    J

    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.

    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

    BigMikeB

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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

    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
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      Regardless which skin you are using (I Default Silver Ribbon)

      1. Open PA
      2. Option’s - “Configuration”
      3. Within “View” click “OK”
      4. Click “Configuration” again then go through each tab one by one click ok after select.

      Miscellaneous “OK”, Folders “OK”, FTP Profiles “OK”, Location “OK”…

      After Locations my PA locks up and I can’t click the OK Button anymore!

      Also regardless of this if you open PA click Configuiration then select “File Formats” the OK button just doesnt work I can’t exit the screen without Selecting the cancel button.

        I can confirm on XP Pro SP2.
        On viewing Process Explorer, PA was using 98% CPU at this point.

        Oddly enough it works fine on XP Home SP2 machine.

                Which is concirning as if you have this issue using a final version and not a beta it must mean it has been around for a while.

                Don’t ask what urged me to click ok on each menu I just felt like it. :D

                The joy’s of being part of the Alpha testing team i suppose :)

                    Cheers Luxor,

                    I don’t use home just XP Pro SP2 both for work and plesure. But i’m glad Home doesnt have any issues.

                    Is anyone else able to replicate this issue with the latest beta?? within any OS including Vista?

                      Tested with Vista.

                      First test, everything worked fine until I got to the location folder and then the ok button quit working. Cancelled and closed PA.

                      Second test, got all the way to Locations folder, this time OK button worked, but PA then froze, Vista window popped up saying program not responding and closed the PA program.

                                I did some changes in saving/loading options where were some memory leaks which probably some of them were connected with this issue so please check with 10.20.05 when it comes out. Thanks!
