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.
Intermittent hangs on 7zip extraction
-
I’ve been experiencing intermittent hangs while extracting some 7zip files with PA 11.50.49. This past time, it happened while trying to extract a single file from an archive. It was 100% complete, but, the dialog box just sat, the buttons were clickable, but, didn’t exit the dialog. It had to be killed with task manager.
-
how were you extracting it, shell?
Do you have AV installed? -
I can confirm this…
I was extracting a 14 meg file from a 140 meg archive from within PA not via the shell and I cancelled it after 5 minutes of waiting.if I drag it from the archive to desktop it works fine but if I right click on the file and tell it to extract then this is where the problems begin.
it extracted the file in question but the extracting info box as seen in By-Tor’s screenshot remains open indefinately.

thats awesome, so how exactly are you doing it? right click on file in archive, then use extract button?
by-tor - how did you extract yours?
thanks!
-
as shown in this screenie…that’s the method I use to reproduce this error.
-
very simple, single file extract dont seem to work… very happy about this :). People will think i am crazy but it is very important that bugs are found as we know that they are there we just need help locating them!
-
Ok, I’m glad that’s cleared up. I had extracted it using the full gui, highlighting the file, then choosing extract from the toolbar.
-
Just experienced the same problem.
Using same extraction method as By-Tor. -
This issue has been fixed in following pre-release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha115/powarc1150rc3.exePlease let me know if it works fine now. Thanks!
-
Works fine now. Thanks.
-
