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.
RAR support and slow loading?
-
Title says all.
BTW: Does anybody think that PowerArchiver start slow? always when I start it so I have to wait like 3-5seconds then appear window about trial and I have to click to agree then it is fast.
My computer is enough fast start it to 1second - C2D - E8400 - 3GHz, 4GB ram, Windows Vista 64bit.
Where could be problem?

SneakerXZ,
Welcome to PowerArchiver forums!
just search forums and you will find a lot duplicate threads about full rar support.
The short answer is: PowerArchiver does NOT support creation of RAR archives and this is no planned. No other utility except WinRAR itself can create rar files.
But PowerArchiver includes 7z format witch outperforms rar compression rates.try disabling skins to make PowerArchiver to load faster…
thanks,

Thank you for answer.
I tried all skins and no change, still I have to wait 5seconds sometime even more to load it. It isn’t very comfortable when I want to extract archive and I have to wait 5sec and more to load it then click to Agree and then it starts extracting.
Where is a problem? :/ It’s very serious.
I changed topic title to be more precise.
-
Did you enable the queue?

… It isn’t very comfortable when I want to extract archive and I have to wait 5sec and more to load it then click to Agree and then it starts extracting.
An alternate (and quicker method) is to use the shell extensions from Windows Explorer :D

Yes, I did.

Quicker maybe, but not so comfortable :)

what version of PA do you have? PA should not start in 3-5 seconds, on your compter it should start under 1 second.
What Antivirus do you have?
-
if explorer view is open, it might delay start if startup folder is full of files/folders…

PowerArchiver 2009 Trial
ESET NOD32

If you talk about Folder browser which can be enabled/disabled with “Folders” button so.
I close it and now it starts ok, but it’s weird, because when I open random archive so explorer shows only that file so show only one file in explorer shouldn’t take so long.
-
change your startup folder in config> folders to something simple as C:\test…
it seems right now your startup folder is folder which might take few seconds to load in explorer view and hence the delay?
-
I did, but It opens that folder, but whole folder tree is still extracted and I can’t change default folder for it. It uses Desktop.
there is screenshot http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/5181/200810042226qc8.png I don’t have so many files :/, do I?
