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.
Switching Interface loses Quick Access Toolbar
-
Upgraded to Beta 2 (50.11.37); PA started in Modern View.
Switched to Classic View - then Switched back to Modern and when PA restarted (automatically) the Quick Access Toolbar was missing.Uninstalled PA and rebooted. Installed Beta 2 and selected Modern View, no other options changed (running unregistered) - QAT is present.
Closed PA, restarted and switched to Classic.
Closed PA, restarted and switched to Modern - Quick Access Toolbar is now missing.
The right-click option to select above or below Toolbar is available and either option can be selected.Note: Still running unregistered.

I can’t confirm the problem above…
QAT working fine for me following TBGBe’s steps but I am using registered PA.Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 -
but I am using registered PA.
So am I - I only tried reinstall without registering to be as default as possible.
Regarding my problem, with the Modern active (no QAT) I tried “set Defaults”
- PA restarted/switched to Classic view :eek:
Switched back to Modern, but still no Q.A.T. :(

strange indeed Terry…
I’ve tried every variation I can think of to confirm this bug but I can’t.stupid question but when uninstalling did you clean registry entries and C:\Windows\Prefetch of all traces?
it’s just a practice I have when uninstalling anything these days…as you can see I’m clutching at straws here…:(Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 -
it might be something more specific than that… we will take an look…

I’ve tried every variation I can think of to confirm this bug but I can’t.Yes, but I have had it before - with the restarting problem. So before beta 2.
stupid question but when uninstalling did you clean registry entries and C:\Windows\Prefetch of all traces?
No. I believe PA configuration is held under single Reg Key. So uninstall and reboot is all that is needed.
I have never touched Windows/Prefetch :confused: -
it might be something more specific than that… we will take an look…
Ok.
Just for clarification :
The QAT was present after performing the upgrade; and after uninstalling / reinstalling.
It disappears after the skin switch (Modern / Classic / Modern) and stays gone after further switches and restarts.
I can’t find a way to make it reappear except for uninstalling / reinstalling.
