    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

    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?

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    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.

      1. Write a java program to create a zip which does contains 1 or 2 files.
      2. Compile and Run that program
      3. Navigate to the folder where the zip has been created
      4. Double click that newly created zip file. Now it will show the files which are in the zip file.
      5. Double click that file which is inside that newly created zip file.
      6. The file is not opening.

          Hi,

          I do not have link to send that file. If I have your mail id then i can forward that zip file to you.

            If it happens when zipping a single file then could you just attach an example ? (zip less than 100Kb is OK).

              What kind of file (fileextension) are you trying to extract from the zip file? You need to provide more information because “the file is not opening” isn’t saying anything.

                Problem is in path storing… this was also reported to support.

                You should not save path as C:… rather just save folder and not drive letter.

                    I ignored the “”. but still i am not able to open the file. One thing i captured is, extracted path is different if i extract.

                    Previously i did not ignore the “”, on that, the extracted path will be different. For example, if the file is "C:\sample\one.zip, if i extract one.zip (if it contains 2.txt) it will create the folder named ‘2’ and it will put the 2.txt inside that folder ‘2’.

                    After ignore the “”, if i extract it creates folder called ‘one’ inside that we can find the file ‘2.txt’

                    Thanks and regards

                            How is the path stored in your zip file? When I looked in the zip file provided by Mili the path is stored like “C:\Export” but it should be stored like “Export”

                            After you have ignored the backslash “” is the path now “Export” in the zip file?

                              When you are in the editor of writing a new message, there’s a small “paper clip” button to the right of the “Smilies” button. Click on the “paper clip” button to bring up a new Window, where you can upload the zip file.

                                  He meant that if you need to open files from within the archive then your compression utility (java program) should NOT store the drive/root information as part of the path.

                                  So instead of storing as “C:\Export\2.txt” store it as “\Export\2.txt” or just “Export\2.txt”.
