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.
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:

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.
Cannot extract archives containing filenames with questionmarks
-
I just downloaded the mightily useful Style Master podGuide, which provide a ZIP file full of ipod note files.
Unfortunately, this zip file has filenames with questionmarks [?] in them. Attempting extraction presents this error:
–-------------------------
PowerArchiverError creating destination file “Extracting: C:\Documents and Settings\Brett\Desktop\Style Master CSS Guide\2. Introduction.DS_Store”. Check that file is not in use.
OK
Which is weird, because that’s not the file it’s having problems with.
I believe the ZIP file must have been made on a Macintosh.
Right-click and renaming the files to remove the questionmarks and attempting extraction works.
or something… -

This is not a PowerArchiver fault - it is a Windows restriction.
Using windows, filenames may not have use any of these characters:-
\ / : * ? " < > |Edit: Rereading your post - you may know this already, sorry.
Whether PA should have an option to replace the invalid characters, I think this would have to be done in the DynaZip libraries not in PA itself. -
This might be a dumb question but can’t you just rename the zip file before extracting?

The problem is with the names of the files/folders INSIDE the zip, not the name of the zip file itself. :p
Edit : DynaZip library is third party, not PA

Hi,
You could rename the files inside of zip file that cause Windows file system issues.
We could create some check if filenames have any “special” characters that are not allowed but I could see some serious performance issues there in case when archive has thousands of files.As long as you are not doing this on daily basis, it would be far easier to simply rename the files in question :-).
thanks,
