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.
Files beginning with a period not included in new archive
-
As the subject states, PA refuses to include any files beginning with a period (such as .htaccess , etc ).
I thought this bug was fixed a long time ago ?
-
PACOMP was able to add files beginning with a period.
-
Although PACOMP was able to include the files in an archive, any path that was empty had an additional path created in the archive, that was not on the local system.
These additional paths all had two backslash characters as the path name.
This has been reported as a problem before, see http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2567&highlight=backslash
When is this bug going to be fixed ?
-
so PACL still has that old bug - ok, good to let us know.
as to the .files, let me see what can we do…
-
you tested with PACL 5.00 of course?
-
As the subject states, PA refuses to include any files beginning with a period (such as .htaccess , etc ).
Just for clarity, I suppose this is Powerarchiver 10.22?
Is this all formats or specific (Zip, Gzip etc)?
@peterr:PACOMP was able to include the files in an archive, any path that was empty had an additional path created in the archive.
Tried using PACL 5.00 beta 1 (Zip & Gzip), I don’t see the additional path as the empty folders are not stored at all :confused: So again what format(s)?
Note: That previous fix was for PowerArchiver. As you know, PowerArchiver and PACL are two different utilities with different fault reporting/fixing :)

If you see my first post in this thread, you will see it is PA (Powerarchiver, latest version) that cannot add the files beginning with a period.
PACOMP can add them, however it also added the paths beginning with a backslash.
The archives are TAR.GZ

Tried with a ZIP archive, and the files beginning with a period are included. However, a ZIP file is no good to me.

but what version of PACL???

The problem is with Powerarchiver, the latest version, the problem described is “Files beginning with a period not included in new archive”.
This is a PA forum, not a PACL forum. ;)
