    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

    Security vulnerabilities in 7zip / Update for PowerArchiver and PACL libraries?
    BigMikeB

    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

    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.

        I had this happen to me before. It was explained to me that unless you know the exact password, you will not be able to access the zip file.

          is it possible to send us that file? does it have long password? How many characters?

            The password is 8 characters long. Unfortunately the content of the file is too much confidential.
            I’ll try to reproduce the error so maybe I can send you something.

              you should be able to reproduce it, try same/similar password with similar file (size, file type, filename).

              that would help us a lot!

                Also, is this file created with PA 2009 or some older version?

                  The file is dated 24/06/2007 so could be created with a version before the PA 2009.

                      I too had several password protected zip files for which the latest beta would not extract when given the correct password. Reinstalling the last version (11/03/04) corrected the problem.

                        we fixed the issue - it was with encrypted archives created with PA 2007 and earlier… will be fixed in beta 3

                          Good! I wasn’t able to reproduce the error because I haven’t got anymore the old “right” version.

                            I also have an archive that opens with WinZip12, and which used to open in PA2009 (and PA2008). I have reproduced this problem in a sample archive and have attached it for inspection.

                            The passphrase is long:

                                Good answer – but that will be updated when? I have been limping along since April 1st by using an evaluation version of WinZip12.

                                Is version 11.50.37 not a production release?

                                  beta 2 you mean? its beta 2 :-). This bug was introduced in beta 2… so it will be fixed in next version.

                                    Got it. I had apparently checked the beta and official auto update option. The splash screen for 2010 doesn’t say “beta” and the “about” version didn’t have any “beta” so I didn’t twig that it was beta. I do now see that the install package says “b2.” I have downgraded to the v9.

                                    Thanks for the guidance.
