    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.

    Tech Support

    There is a CRC error on file: A.zip (PA2010 B3)

      When I extract a file from the archive the program gives that error but the file is excracted perfectly.
      Also when I open the archive the “Test” button isn’t enabled.

      This time I can send the file if you need.
      PA version 11.50.40

          The file is approximately 60 Mb.
          I think I can’t send such a big file via email…

              Ok, I’m uploading.
              At the end I’ll email you the link at the address provided.
              I don’t know how was created because I’ve found it on my hard disk and it’s there by a lot of time…

                    The archive seems to be spanned and corrupted - definetelly wrongly created. Some other utilities also report errors, some even don’t want to extract this archive, but also some of them do not report any issues with archive. But I using hexeditor passed through whole archive and saw many errors in headers so definetelly some error while creating.

                          oook :D
                          I understand.

                          The archive, I think, was made by some PA version.
                          There are about 5 years that I use only PA.
