    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.

    Stupid question time?

      Hi,

      Occasionally, I get the dialogue box saying that associations have been changed and asking if I wish to change them back. I always answer ‘yes’.

      If I check the ‘do not show this message again’, does it mean that the associations are automatically corrected if I last answered ‘yes’ or is nothing done as if I answered ‘no’? It is not clear what exactly will happen. I am not sure how to get the dialogue back and do not want to set the global defaults.

      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all; and may your God go with you.

        if you say no, nothing happens… if you say yes, then PA changes associations to those defined in config> associations.

          But what happens if you click ‘yes’ AND ‘do not show this dialogue again’ (that’s what I originally asked)? Especially if the associations are changed and the prompt would normally appear.

            well nothing would appear in the future, it simply would not inform you of any associations that you selected in PA but that were changed to something else… you can uncheck this option if you go to config> associations…

              Okay, now I understand. Could it be possible to make it so not only does the message not show, but that the associations DO get corrected automatically?

              When this message appears, and it is relatively often, I have not done anything to change the associations and want to keep PA as my one and only archive app. It’s a minor PITA, but a PITA nevertheless.

              With kind regards

                PA will not automatically re-associate… it has to ask you for re-association if something takes over associations.

                  Okay. I’m clear now.

                  The reason for my confusion is that if I answer ‘yes’ and ‘do not show again’ the inference is that PA WILL automatically re-associate; ie that ‘yes’ will be the default response.

                  Regards
