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.
Powerarchiver Main Window grows with every start
-
I’m using version 9.02.00 but noticed this in earlier versions too. Every time I start powerarchiver it grows one pixel in size. After some time the right and top parts of it are off screen. If I make the window smaller again, it starts new from that position.
I’ve looked in the registry now and there are two keys that grow accordingly.
1. HKCU/Software/PowerarchiverG/MainForm1600x1200Height
2. HKCU/Software/PowerarchiverG/MainForm1600x1200WidthAfter every start they are both 1 step bigger.
I’m using Windows XP SP2 but it was there with SP1 also. The only thing I can think of, causing this: I use a different Skin in windows through a altered “uxtheme.dll”.
But it makes no difference even I return to the standard “uxtheme.dll” and the standard XP skin.
any ideas ?
-
what programs are u running at the present momnet at start up and load before using pa.
have you tried in safe mode.
It might be another program calling a different skin or command, conflicting with pa.
what monitor and software for it do you have?
-
I thought it was my imagination, but I’ve seen the same behavior. I’m running in 800x600 on WinXP SP2 without any custom themes and basically only McAfee VirusScan on startup.
-
I have an IIyama Monitor (Vison Master Pro 450). There is no special software installed for it, besides the color scheme.
Usually only the Windows Explorer and Outlook 2003 are open. Other tools in the background are Messenger including Messenger Plus, GetRight and a support tool for an ISDN device.
There are no other tools which change skins or make other alterations to the gui. Or at least I’m not aware of.
In former version there was an optian alá “save postiton on exit”. If this would come back, this would fix this problem. Not the best solution, but maybe worth a try.
I’ll try in safe mode soon.
-
Sooner as I thought ;)
In safe mode the problem is the same. Even deleting the entire key in the registry and installing PA new, didn’t change anything.
The Tasklist during the safe mode was:
notepad.exe
taskmgr.exe
3x svchost.exe
lsass.exe
services.exe
winlogon.exe
csrss.exe
smsss.exe

LeerlaufprozessOne possibility may be the graphics driver. This is Nvidia 61.77 on a PCI Express 5900 card.
If I find the time, I’ll try it one the secondary computer.
BTW. the feature “use one window only” (supposed it is called that way in english) doesn’t seem to work. If I open multiple archives, everyone opens its own PA Window. But I remember this feature worked in the past. Maybe there is a problem with the german release.

Thanks!
The issue will be fixed in next release!

It’s definitely not the graphics driver. I’m running an ATI Radeon 9600 and have the same problem. I tried booting in safe mode too and still the problem persists. I’ll be anxious to see the next version that fixes this.

It is not - simply an small bug, each time when you restart PA, window would grow one pixel to the right and one pixel at bottom of the window.
We were alerted to it week ago via support and will be fixed in next update (already is).
thanks,
