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?
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.

Hi!
From what I have read in the documentation of PA, it’s about 11 years since version 1.0 was released. A lot of development has been done since then and of course a lot of improvements in both functionality and user interface.I was just wondering if screen shots of previous versions of PA is available somewhere? I don’t want screen shots of every version, only when some significant change in the GUI to see how the user interface have changed from the early versions of PA until latest version.
I would also suggest a History button at the homepage with selected screen shots of earlier versions of PA that could be of interest.
Kind Regards

Good Question, I would also be interested to see a historic to modern view of PowerArchiver…
It might also be a good form of Marketing if it was put into a Video or Flash.

it might make interesting series of blog articles ;-)
Another things that also could be of interest is a background story of how all thing started. Who came up with the idea to create a new application for compressing documents, images etc.? The name PowerArchiver, where came that from or was there other suggestions of the name of the application? How many people where involved in the beginning?
It feels like there could be a lot of interesting background information here.
Kind Regards

I agree Micke! Maybe PowerArchivers website could have an “abous us” page with all that information and history contained.
Worth a read i would say…
