34 00001d73

      If I use 7-Zip or PEAZIP to open the archive created by PA, they both show the additional paths in the archive.

      Any chance of this being fixed please ??

        is this happening to all paths or only if path+filename is over 99 char?

        thanks

          @spwolf:

          It is happening to all paths that have no files.

          There were 3 paths that had no files, and PA created the archive with 3 additional paths, each path underneath those three, and they were all named backslash.

          I’m sure it is a different problem to the “length” problem.

          The length problem was occurring when extracting (uncompressing) a tar.gz, and this problem is happening when an archive is being created.

          Besides, I just checked one of those paths, and it was only 49 chars (path+filename).

          This would be easy to replicate, just create 2 paths, one with files in it, and one without files, then create an archive of tar.gz

                Actually, a small test just showed the same error, and there were only 3 levels of paths. Here is the structure I used

                            Installed beta 3 preview, and used it to open the previously created archive, and noticed it didn’t show the path without files at all.
