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.
Canceled extraction -> empty folder remains

Hi!
If I want to extract a password protected archive with rightclick -> Extract to “Filename”, PA asks for the password. In the meantime, PA has already created the subfolder for the archive. If I click “Cancel” in the password dialog, PA closes but it doesn’t delete the created folder.
Nothing serious, but a quite annoying behavior (Using PA v10.11.01).

Hi H4ndy,
I agree, have you tried this in the latest beta 4? 10.20.11.
Also what OS are you using?
-
Hi!
I’m sorry, but I can’t find a download for the beta versions of PA (not in the forums and not at my account page). Even the Auto-Update doesn’t tell me about the betas (retrieving beta versions is enabled). Isn’t there just no public download or I’m blind >.>
I’m using Windows XP Professional SP2 with all latest patches and updates (German).

Hi H4ndy,
You can find the latest download for PA Beta 4 on the Download Page within PowerArchiver.com.
You also have the option in PA Configuiration - “Auto Update” to check for “Lasest BETA and OFFICIAL version”
the direct link is as follows;
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2007/powarc1020b4.exe
if the latest release doesnt solve that problem, let us know as you may need to raise a request through the support site.

@Sir:

I can’t find a beta-link at http://www.powerarchiver.com/download/ … Just official releases except the beta3 Outlook-Plugin.
@Sir:

I have allways used this option as said above.
Maybe it doens’t work because I had used the german edition.@Sir:
Thanks, this links works.
With PA v10.20.12 (English) it’s the same “problem”.
It doesn’t deletes the created folder if I enter no or a wrong password.Shall I use the tech support form or just wait until spwolf or another admin finds this thread?
-
Hi H4ndy,
Thanks for you time on this, I personally would recommend filling in a support form as this is something I feel can be fixed through a script. wither the PA team can fix it in the next beta release I don’t know.
-
Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in 10.20.13.

Here you go for the new version:

Hi!
Thanks for the fast fix, but it’s not fully working.
If I enter a wrong password (message is “password is incorrect”), every thing works now as intended. But if I enter no password or click on “Cancel” (as I would do if I started the extraction by accident) (message is “password not set”) the problem remains :/ -
thanks!
