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 2010 Beta

I like this very much!
-
same here!…enjoying it now.

Does one uninstall 2009 first or install over the top.
Cheers

I downloaded it and installed over 2009, thus retaining my preferences etc.
But that’s because I trust the PA guys!
I think that you should be able to install to a different folder and thus run both versions. I haven’t myself done this with PA, and I would suggest that you seek guidance in the Tech forum if you feel you want to keep both.
-
you can simply install it over PA 2009 and it will work great, even registration will work :-).

@PABlog:
PowerArchiver 2009 Beta 1 Preview is out - Pro users Exclusive!
Either it is “old news” or some editing is required :p

:-)

The new version is nice indeed. There is a small problem with the licence system: after installing it over 2009 version, uninstalling and reinstalling it as a fresh program the trial popup appeared saying that the program had expired. It didn’t accept my licence initially (!), only after running the program in trial mode for a couple of times. Strange. My OS is Win 7 x64 build 7000.
2 requests:
- a native x64 version :)
- make that white background dissapear; it’s sooo ugly
-
indeed it took me several attempts before it would accept my registration details…:(
strange I don’t get the white background in vista.
-
My OS is Win 7 not Vista. :)
-
i think it might due to different 64bit shell extensions… thats good thing to check here.
-
p.s. no 64bit version - there is not need for it as there would be no gains whatsoever in any aspect of PA.

Not even with 7-zip compression and large dictionaries? I’d expect that it could take advantage of extra RAM.
What about at least compiling large address aware? That way the x64 users could at least use 4 GB of RAM.

nope… ultra mode of 7z uses 750 MB of ram all together… and block sizes dont have anything to do with ram usage (so you can have 16 GB solid block for instance).

On the context menu icon, I thought I would mention this topic: http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2948
Possibly related since Frank is running x64?

Although this is not a thread for reporting bug, we did some fixed for next and hopefully transparency problem will be solved. I tested with XP x64 and Vista x64 with no problems so far.
-
i am closing this thread, if you have bug to report, please report it in its own thread and in tech support forums.

thanks
