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.
Deleting files from 7z format archives
-
I recently started to recompress some of my folder backups from Zip to 7z to save some space.
I never noticed this before but I made a copy of on of these backups and went to remove extraneous files from the copy. But under this 7z format, the Delete option was greyed out. Under the Zip format, (the same archive of files) allowed me to delete the files I wanted.
Why am I not able to delete files from a 7z format archive?
-
7z archives are solid just like CAB files. It is not possible to delete file from a solid archive.
The only way is to extract the arvhive, delete the files and then recompress the archive.
Keep looking for interesting software.

@Jr:

Yes that’s probably what’s happening in this case. It’s worth nothing though that 7z archives are optionally solid – you can choose solid or not solid when you create a 7z archive. Obviously solid usually gives better compression ratio with the trade off that you can’t delete files from the archive.
-
I thought that the miscellaneous option “Enable transparent updating for 7-ZIP for files smaller than…” would allow you to delete files within a solid 7z archive (in this case PowerArchiver would extract/delete/recompress for you behind the scenes).
I have this option checked and the Add operation is enabled, but the Delete operation is not. Should it be?
-
I have tried selection the option to have the 7z Solid and not Solid on many occations when using large spreadsheets and it still does not allow me to select delete within the archive.
Would this possibly be a bug I wonder?
-
There is a simple way to resolve this and that is to allow updating i.e un 7z and re 7zing up and if it encounters not enough space for the operation a warning message comes up.

for 2008 we will add “updating” to transparent support…
We cant properly detect if archive is sold it or not, so we cant have delete/add to non-solid archives, WITHOUT transparent option…

Gotcha! ;) cheers Spwolf
