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.
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.
Small GUI issue with PA2010 on limited user accounts
-
Hi,
I’m reporting a small issue with the interface of PowerArchiver 2010. It only happens on limited or standard user accounts in Windows. I attached screenshots of the problem.
When used in an administrator account PowerArchiver 2010 shows a small list of buttons right next to the big yellow orb in the upper left corner. That list of buttons is marked inside a red rectangle in my screenshot.
When used in a standard or limited user account, that list is not visible at all. It’s completely missing as shown in the other screenshot. Maybe this is a bug.
Though I’d let you know. =) Thanks for making PowerArchiver. It’s my favorite archiver and only one I use.

That’s called the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).
Which Windows and what actual version of PowerAchiver (check Help/About).In your limited account, when you right click on a Toolbar Button are you able to add it to the QAT (e.g. Batch Archive)?

You = the man. :D Your post solved my problem!! When I right click on a button in the toolbar, there is an option to add to the Quick Access Toolbar, and if I do that, the QAT appears in the upper left corner of the window. Thanks! I guess the problem was that when you install PowerArchiver it only puts some buttons in the QAT toolbar for the admin account that you used to install PA, but doesn’t put anything into the QAT toolbar for all the other accounts. I guess I was also being a little stupid when I didn’t check things out better. Well it works now, that’s what matters.
The Windows version was XPSP3 and PA version 11.50.61 so not the latest but close. Thanks again!

Ok :D
