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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

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.
The unnecessary folder extraction problem
-
Hi,
I was wondering how to extract a sub-folder without extracting the whole directory that holds it.Say I want to ONLY extract a folder called typeB (and its sub-folders). In explorer view, TypeB is located in:
Archive\type\TypeB
When I click extract, its extracts Archive and all selected folders within it. I ONLY want the TypeB folder.
I want to look and see ‘TypeB’ in my desktop not ‘Archive’
Note, however, that I can click and drag the ‘TypeB’ folder and ONLY the type B folder will be extracted. If thats so why doesn’t the normal extract function do that as well?
ALL ARCHIVE PROGRAMS SEEM TO DO THIS. WHY?
I’ve looked for solution. but cannot find
-
You need to turn on Explorer view, and then drag and drop folder you want extracted… it will work fine.

Thnx.
However, the issue is that I’m installing custom addons for my counter strike.Most addons come in archives that are prepacked to extract into the game’s root directory.
Lets say the game’s root directory has folders skins, maps, models - and subfolders in each of those.
Then the archive should be formatted as such
e.g skins…, maps…, models…
This way everything extracts to its place.If I were to click and drag in explorer view into game’s root dir, it would ask me to REPLACE the game’s skins, maps, models folders! :( so I must extract it!
But lets say an arhive has an unecessary root folder in it.
e.g Vio1at0r\skins…, maps…, models…I can’t extract skins, maps, models WITHOUT extracting Vio1at0r. So that in my game’s root dir theres an unwanted Vio1at0r folder, and my addons are not installed because the game does not recognize the Vio1at0r folder!
I have to open the Vio1at0r folder in explorer view. Extract skins…, maps…, models… folders into an empty folder.
Then create a new archive thats just skins… maps… models.
Then extract that new archive into the games directory so that every file is put where its supposed to be. Then when that’s done delete the archive i just created._Why can’t I just open up the Vio1ator folder, highlight the skins, maps, models and then extract ONLY those into the game’s root direcotry so that everything is in its place.
thnx again_

It is not going to replace the folder, it will write to it. You are giving this too much thought.
You can do exactly what you want, and it will work properly in explorer mode.
Of course, with latest PA 2007 - I am not sure if you are using some old version or not.
