    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    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

    Better ZPAQ support
    W

    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.

    Bug with "Encrypt Archive" action
    W

    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)

      Set the ‘Folders’ to Explorer Display Style, so the address bar is visible. Type in a path and press enter. The contents of the explorer window dosent change to the path you entered.

      Also the address bar really needs a go button. I attached a screenshot of the bug.

        seems to work always here… maybe there is some specific case where it does not work?

        It seems that it changed your address properly, but it not update the contents. What happens when you hit enter again?

        Go button is sooo 90’s :).

        thanks

              Typed C:\ and hit enter. Preview pane didnt update. I clicked the address bar again (as it lost focus) and hit enter a second time. Then the preview pane updated.

              Dropdown and selecting folder(s) does not work. In the attached screenshot you’ll see the contents of the root C:. I then dropped down and selected Desktop. The explorer pane didnt update. I tried selecting another folder and drive, still wont update.

              Im running a clean install of Beta 2 on Vista Business 32.
              *Explorer pane not be confused with the folders pane

              Edit: A go button might be 90’s but I like to click and would rather click a button as opposed to hitting enter twice :D

                can still confirm it worked for me Marc following your procedure…not that it helps your situation though…:(

                typing c:\ or any other drive for that matter and hitting enter took me to that location and updated the preview pane.

                  Im at a total loss here. Here are two more screenshots of what works and what dosent. Hopefully they will provide some clue.

                  If the folder pane is off then the address bar is nonfunctional.

                    ah…this time I got the same response…‘nothing’.
                    it didn’t update or even go to the location I typed in Marc…sorry if I misled you.

                    I can confirm it is indeed a problem/bug…thanks for making it clear.

                    Update.

                    I’ve tried it on a couple of occassions and it seems intermittent…
                    one minute it worked and then on the next attempt later it wouldn’t…very strange indeed.

                              I can reproduce it too (XP/Vista). It looks like the OnChange trigger of the dropdown list isn’t working when folders is disabled.

                              1. Make sure you open a version where explorer with folders in on.
                              2. Select the Explorer Display style. What I do notice, the filelist changes to a different folder than I had currently selected.
                              3. Now select a different folder from drop down list. It will never update the Filelist.

                                  I also still see this problem with Beta 4 (running WinXP SP2). Note that (for me anyway) having the Folder window open or closed does not affect the problem. The problem only shows up for the files pane - the Folders pane gets updated properly.

                                      My 2 screenshots in post 7 describe the problem pretty good. If the folder treeview is visible with the files pane then what happens is the folder tree updates as it should. But the files pane still shows the contents of the previous folder.

                                      If you have the folder tree off (which I do) then the files pane simply will never update no matter what location you type into the address bar and hit enter.

                                      Really though in both instances, the files pane does not update. 1st screenshot shows with folder tree and second one shows without folder tree. So in the second one when the folder tree is off, there is no way to update the files pane by typing a new location. Type hit enter, nothing happens.

                                          I can make a movie (after installing some freeware app) but all it will show is a PA window with the file pane visible. Then the text C:\Windows being typed into the address bar followed by the enter key (which wont show). The files pane will not update and display the contents of C:\Windows.

                                          I’ll make a movie. Maybe it will show something I am not describing.

                                                I have been unable to reproduce this when typing an entry - however, I did get the same result (no update) when choosing Desktop from the address dropdown.

                                                Unfortuantely, like mwb1100, it is not reliably reproducible for me. I get the problem sporadically ( twice in about 15 attempts); also it does not persevere when trying different entries/selections from list :confused:

                                                  Unfortuantely, like mwb1100, it is not reliably reproducible for me.

                                                  If I left the impression that this was difficult to repro, I’m sorry - I have no problems reproducing the problem. It happens for me each and every time, exactly the same as MarcFou describes. My only ‘contribution’ to this thread is that it happens for me on WinXP SP2 so it’s not a Vista specific problem.

                                                    Sadly I can reproduce this 100 times out of 100. In previous betas it would sometimes work. The only way it will work for me is to do the following…
                                                    -Type C:\ (for example)
                                                    -Hit Enter key
                                                    -Click the address box to select the text C:
                                                    -Press Enter again
                                                    -Files pane then updates

                                                    Otherwise type+enter does nothing. The only other info I can add is settings.

                                                    I do see one discrepency here. From the UI on the toolbar, under Folders I have “Explorer Display Style” NOT Explorer with Folders. But in the Preferences, View section it says: Viewing Style = Explorer style (with folders).

                                                    Could it be as simple as a conflict of settings? See attached.

                                                    Edit: Just realized I am using PC Tools ThreatFire (threatfire.com) and it installs a keyboard driver to monitor/detect key logging. Could the driver be the cause?

                                                      everything is fine there… can you send us your settings again at support at conexware.com?

                                                      thanks

                                                          Done. Hopefully it may provide some clues.

                                                            The issue remains in Beta 5.

                                                              I tried PA 2009 Beta 4 on another Win XP SP2 machine, and the problem does not occur on it. I don’t know what might be responsible for the different behavior between the two machines.

                                                                I mailed spwolf a movie how to reproduce the problem. So I guess this gets fixed.
