    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.

    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

    BigMikeB

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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

    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.

      I know this is minor but I wanted to mention it anyway.

      When I extract files from an archive using PA, and I get an overwrite confirmation as shown in the attached screen shot, the source file doesn’t have an icon shown. I’m not sure why this would be, given that the source file at that point has already been extracted to a temporary folder.

        Hm, this is not PowerArchiver overwrite dialog - someone else utility. No PA Overwrite dialog has file icons on it.

          That’s the dialog that appears when I drag a file from a PA window into a folder where a same-named file resides. The icon comes (or should come) from the file itself. Maybe this is “a Windows thing”, I don’t know, but it does happen when dragging from a PA window.

            if you are drag and dropping, it is standard Windows copy dialogue thats controlled by Windows.

            Try overwriting via Extract and you will see the difference.

              So why is it that when open a given archive in WinRAR, and drag from it, I do get an icon shown for the source file… But if I open the same archive in PA and drag, I don’t?

                good question, maybe it has something to do from where file is being copied… Ivan will check it out.
