    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.

    PA freezes when a .rar file is missing

      It has happened quite a number of times now, reason why I want to report this.

      Say you have a set of .RAR files, like:
      blabla.part06.rar
      blabla.part04.rar
      blabla.part03.rar
      blabla.part01.rar

      You haven’t noticed the missing files.
      Select the first one, rmb extract to \bla bla-folder

      PA start and reports a missing file.

      Then I donot want PA to continue, because I wanna fix that file first.

      So I hit cancel.

      PA stops, but after that nothing happens, PA just freezes, hourglass…
      After a few minutes I need to kill it using the taskmgr.

      PA v.11.61.07 12/2009

      Will there be a fix : cancel means cancel+close down PA and not hang itself??

      Thanks.

              Testing an internal version of the next update and it seems to have been fixed.

              :)

                When will the next update come where this is fixed?
                When I start to extract an incomplete set, PA reports it is incomplete, but cancel will NOT stop PA from extracting.
                It stumbles accross the missing .rar and hangs.

                : which takes a while as PA ‘does not respond’ - in the end it closes indeed though,

                or
                I need to kill it using the taskmgr… which is quicker.

                (and also need to clean up the stuff PA already extracted)

                  can you please check this with 11.63, we can not reproduce it anymore… just making sure.

                  thanks!

                    Sorry for the delay …

                    and eh …

                    sorry but it has not solved yet (at least not with me)

                    Just downloaded a .rar set, extraction went fine.

                    Then I renamed .rar to r__ of one of the files.
                    Then RMB extract
                    PA reports one is missing, click CANCEL (!), and it continues (I donot want it to continue…)
                    in the end it hangs and I am using the taskmgr to kill it.

                    Regretfully I cannot get you a printscreen of the point at which PA hangs (why I try to make a printscreen, SnagIt closes)

                    Suggest to give it a try.
