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.
Virtual Drive Unmounting
-
I am using the virtual drive system more and more…what a time saver.
Is there any way to unmount a drive other than by opening PA? I can mount a drive without doing so via a right-click which is very quick indeed.
If there is not, would it be possible to add a context menu to unmount either to the virtual drive or the mounted image file?
Regards

I have mentioned this option in the past and would find it very useful indeed but admin advised me that it is available when you use the PASTARTER option in the systray…but I must agree it would be great to have the option in the context menu.
personally I’m not a pastarter user.
-
If you use Win7, you can also do that from Start Menu and Task Bar.
-
yes, right clicking the PA starter will give you the option to remove the VD.
The whole process shouldn’t take more than 1.5 seconds :)
-
unfortunately if like me you choose not to have PA starter sitting in your systray it takes a little bit longer to get to where you want to be.
I’m a context menu user through & through…it’s very rare I see much more of PA unless I’m specifying certain changes to an archive…or alpha/beta testing of course…:)

That’s me too! That’s exactly how I use PA. Seems a bit strange to have a context item to do something and not have the reverse similarly presented to users.
@ infimum couldn’t get your tips to work at all. If they did, a right-click would still be easier and faster ;).

PA does not display like that here. It used to though IIRC. Do you know what that part on the right is officially called so I can find out how to fix it? At present only two apps do this; Windows Media Player and Windows Live messenger. Using PA 11.61.07.

You beat me to it <g>.
I just fixed it, but I would still prefer context menus.

I do recall being involved in that thread but was never able to get my display to look and operate like ‘guido’s’…gave up in the end.

Do you happen to use disk or registry cleaning software, moles42?
-
only program I do use from time to time is ccleaner.
but even that program I avoided using just to avoid it cleaning my recently used entries.
tried again earlier today but I can only get PA to display recently used archives…I can’t get it to display like guido’s start menu no matter what I try…:(
not to worry though…you never know a context menu option may be in the distant future…:D

moles42,
Hope this does something for you.

If you were to do a search for “virtual drive” or “unmount”, you’ll discover there are a lot of postings.
Indeed once of the enhancements would be to have the unmount feature as a context menu item.
Another one is to add an option to assign a fixed drive-letter, e.g. “X”, rather than having PA assign
the first available free letter.Right now, it takes the first available free letter, which in my case, is also my external backup.
So I need to mind that I need to unmount any VD before switching on the backup drive.I think the context menu thing is on the wishlist since somewhere mid this year.

I fixed mine. Right-click orb, click properties. On Start menu tab, in the lower privacy section, the lower box needs to be selected - that’s all you need to do for the extra taskbar and startmenu functionality - at least that’s all I did.

I’ve followed both steps…the ones posted by ‘infinum’ and your good self ‘drteeth’.
the lower box was actually ticked on my system so i’m hoping that after my reboot all will be well.I’ll report back later…many thanks to all…:)
-
not sure which one actually fixed it but at last I have had success…:)
thanks guys for the feedback it’s much appreciated. -
get a room you two ;-)
