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.
Strange scheduled backup behavior
-
Ok… Here we go again… Seems that PA gets more and more probs with every release… :eek:
Scheduled task runs every night. Backup works fine. Uploading to ftp doesn’t work.
Uploading C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp_PA1753544759\bkshares-19-11-2008.7z

Backup Done. — 19.11.2008 09:09:29HOW can this be? I have several other pa backups running on this server. Upload works fine!! This is the only scheduled task that doesn’t upload…
-
something due to the permissions maybe? Does it happen every time or just once?
-
Permissions are fine because the scheduled job runs and creates a file. This is just not uploaded.
When I run the job manually everything works fine.Happens all the time…

and other backups, ftp works fine when scheduled?
-
Yes… Even on the same machine… Checked really everything. All settings are the same…
-
try changing the name of the backup file and then running “schedule”… does it work then?
-
for schdule - is the same user account used as the one when you execute backup manually?
-
Yes it is… Created a new file and changed the name and it works now… No idea why… This is not the first time that some jobs work and some don’t. No idea why…

if it works with changed filename, then for some reason ftp could not delete old file…
are all of your backups with filenames that dont change?
-
They do change and are copied every night per script to different directories.
So for PA there is just an empty directory…
