    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 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

    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)

        what mine does is start the burn process and buffering process and then reports a 100% completed message even though it’s nowhere near finished burning….it has in fact buffered the in formation and is waiting for the burner to write to my cd/dvd disc but whilst this is happening the burner screen reports a ‘not responding’ message and I’m forced to wait until it’s completes the process.
        the task completes successfully but some users may see this as a bug perhaps?

        not sure this has relevance to your post but thought I’d mention it in case developers find it useful.

          Keith,

          Please wait a few seconds for windows/PA burner to read the information on your inserted CD/DVD.

          Moles,

          Is your issue on the regular PA burner or the Image Burner?

                  I’m still having the same issue as in 11.50. The HDD light stays on as it did in 11.50. The optical drive light is off and when I eject the CD the CD ejects but the burner tool won’t unfreeze. The CD only has a few MB of burned data.

                        does that happen with any DVD-RW disc or just that specific one? Can you do full erase on that disc and see what happens then?

                        thanks!

                          It doesn’t happen with DVD media. It only happens when using CD media unless the CD is blank.

                                    I am having this problem as well. I recently installed a Plextor DVD burner and was trying to make an ISO from a CD. The computer would freeze and require a hard reboot.

                                    The computer froze a few seconds right after I selected to “Copy DVD to image” when there was a CD in the drive. If I did this without the CD in the drive the burner window would popup.

                                    I tried different versions of PA but have not been able to resolve the problem.

                                    On the same computer I also have the original CD burner. If I put the same CD in that drive I don;t have any problems with PA.

                                    Is this a general DVD burner problem?

                                      This issue with the burner freezing to me seems to be localized to only external burners. Am I correct?

                                      If that’s the case then it looks like PA CD/DVD burning can only work if you use internal burners. I’ve burned CD/DVD using my internal one and had no issues. It’s the external burners that I experienced the freezing and the need to do hard rebooting.

                                      PA seems to have issues with external burners for some reason.

                                        did you try 11.60.10/12 release? Was your burner internal or external?

                                          To your answer your two questions, I did try 11.60.12, I don’t think I saved a copy of 10, and the burner is internal.

                                          I also tried to burn from the CD burner but it end of creating an invalid ISO that could be opened but seemed to contain no contents despite it’s size of 380MB.

                                            @skanjo:

                                            To your answer your two questions, I did try 11.60.12, I don’t think I saved a copy of 10, and the burner is internal.

                                            I also tried to burn from the CD burner but it end of creating an invalid ISO that could be opened but seemed to contain no contents despite it’s size of 380MB.

                                            email support, we need to send you debug files which will give us burner logs… thanks
