    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    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:

    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?

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    Better ZPAQ support
    W

    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.

    Bug with "Encrypt Archive" action
    W

    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 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      PowerArchiver not recognizing Antivirus
      Don’t know if this a problem with other Antivirus or not.
      I use Avast and on scanning a file I get the message.

      You need to configure PowerArchiver to use a virus scanner before you can use this feature.
      Go to ‘Options tab’ -> ‘Configuration’ -> ‘Locations’ to configure a virus scanner.

      It is configured already and set to use ASHQUICK.EXE
      Tried changing by browsing to C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exe

      Same message.

        funny you should mention this Luxor…only yesterday I tried the same thing with the nod32 command line listed here on the forum but I got the same message.

        figured I’d maybe typed in the wrong info but I tried several times and in the end gave up.

        thanks for mentioning it.

              Works in build 11.50.27 if I select C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exe

                  it seems to be working in 11.50.30…
                  mine is configured for nod32 and does scan them but obviously doesn’t report any issues.
                  a box flashes up briefly but I don’t have time to read it.

                    update…

                    tried it with zip file containing 1900 files and scanned them all but locked up at 100% and had to be closed via task manager.
                    will do additional testing on various zips

                    could be a conflict with nod32 v4 I guess.

                    it will work with some and not with other zip files…on some it seems to hang at 100% for about 30 seconds before closing…I get the feeling it’s down to particular files in the zip file…the one that seems to hang all of the time for me contained my nvidia drivers but other test files close immediately.

                    this file ‘nvlddmkm.sys’ seems to cause it to hang.
