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.

Hi,
Power Archiver is working beautifully, but I am having one basic problem. I can’t figure out how to navigate to my desired destination folder. I am dragging and dropping the RAR contents to the desired destination but am sure there is another way to do this.I’m thinking I should be able to click a button to say unpack to…
Many thanks,
sue -
you mean extract button?

yes, with the ability to navigate to the desired destination for the extracted files.

Many thanks,
sueIf you have PowerArchiver open, then with the rar archive open, click the Extract button - a dialogue opens where you select the destination.
If you are in Windows explorer (rather than Powerarchiver) then right click on the rar archive and select the option “Extract to …”
(may need to add this option using PowerArchiver / Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions ) -
there is quite large extract button in the interface… its not hard to find, so maybe for some reason you dont have it? Or did you just overlook it?
thanks!

Thank you so much. I just tried it and it worked fine. What happened when I initially clicked it was it extracted my files without the dialog that is presented. So it was a goof and I didn’t try it again as I didn’t want it to continue placing files where I didn’t want them to go.
We’re all set now.
with gratitude,
Sue -
great, thanks
