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.
Backup problem Beta 5 German
-
I cannot adjust the scheduling of a backup job. The input mask of these backup options seems to be incomplete.
-
Try using “Erweiterte Optionen” (“Advanced Options”).
-
This does not help. See my screenshot for all available options.
And when I click on ‘Bearbeiten’ (Edit), the same page as in my first post opens. No option to change the day of the week or to modify the hour of creation.
-
Hi,
you can use Once per day + Advanced options, which will give you enough options to select time you want… thanks!
-
When the setting is set to Daily (‘Einmal täglich’) clicking on the Advanced options button causes no effect (no window appearing).

try closing backup and reopning it with daily set at the time you close it. Seems some issue with Windows XP and our daily scheduler.
You can also edit scheduler from backup list window as well, and that should work.
-
Ok, after closing and re-opening of the options dialog I can get the Advanced options page. But I cannot change there to weekly. And I don’t understand the advanced setting at all. I cannot set any options there and clicking on the ‘Edit’ button (my second post) returns me to the original window (now opened twice).

it is not that complicated, just look around.
You can set starting date and after how many days it is repeated - if you set every 7 days, you get weekly backup basically.
-
If I use the standard Windows tools to set up the scheduling (Task planner) then options window is correct and I can change the settings in proper way.
But I cannot access these setting using the Edit functions of PA. There I always get the buggy dialogs as shown above with no way to set up the options correctly. There is definitly a problem with this inside the PA!

ok… I am not sure what are we supposed to say - you can do it via daily option but you can also use windows scheduler… whatever you want…
thanks!

No, I want to say that I can ONLY do it via the Windows scheduler. The options in the PA do NOT work.
-
doing daily, and then selecting every 7 days instead of every day, does not work? Does it not save?
I tried it on Vista and seems to work fine?

The problem is that I don’t have the option to select 7 days in the advanced setting (as you can see in my second screenshot). Please notice the difference in the window when I access the same page with the Windows Task scheduler as in the picture attached to this post.
And any selection in the normal setting window does not have any effect (see my first screenshot).
-
what do you get when you select daily backup and then advanced? Show me that screen please…

Oh - misunderstood you.
The time is selected on the first screen.The weekly (or monthly) day of activation starts from TODAY - i.e. it uses the day of creation of the pbs as the beginning of the weekly/monthly schedule :p
However, you are correct, after changing time on the first screen the display of time under advanced does NOT change :confused:
Nor does it change the time of the scheduled task under windows/tasks :confused: -

Advanced is disabled for “daily backup” - clicking button does nothing.

you need to close pbs and try again, or do it through backup list schedule edit…

This is very confusing :(
Open/Edit existing pbs with schedule “Once a week @ 05:00”
Change schedule to “Once a day”
– Advanced Options :: no effect
Close pbs
Open/Edit pbs - schedule “Once a day @ 05:00”
– Advanced Options works :: “05:00 every day”
Change schedule to “Once a week” (leave time @ 05:00)
– Advanced Options works :: but “00:00 every Friday”
(so PA changed time to 00:00 but first screen still shows 05:00).
Close pbs
Open/Edit pbs - schedule “Once a week @ 05:00”
– Advanced Options works :: still “00:00 every Friday”So now Schedule and Advanced Options do not agree (time).
Now, change to “once a month” or “once a week”, doesn’t matter: Advanced always shows 00:00 - can open/close pbs as much as you want.Thus
- we cannot set the time for week or month backups.
- we cannot change the day of activation for week or month backups (always <today>using Day name or Date).
Edit: what is monthly date for September if create pbs on 31 August?
Would September backup be missed?</today> -

Seems like better option to me personally.

I think we should be able to configure:-
daily :- what time of dayweekly :- which day of week AND what time of day
monthly :- what time of day AND what date in month including e.g. last day of month (as a setting)
The day/date should not be fixed at<today>
The time should not be fixed at 00:00 nor at <now>.Maybe simplest to keep current fixed options for ease of use; and add a “custom” option which is fully configurable?</now></today>

Daily option is one that can be customized to whatever you need…

So how do I create a backup with following schedules -
Today is Saturday 30 Aug 12:00
- Create weekly pbs to run at 06:00 on Thursday ?
- Create monthly pbs to run at 18:00 on 15th ?
Only way I see is to change PC date/time??
-
Please check RC1 via web update and let us know if everything works properly now.
thank you!
-
(meaning: if daily works)
-
Has there been any modification in the actual release? RC1 shows the same bad behaviour as Beta5 on my computer.

nope, there is no time for that - you can configure daily option to whatever you want and you should use that…
we will improve on weekly/monthly in the first update after final is released…
-
Please try with final pre-release version:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1100rc5.exeAnd let us know if this has been improved right away.
thanks!

p.s. confusion here was that Vista and XP schedule options are different - Vista’s worked ok, while on XP it did not (should work now when you click on Edit!)
