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.
Start up time before unzipping is slow!
-
Is there anyway you guys could speed up the time for when opening archives?
I am not talking about the unzipping part but the time it takes to start the unzipping after I click Extract Here button.
I just wish it was faster. I see the slow speed the most on bigger files.
-
Which version are you using? How large is the file you are opening?
How are you opening the file?Thanks!
-
is it slower on big files, faster on small files?

I am running the latest build 11.61.07
As far as the files all sizes but it seems the slowest on really big ones like files over 1GB.

curious to know what your hardware is also.

basically it is part of extraction process (it scans through the archive), it is just that progress does not start before it, so it looks like PA is doing nothing, rest assured that is.
I am talking about the difference between extracting 1 file in archive and 100,000 files in archive. Before that is PA startup time which we are always working on optimizing a bit.
-
it also very much depends on the format…
-
WinRAR for exampe is much faster starting the unpacking of really big files.
Is kind of hard to explain.
What I mean is when i upack a big file with WinRAR the WinRAR interface displays almost instant and starts unpacking. Where as PowerArchive’s interface is slower at opening and kind looks like its frozen for a second and then starts to unpack.
You understand what i mean?
I guess you could say WinRAR seem smoother :)

Yes, i understand exactly… When it comes to actual speed (not perception), it depends on what format you use. Starting to extract 100,000 files in rar archive is a lot slower than in zip, because unrar.dll is slower to list those files.
But what you are reffering is perception probably, as PA progress shows only after pa engine goes through the archive, so it looks like it is stalling for 0.5-1s, but it is actually working.
-
similar system to mine…I just tested an archive (zip) with just over 15,000 files and it started to extract after about 2 seconds.
I assume yours is taking much longer?Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz

and also PA is 0.1-0.4s slower to start by itself, we constantly work on shaving 100ms’s from that time ;-).

I assume yours is taking much longer?i think he is reffering to first 1 second of the process… Its basically cosmetical as it gives perception that PA is not doing anything for a second or so (depending on archive and other things).
-
yes it does give that appearance as though doing nothing but I always knew it was working ‘behind the scenes’ before dealing with the task at hand…:)

Exactly :)
I wish there was a way you could some how make it so the PowerArchiver UI starts up almost instantly and then starts the unpacking.
Maybe you could do something like this for example.
Have the PowerArchiver UI open right away and then on the UI have a count down like “starting in 3,2,1”
I think that would look a lot nicer then the way it is now which looks like the ui is freezing.
Its just an idea :)
Anyway thanks for your help and info guys :)

it is something that annoys me personally as well, so we are always working on improving it ;-). Just be assured that PA is actually working during that time.
