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.
Perfect example of something that drives me nuts

I don’t have my usual zest for writing elegant(ish), long problem reports. So I’ll make it quick and dirty.
I was creating an archive using the shellex. So I started off by looking at the Add window. We on the same page? Cool.
ZIP was selected by default. I hit Browse, navigated to the parent directory I wanted, then created a new directory and opened it. Then of course I entered the desired archive name. All of this was done in the “Find Archive…” dialog.
Then I clicked Open (or I hit Enter, same thing). The “Add to archive” text box reflected the correct path/name for the archive I wanted to create.
Ah, but!
I wanted a 7-ZIP archive, so I clicked the 7-ZIP radio button.
The audacity!
As soon as I clicked 7-ZIP, the path and file name changed. The path became the current directory, and the name reverted to some default name.
This would have been merely annoying if I had noticed the new path and name before creating the archive. But silly me, I didn’t. So I had to figure out where the archive was, and why it wasn’t where I told PA to put it.
Why?
Why would the path be blown away? Why after all this time, am I the only user who discovers things like this?
I don’t get it.
The file extension should change, but nothing else.
-
no you’re not the only one that discovers such things…you’ll find that many members find other obscure issues with the program that some of us don’t encounter on a day to day usage of PA.
yes we do explore unconventional options that we wouldn’t normally use in PA but during the course of using you’ll see lots of different testers posting varied reports.
I can see why this one is frustrating you though…:(

Hi Thanks “Nameless”, this should be addressed for the next Release.
Keep an eye out and don’t hesitate to hold back when reporting bugs. PowerArchiver pride them in getting out Fixes as soon as it is possible.
-
seems like an bug in save as dialogue call…
-
we will fix it once we come to that stage of alpha testing for next release…. Mili needs to write it up into the tracker… thank you.
-
I would not be complaining about the alpha (though this problem does happen with it). This issue happens with the latest release version (11.62).
Edit: Sorry, your wording made me think you were under the impression I found the problem in an alpha build…

i know… as we are working on next release, alphas are the latest of whats going on around here…

Written in the tracker!
Many thanks nameless!!!
Don’t let our bugs frustrate you, befriend them and report them!!:)
