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.
Incorrect message for incorrect password
-
Trying to extract a password protected rar file (just one 75MB video) using shell, I entered a wrong password and PA gave me the “CRC error - continue YES/NO” dialog :confused:
Then I retried entering the correct password - extracted OK.
Then I thought to check from PA GUI.
But now when I tried to extract and entered an INCORRECT password, the file extracted OK :eek:Realised that PA had stored the correct password in Password Manager - should this be ignored when INCORRECT password is entered via dialogue? Or maybe have a “Use Password Manager” dialogue / Option instead?
Then I deleted the stored password.
Now incorrect password gave the same CRC dialogue.
Then I tried again - but pressed Cancel on the Password entry dialogue (nothing entered). PA reported “incorrect password” :p followed by the “CRC Error dialogue” again.
PA 11.00.55

Noted and sent to Dev team!
Thanks!!

I am not sure if we can have better error - we will check.
So PPMD is not used for shell - will see if we can add that as well… thanks!

PPMD :confused:
Password Manager did store the password from shell - that’s why first incorrect password in GUI was ignored.
Unless you mean the “ask to save password” dialogue - which does not appear from shell. -

Unless you mean the “ask to save password” dialogue - which does not appear from shell.wait - did it use password from PPM in shell or not?
thanks

Sorry if I confused you.
Sequence was- download rar
… new archive so no passwords stored - extract through shell - using incorrect password
… CRC error - extract through shell - correct password
- Check in GUI with incorrect password
… extracted ok - deleted from password manager (stored from step 3)?
etc.
Didn’t use shell again - all further testing (Cancel etc) using GUI.
- download rar

Please check RC1 via web update and let us know if everything works properly now.
thank you!

Fixed in RC1 (11.00.65).
