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.
Issue with specific names and 7zip options
-
After using PA for a few years now I have found a couple of rather nasty little bugs where 7zips are concerned. Well I think they are annoying, and I don’t know if any of you have come across this either.
Number 1:
Under Windows Vista and PA version 10.20.02, should you have PowerArchiver Queue switched off, when you go to “New Archive” and type the name in, and select “.7z” on the dropdown and press ok, the dialog comes up to add files. When you go to options you will see only options for standard .zip files, (for example, the ultra compression option is missing and the 7zip default profile is missing). When files are saved they come out as zips (even though you selected .7z). To be able to save as .7z you need to turn on the queue in the options, close and restart PA for the 7zip options to be there.
Number 2:
Also under Windows Vista and PA 10.20.02 if you attempt to create a .7z archive and place a full stop (.) anywhere in it’s name, it will either a) lose the options for 7zip or b) take you to the dialog box to queue files. When this happens and you queue some files, this results in the task completing but the archive you created is completely missing. Basically if you have a full stop in the name you are wasting time because the archive isn’t even saving.
Also I noticed using the .7z ultra compression it can at times completely lock a system up. Might just be my spec though :)
Oh apart from that, works great :)
EDIT: oh and someone might want to change the topic title, too. (forgot to put appropriate subject) :)

thanks, we will check it out…

This works correctly for me (windows XP)
Filename “example”

Confimed in Windows XP as well
Filename “example.try”

Never seen this, but it is very memory hungry.
How many files/what is size of data ?
How much ram do you have? -
This works correctly for me (windows XP)
Filename “example”I have confirmed bug 1 on XP SP2. above. It only occurs when “Enable PowerArchiver Queue” is not ticked in Options / Configuration / Queue / General.
I also noticed another bug. When I untick “Enable PowerArchiver Queue” and click the OK button the PowerArchiver Starter program closes down even if “Start PowerArchiver Starter when my computer starts” is still ticked.

Confirmed on XP SP2. Create 7z archive called junk.junk then options for ZIP appear in Add File dialog.
