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.
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.rarYou haven’t noticed the missing files.
Select the first one, rmb extract to \bla bla-folderPA 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.
-
this has been reported before, definetly will be looking into it for one of the future minor releases…

Thanks a lot!

Have to confess, haven’t tried this out yet, because sofar there was no reason for it, but has his been fixed?
-
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.

-
