    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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-23-1165/
    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

    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.

        I used to use the ‘MyPA’ skin back in the 9.6 days Richard that was before I jumped aboard the ‘Ribbon’ skins that are currently in use these days…took me a while to become accustomed to them but once I did there was no turning back…:)

          I used to before the ribbon interface.
          But I’m so used to that now that I don’t think I could go back to the classic skins.

              I only use PA GUI about 20% of time (but switch to Classic for about 20% of that use).

              I just feel that classic is more …. straightforward
              when wanting to use sporadic things (test archive button as example).

                you could post some wishes about shell extensions ;-)

                  “Ribbon” UI is the best. I select it on first run and never change. I think it must be a separate option in your poll since it is something different then just Directskin’s skins.

                    Nice feedback, keep it comming and completing the poll…

                    So far we have more users preferring the Ribbon UI than the classic but a small margin who flick to the classic to keep a simple touch.

                    Question; Do people still see a point in having the downloadable skins page? or are they happy with what PA provides being Classic and My PA.

                      as i said before, only tiny fraction of users checks out forums… there would be no sense to not have skins or skins section. there is nothing to gain there.

                      And 80% of actual users use classic ;-).

                        is that actual data from the application logs being sent to the PA server? Interesting.

                        Must just be us few Loyalists that like the modern style?

                          I don’t use any extra skins, just the Modern ribbon type UI. I like that one. :)

                            when you update, yes… very useful to determine where we should focus our future work ;-).
