    Thanks.

    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

    BigMikeB

    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?

    Hi,

    From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    Thanks

    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.

      Hi,

      since I upgraded to 11.50.23, PA has problems opening tar.gz files.

      On my Vista x64 quad-core machine, it shows me a CRC error.
      On my XP x86 single-core machine it just hangs up without an error.

      The error seems to occur turing the .tar phase, so extracting the .gz first seems to work.

      This happens with every tar.gz file I’ve tried so far, but opening .zip or .rar still works.

      Best regards.

      PS: I really love the changes you’ve made in the newest version. Thanks for such an awesome product.

        can confirm a problem when opening a tar file…
        program just hangs and I have to close it via task manager.

            I receive this CRC error too.

            Easily reproducable because it happens with every .tar.gz file.

                seems to be working fine for me now in 11.50.28
                but I have a question regarding the use of .tar and the ‘store’ method.
                I tested this option but it didn’t create any file for me even after several attempts.

                    .30 is up and should be good with tar files…

                          not only that but both compression and decompression of tar.gz/bz2 should be a lot faster now :-)
