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.
Compress to ISO problem
-
I’m using the latest version 11,60.23
I have the Compress to ISO context menu turned on when ever I select a bunch of files & hit compress to ISO
It brings up the CD Burning Window
I don’t wanna burn it I just wanna compress it It used to work But now it doesn’t maybe a bug?
Also I forgot to mention I’m using Windows 7
-
try selecting one file and then compress to iso - does it work?
i have tried on my win7, seems to be working fine.
-
(btw build iso window looks similar to burning window)
-
Yes one file beings up the Iso Window
But when that window is open if I select a bunch of folders
it ignores the folders & just does whats not in folders -
If I select one folder to bring up the ISO Burning window
then you use the add folder & add file button it seems to workIf I just select a folder & with the context menu click compress to ISO it seems to bring up the burning window atleast for me
-
so create iso window shows properly, but it does not add folders, just files?
thanks!
-
i am not sure what am I doing wrong, but i cant reproduce this - so any help would be very apperciated!
-
Interesting
I tried with other folders & the iso window shows up like normal but the specific folder I was trying to compress to Iso it would bring up the burning window when attempting to compress
Ok What I was trying to compress was My Copy of Windows XP Professional
I drug all the folders & files off the CD onto the desktop was going to compress in & keep it for back up purposes
but Power PA wouldn’t do it
so I started removing folders & files piece by piece to see what was cousing the burn wizard to come up & not the ISO Compression wizard
in that Windows XP Professional folder I was attempting to compress is a folder named I386
Once I removed that folder the iso window poped up like its supposed to
When I try to compress the 1386 folder it would bring up the Burn wizard for some odd reason
Dunno why
But it might make sense to others
-
the option works fine for me in Windows 7 but I haven’t tested it on XP files as ‘PowerAngel’ did.
Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz

If possible, please send a screenshot -
