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.
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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

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 b1

Just installed it over 2009, no issues so far. Seems a bit slow to start, extraction ops tried so far do not seem any quicker than 2009. XP SP3 4GB dual core cpu. Using ‘extract here’ context menu item. The delay until the box/window which contains the progress bars still takes the same amount of time to ‘fill in’ as 2009 - I was told that the plan was to eliminate this in 2010.
Couple of comments on the interface though…the sort arrows on each column heading is very feint, very easy to miss them. The column headings are gray in the modern, blue interface - I don’t recall that in 2009.

compression is multicore (deflate and lzma in zip).
Maybe you need to restart your computer, extract is instant for me or maybe there is an AV checking pa.exe when it starts which is cause of delay?
There was an delay previously that was elimitated but you might have some other “issue”.

I will restart my PC later and check things out.
Did I do right by installing over 2009 or should I have uninstalled first? It looked like the installer did an uninstall anyway.

should be fine…

I installed on top of 2009 and had no problem. I did notice a performance increase regarding the main window rendering.
With 2009 when I started PA, the window would paint then the ribbon (with tabs) then I would see the buttons come into view.
When closing PA. The buttons would disapear, then the ribbon would collapse and lastly the window would close.
With 2010, when I launch PA the window and its components appear instantly and when closing I also noticed a much faster response.
I mostly have only been able to test RAR archives. But so far no issues.

yep, there was significant interface speed increase with modern interface…
