    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

    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.

      Win XP SP3

      I have been working on a Zip where I have added files from a folder to it with these selection settings:-

      • Add Folder
      • Move (and replace) files
      • Method LZMA
      • Compression Maximum
      • Include subfolders
      • Don’t store paths

      All other options unchecked, and profile is ZIP Default.

      When I use these settings, my files are moved from the source folder into the Zip. HOWEVER, that source folder is also DELETED. This is not helpful where for example I have a folder called, for example “Daily Letters” in which I create a bunch of day’s stuff, then move it to Zip leaving the folder ready for the next day’s work.

          Sorry about that - as a software developer I know the feeling!

          The main problem I have with this is that in previous versions the file-oriented approach was used i.e. moving moved the files but left behind an empty folder. If the approach is now to move and delete both files and folders then our working methods will have to change.

          I must say that the previous method which used “folder” as a convenient method of identifying a group of files therein ready for moving is far more logical in my view than the present “move/delete folder” approach.

            I have tested this some more and have some odd results.

            First, I create a new zip and move files from my folder Outex (a subfolder of My Documents) to it. The files move and Outex remains. Settings are as mentioned before.

            I do the same for the folder Exout, and Exout disappears.

            There is one inconsistency. I have used both Exout and Outex before, so I have them available from the Add folder dropdown. When I do the second add to Exout, I select it and my chosen folder appears as OUTEX. When I go back again and select Exout again, I then get both folders in my add list, from which I remove Outex. Thereafter the Move removes Exout!

              The reason one folder stayed and the other went is that one is R/Only and the other ain’t.

              Which leaves the original problem or question of whether to delete folder and contents or just contents. Plus the dropdown/folder selection inconsistency.

                so basically first time same folder is added, ok we will check it out.

                as to the folder - you are moving folder, and many people complained before that if folder is being moved, it shouldnt be there anymore just like when you do it in explorer.

                I personally dont like folders being moved or I actually dont like moving of anything because some kind of error might happen and then what.
