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.
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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

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.
.jar association
-
I am requesting the same thing (see below) for .jar.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4238If PA is uninstalled (or association is cancelled), double-clicking a jar file no longer launches the java program, since the relevant registry entries are not restored.
For those who need the jar association back, here’s the registry entries you need.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jar] @="jarfile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile] @="Executable Jar File" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe,0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe\" -jar \"%1\" %*" -
what if you do not have java installed or if it is installed in different folder?
-
Good question.
Like denzilla said in the above topic, is it possible to take note of the current registry entries and restore them?
If java is missing, no harm is done.

current as in when powerarchiver was installed?
PA does not associate with jar for that reason (so it would not break java association)… -

Yikes, don’t do that (for any filetypes) - I’ve had PA installed for years now (and still counting) :D

There is the “Select All” button in Configuration > Files Formats. It was too temping, so I pressed :(
Maybe just displaying a warning is enough?
