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.
Unsupported Method: JPEG in zipx Archives

PowerArchiver Version: 11.50.49
I just got my first real .zipx file today…
…and I was unable to extract some of the files with a CRC error.
It turns out it was occurring on all the jpeg files. Opening the .zipx file up in PA and showing the “Method” column reveals “Unsupported” for all the jpeg files. I’m sure it has to do with the new compression method for jpeg files that WinZip added in 12.1. (I’m guessing it’s arithmetic coding, much like StuffIt added a while back?)
I ended up having to download the WinZip trial to unpack the files. Blech. Thank goodness for VirtualBox.
I can supply a sample archive, if you’d like.

zipx jpeg algorithm extraction is still not in PA 2010… hopefully within a month we have that working as well. All we have to work off is pdf file for specs, to make it as hard as possible :)

i can tell you a lot more info than some random person doing some random test :)

like PA being only utility that can select different methods for 7zip compression in the same file at the same time (if it will compress text files with ppmd, other files with lzma).
Reason zip and zipx is worse, even if it has same actual algorithm support (lzma) is that it does not support solid archives, if it did, it would actually have better results than 7zip itself because it has dedicated wav and jpeg compression, together with ppmd and lzma that 7z uses.

useful info…thanks for the lesson boss…:)

Is the ability to compress Jpg files Proprietary to Winzip or will PA have the ability as well?
Im slightly confused but Their 12.0 release had .Jpg compression and didnt change their format to zipx i believe. with 12.1 it was zipx if you compressed jpg without legacy or something?
-
-
change in extension to ZIPX is not due to new changes, just because people got confused with what exactly is ZIP as there are now 6-7 different compression algos inside.
-
Sorry, i ment will PA be able to compress .Jpg the same way winzip does now as .zipx, at some point or just extract like .rar?

its doable, we will see, first we need to implement extract :)
