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.
PA 11.00.78 Eating all System Memory
-
Hello All,
I’m running PA to decompress a zip backup file of 160GB and during the process my system becomes slow and unresponsive.
Digging a little bit I discovered that PA is using all my 8GB of RAM to do this process.
The normal operation of copy a large folder using Windows Explorer doesn’t consume all my system memory.
Machine Specs:
Vista Ultimate 64
8GB RAM
Core2Quad Processor.Any ideas?
-
that unusual as there is a limit in microsoft windows of 4gb of ram that can be used. so you can’t have 8gb on a pc computer.
-
Hello my friend,
The limit of 4GB only apply to 32bit operating systems.
I’m using a 64bit operating system and this is a completelly diferent situation.
Any ideas?
-
I’m looking to Task Manager and Powerarchiver is a 32 bit software. I will let try to do the same test on a 32 bit machine, and compare the results.
By the way, anyone does this kind of test? To decompress a large file (160GB) or compress it?
Maybe the problem is force a 32 bit aplication to handle a file that big.
No one have a clue?
What options that I have as paying user?
Regards,
Marcelo.

No ideas, but a few questions …
What format are you using, what was used to create the Zip?
Is the 160GB a single file or the size of the archive after compression?Note: 7z is “known” to be memory intensive.
-
I’m using a native .zip file, and the 160GB file is contained in one unique file.
I removed the PA and installed the 7zip 64 for testing purposes and I am able to decompress this file with no problems at all.
During decompress phase, the memory usage remains in the 1.6GB for whole system, and no huge increase was noticed.
With PA, the memory usage grows and grows until the system start to become unresponsive.
I have 8GB of memory and a Q9450 Quad Core processor. The core usage still low but memory usage becomes high few minutes after.
I guess we have a kind of bug here…

Marcelo - this is currently an issue with huge single file, it is the size of single file that matters, not commulative size of the archive and it is an zip issue only.
We will be solving it in update to the zip engine later on this year, however it is not an simple fix for us (we will be replacing our zip engine completly).
thanks

Well, at least you guys know the bug and are working on it.
Meanwhile, because my work needs I keep going using the another program, and please, when a fix was released, I really apreciate to get informed.
I’m a paying user for a long time and I like very much the user interface and the add-ons… :D
Very thanks for your support.
Marcelo.

WOW, you’re kidding right? :confused: You should be ashamed for making such a statement.
