    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

    BigMikeB

    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.

    Thanks

    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.

      I corrupted a zip archive by simply using edit on my windows pc to delete a line of a zip header and then i ried to open it with pa and winzip and it failed. So i used the the pa repair zip archive on it and that said that 6 of the files in the archive were ok, and created a new archive . However the resulting archive opened ok but when i tried to extract or look at the files pa and winzip saied that the files were corrupt but the zip repair tool said they were ok.

      Why is this.

      Thought i’d check out this feature in more detail as i was interested in knowing if it did actually work and it seems it does not.

        I’m not sure, as I didn’t write the software, but I can guess. The ‘repair zip’ function probably assumes that corruption wil involve changing bytes, not deleting them. Try again, but add a garbage byte for every good one you delete.

          well what ever i do the program correctly identifies a corrupt zip archive but can not repair it iif you follow my first post about this. The progarm should identify the problem as it does and should not repair it if it can not but in this case it recreates the archive so you can look at it but not extract files from it. It should not say it could create a repair zip if it could not repair it so you can use it.

          when will this be fixed.

            Well, there is nothing really wrong here that I can see.

            What happens is that PowerArchiver checks CRC of every file in the archive and recreates and file with files that have correct CRC so those files can be usable.

            What you did is corrupt complete archive by saving it as ASCII while it is actually an binary file. You also deleted lines from the zip file as well .I dont think there is any possibility to save this kind of archive since it is now completly corrupted due to ASCII saving.

            ZIP repair tool is not an magical tool, it will help in cases your zip file got corrupted due to bad media, and let you save rest of the files from the zip file. It certain cases it will not be able to help at all, but is certainly an good tool to have.

              my point is if it can not help a zip file like the one i made then it should not say it can fix it, if it can’t. Thats the bug i’m reporting.

              False reporting of a fixed zip archive when it is not fixed and can not be.

                When I do exactly what you did, it shows me “corrupted” on single files and “Error fixing archives” error message at the end. Right?

                  yes however it created a reapir achive and in the repair windows beside all the files listed it said ok and created the archive. It should not have created an archive if the resulting archive was corrupt
