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.
Extraction error for chinese filename
-
I am using vista 86x and when I try to extract a zip file with a chinese filename it always gives an error.
I have to change the name to english characters to be able to extract.
so far vista can support chinese filenames and so can my programs.
-
Can you provide more information on the error? a screenprint would help. Also the version you are using RC1 or the Last Final including the revision number.
This will assit the developers to quickly assess the problem and try duplicating it.
-
Did you enable chinese support for non-unicode programs? that should make it work.
thanks,

Hi
The 1st and 2nd image is when I try to double click the rar file in power archiver. The 3rd image is when I right click in windows explorer.the files are not damage as I can extract them if I change the names to english.
I guess the problems could be configuration. I have went thru the configurations and could not find the chinese support for non unicode.
Thanks

Sorry, can’t see them (too small).

This is in Windows configuration - not PowerArchiver configuration.
Does the problem happen with other formats or is it only RAR (e.g. can you do a quick test with a 7z file with chinese name).
-
you need to enable it in Control Panel> Regional and Language Settings> Advanced.

sorry about the images…. anyway it paritially works with 7s but not with rar
tested both rar and 7s
Rar
when i right click in windows explorer, the options avaliable are compress instead of extract.
and when i double click it in power archiver it gives an error saying its not the right filetype7s
gives the same thing in windows explorer…(no option to extract…
however it works when i open power archiver and double click the file. -
you need to enable it in Control Panel> Regional and Language Settings> Advanced.
look above.

There are 2 types of chinese characters, do you mean everytime i need to extract archive with different chinese type i need to
Control Panel> Regional and Language Settings> Advancedand restart the PC for few minutes just to extract the file??? Please make a program that support unicode. In addition, I do NOT like to set the regional setting other than English unless no choice.
Besides 2 types of chinese characters, there are still japanese, korean… which are commonly used. Changing the regional setting and restart PC for 5 minutes just to extract archive(s) is not the solution . Renaming the file to english name is much faster in this case, but very troublesome. Powerarchiver needs to overcome this.
