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.
Folders with many *.rar files

This was fixed in the betas, now one can only double-click in the first RAR to see what is in the archive. Just tested it in a folder containing 49 RAR files.

what is the name of archive? I tried on .r43 and worked fine…?

It is the ‘other’ type of archive, *.part1.rar, *.part2.rar etc.
I reported the same bug in the betas and it took a couple of goes to get it right…same problem again.
I have kept the archive for testing for you…normally delete them.

does shell ext work properly?

does shell ext work properly?
Only if I use *.part01.rar, not if I right-click on any of the other *.rars.

Yes I am.
The file names in my case are 55 characters long, excluding the extension.
BINGO! I renamed all the files so that they were 32 characters long and the problem went away.

P.S. Are you aware of any limit? If so, what is it? Tnx.
Just a quick edit to bump.
-
What is the limit with filenames? I come across many .rar files like the above.

it probably has to do with filename itself, send me one that doesnt work via pm if it is sensitive, if not, post it here (but real one)….

I believe there is a total (Windows) limit of 255 [254 ?] characters for the FULL (drive + path + filename) length. Assuming “legal” characters, there is no additional limit for the filename part alone.

There was nothing strange about the file name itself. The actual archive itself was DVD-sized ;). I don’t have another to test, otherwise I would change the file name length and test it that way.
