    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    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.

      This strange behavior can’t be only pointed to the PA 2010, it happened also with the 2008 version, too. What it happens is that the PA process doesn’t decompress inmediately, it completes but after 1 or 2 minutes, i can see the process getting up in the Windows Task Administrator. I think this can be related to a performance problem for the application and i must wait being upset of course.

        what kind of antivirus are you using? Maybe it is scanning PowerArchiver before it lets it access files?

          I got Symantec Endpoint Protection v.11 with three protection technologies, antivirus and antispyware protection, proactive threat protection and network threat protection. Which of the three technologies do u think is scanning and giving this performance issue?:confused:

            I recall having a similar issue many moons ago…
            I’d try disabling the antivirus for a short period and test the decompressing once again just to confirm that it is indeed linked to the antivirus program.

              Thanks for your feedback. Would also try a centralized exception. But which file or executable must i choose, could be POWERARC.EXE? This could become handy to avoid the scanning issue, it’s a proactive threat scan with ignore action. Oh, i forgot, my system runs Vista Ultimate SP1, 2 GB RAM, 1TB WD Caviar Black, HP Pavilion

                I took drastic measures in the end and uninstalled the program in question and in the end I had to opt for a different program because it seemed neither developer had an answer for my problem.

                personally I’d try that just to eliminate that piece of software.

                  just turn off antivirus completly for few minutes just to make sure thats the cause of the issue (it might not be). Keep in mind that if you “disable” it, some AV’s still continue to work unfortunatly, so you need to turn it off and then check. Once alerted to the issue, AV vendors are usually relativly quick with addressing the problem, we just need to make sure it is due to AV and not something else.

                      I had a similar issue with ESET v’s 3 & 4, reported it to the developers and they could not find any solutions. So after searching far and wide I’m currently using norton internet security 2010 beta. So far it’s the least restrictive suite (extracting archives, launching programs and no slowdowns with LAN/WAN). You may want to give it a try if you haven’t found one you like yet. :)

                        surprised you had issues with ‘NOD32’ skypx…
                        it’s never caused me an ounce of trouble in any of their versions.

                        sorry for hijacking the thread.

                          Ditto! Today I compressed a 4gb Folder containing mdb,xls,csv’s,txt and dat files. Took 20 mins and I was using ESET Security Suite 4 But the same with Avast on another system. I have never had to disable my security software during normal work duties! However, I do when i play games.
