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.
10.20.02 with old toolbar startup funny

I’m using 10.20.02 beta with the old style toolbar. When I start PowerArchiver with no archive part of the window is “see-through” and my wallpaper shows through. Image1.png is attached showing the effect.

interesting… what happens when you set defaults?

Not sure which defaults you refer to.
As soon as I start to use it it redraws correctly.

Okay, maybe it’s something specific to the particular video drivers on my system. Wait and see if anyone else reports it.

Good Point Brian, are there any updates for the current video card?
-
I’ve tried on my Vista and my XP machine and seems to work fine each time. I have ATI cards.
-
Have it too. It only happens on the desktop.

I think it has something to do with the the Grid component. I have a dutch windows, maybe this is creates the problem.
-
I seem to have fixed this. It stopped when I uninstalled Novatix Cyberhawk. Maybe it was some weird interaction between Cyberhawk and either PowerArchiver or my ATI display drivers.

@Sir:

Updating my ATI video drivers is rather complicated and error prone. Also it’s somewhat vague as to which is the latest version that still supports my ancient video card.
-
-
Nope. Have no idea what that is.
-
b3.07 still has this problem.
-
this is a known fault with vista which i have been told is in the process of being fixed by microsoft. It basically is the combination of old video cards and new software like powerarchiver which use new componets that vista have to offer. no time scale was given when i relaed this problem to microsoft though they say they are looking into it
-
That’s funny. Mine is on XP :)
-
Have youi changed your browser recently as i know that, that can cause the problem. Can you let us know what updates are on your system and youir system specs.
-
not fixed in .08

@Brian Gregory
Could you also post the same screenshot made with explorer? I think you have another Icon above my document that is causing the problem.
I think I have found mine. “Driverstudio Remote Data”. For some reason PA can’t handle this, and it screws up the refresh of the filelist.

Above “My Documents” is “My Computer”.
I used TweakUI to make them appear in that order.Anyway problem is gone now I’ve uninstalled Cyberhawk.

Disabling video hardware acceleration might give a clue as to whether it’s the video driver or not. In “Display Properties”, click on the “Advanced” button then the “Troubleshoot” tab of the Video Adapter properties page that shows up.
If the problem goes away after ratcheting down the Hardware acceleration and/or turning off write combining then the problem is almost certainly he video drivers.
