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.
Pa2009: Bugs
-
There appear to be quite a few bugs in the local file explorer component (beta2). Here are the few i’ve found.
Running windows server 2008 (basically vista) 32bit.
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete.
- right-click new folder refreshes and collapses all folders, taking you to the desktop display. a folder called “new folder” is created.
- renaming a folder doesn’t work. Not via click on filename, F2, or right click rename. this is on the tree-view.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus
- F5 (refresh) with a folder in the tree selected collapses the entire tree.
-
can anyone else confirm these? I’m attempting to use powerarchiver as my new file manager, but these are show stoppers for me.

Never needed a compression app on a server. Maybe that’s the reason why so few are interested in your problems. Maybe they should try to reproduce this on a desktop os, in this case maybe Vista.

I’m running PA2009 Pro Beta 2 on WinXP SP2.
I do not see the following problems:
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus
I can reproduce the following:
- right-click new folder refreshes and collapses all folders, taking you to the desktop display. a folder called “new folder” is created.
- renaming a folder doesn’t work. Not via click on filename, F2, or right click rename. this is on the tree-view.
- F5 (refresh) with a folder in the tree selected collapses the entire tree.

Sorry about that…just figured since they were all related to the file explorer i’d keep them together. And yes, technically, server 2008 is equivalent to vista sp1. It’s functioning as my desktop (development box), and quite well i might add. :)
Thanks!

Tested everything in b3. These are still broken (updated with more detail)
- Deleting a folder loses focus of the main window (takes you to another application alltogether). This was on shift-delete. shift-delete from the main explorer window.
- moving a file via drag/drop also causes PA to lose focus. This happens when you move a folder from the main window into a folder in the tree-view.
Fixed in b3

Tested again in b4.

shift-delete of a folder causes PA to lose focus. i thought this was fixed in b4.
moving a folder via drag/drop into a subfolder in the tree view also causes PA to lose focus.
