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.
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.
Command prompt issues (b3)
-
I’ve run into multiple “issues” using the command prompt (love the idea btw!).
1. ctrl-C doesn’t work to cancel a running command (like a ping -t). It opens the powerarchiver converter. If your cursor is in the command window, it should function just like windows command prompt. I had to close powerarchiver to stop my ping.
2. it will let you put your cursor anywhere, but only takes a command from c:, so this could be confusing.
3. using ping as an example again, it is putting about 5 blank lines inbetween responses, which is very annoying (one line shows in the window).

are you actually talking anout the command line version pacl

I believe he is talking about “command Prompt” sub-window in PA.
“Options/ Command Prompt”.… it should function just like windows command prompt.
Not sure about this. It is a PowerArchiver command prompt - all the PA keyboard shorcuts are “active”. So PA only passes input to windows if it is not a PA command.
-
Yes, the built in command prompt sub window. If ctrl-C won’t work, then how do you propose canceling a command without closing PA?
-
There is also no way to copy/paste from the command window, which I frequently need to do. Can this also be implemented?
-
Check with beta 5 via web update… should work fine :)
-
well, ctrl-c works for copy and ctrl-v for paste, but ctrl-c doesn’t abort a command like ping -t that normall runs forever (have to close PA), and there is still an annoying few spaces between each reply.
-
I really wanted to make PA my “go to” application to replace windows explorer and command prompt, but these command prompt issues are just total dealbreakers for me…i hope you can revisit these issues now that PA 2010 is out the door :).
-
which ones? ctrl-c?
-
yes, and the extraneous spacing between command replies.
-
doesnt seem so hard to fix.
-
good to hear :) looking forward to an update! Oh, and btw, fantastic work on PA2010.
