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.
Erroneous password
-
I am working with PowerArchiver 11.02.03 When attempting to test our backups we have noticed an erroneous password has been placed on our files. I am the only one with access to this program and have not changed anything. Does anyone know what may have caused this to happen and how to fix it? Is there a way to break the erroneous password? Your help is greatly appreciated.! :eek: :eek: :eek:

… Is there a way to break the erroneous password?
What format is the backup (zip, 7zip, tar.gz … ??).
What type of password encryption (zip, AES, PAE ?) did you use? -
you mean backups are password protected? maybe someone inputed password?
if you forgot the password, i am not sure much can be done…

The backup I ran last night is good and I can extract from it. But previous backups we cannot access the individual files. We can use the password on the zip folder, but not the individual files….I don’t understand how this could have happened.
TIA…is it friday yet?

All of our backups are passworded…but somehow the password was changed to a bunch of symbols, etc…

Do we assume that you have identified/remembered the password somehow?
Is this backup using a pbs file (so you see password in PA GUI) or what?

I have known my password all along. An erroneous password of all odd symbols was in the password section instead of what I usually use. I am at home right now, but it was something with umlates, boxes, and various other symbols. I have sent 2 different pbs files to PA support.

password is encrypted when saved, so if you check pbs files, it will look weird…. so someone cant just look into your pbs and find out password that you use…
