    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

    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 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.

      Hello everybody.

      Since latest version (11.63.14) I cannot extract to my NAS anymore. PA says, that it cannot write the files because they might be in use. I assume that the PA’s command “extract to…” runs as administrator on Win 7. This special admin accounts does of course not have rights to write to my NAS. Any way to get it working again?

      Kind regards
      Thomas

        try running PA as admin and see what happens then.
        If it works, then set it up so PA always runs as admin.

        PA always runs as user, so extract to runs as user. Check drive/folder permissions on NAS to make sure it is set as it should be!

          Since last post I found out, that it is not the admin account as assumed. PA seems to have trouble with special German characters which are used in the UNC path on the NAS. The umlauts (ö,ä,ü) make problems. On other paths with not special letters there seems to be no problem so far.

            What version of Windows do you have and what PA did you use before? It should all be Unicode compliant…

            You can set language for non unicode programs to German in Regional and Language settings in Control Panel, but this should work regardless of that.

              I am using Win7 x64 Ultimate original german version. I just updated to the latest PA ver. 11.64.01. But the error is still the same.

                can you tell us exactly where you are extracting to (full path), and then turn on that unicode option i wrote about earlier, it should “fix” the issue… thanks

                  The settings for non unicode programs are already set to German (and have ever been). The full path looks like “\server\Öffentlich\Work\Ablage\archive.zip” - then right click on that archive and select “Extract to \ser…\Öff…\Wor…\Abl…\Archive” opens PA, it tries to extract first file from archive and immediately stops with that error “file already in use…” etc.

                  First error window:

                  Second error window:

                  UPDATE:

                  Just installed the last working version that didn’t had the problems, it is 11.62.03. Tried it on exactly the same archive as mentioned above - no problems! Extracts perfectly.
