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.
Write directly INTO ZIP Bug
-
in the “Add” window
the “Write directly INTO ZIP” option is available for all archive types. But in the help stands
lets you add files to an existing ZIP directly, without using temporary folder first. This feature is very useful when handling large archives.
So I think this option should be disabled, if the user select other archives than ZIP

I agree with you… ;)

This probably slipped somehow through hands of our reliable alpha testers…
:-)Although it is really nothing but cosmetic issue, please try not giving us heart attack by writing “BUG” in subject of every thread with any kind of issue. When I see “BUG” in thread subject I immediatly think of something extremly major that breaks your computer, formats your drive, turns off your TV, empties your fridge, etc, etc.
:D

May I suggest having a separate “Bugs” sub-forum for all expected bugs. The Tech Support sub-forum could then be explicitly used for technical enquiries, leaving the “Bugs” forum for bugs or possible bugs threads.
This would make it easier foir PA staff to differeniate between posible bugs and technical enquiries.

Is that really needed? I was merely pointing to our Alpha testers that they missed the bug (in a joking way) and that it is not an big problem as subject suggested.
By default, I would expect every post in Tech support forums to be some kind of issue/bug, big or small.
In any case, thanks for the sarcasm!

I try to remember this next time I make a post :D

I’m puzzled, using PA 9.10.06 write directly into ZIP is disabled for me (CAB, 7zip, BH).

It is not disabled in shell extensions…

This issue has been solved in 9.11. I am closing the thread.
thank you for your reports!
