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.
Huge menu on large files
-
When I right click on a file in an archive the menu that appears is huge almost the height of my screen 768 pixels. is this normal? there are massive gaps between menu entries too.
-
I can’t confirm this bug
we need more infos about your pc system and your PA version
-
Hello!
I can confirm huge menu items for long filenames. What about massive gaps? Can you make a screen shot?
-
Hello, please see attached image. It’s only really been like this since I upgraded to the latest version.
PowerArchiver version 9.10.06
Windows XP Service Pack 2
‘View’ options are set to ‘large Icons’ and ‘Explorer Style’.PS: The thread title is a mistake, I guess I had ‘big’ on the brain when I wrote it, the huge menu is there whether the files are large or small!

Hi,
right click menu is enlarged because you have set large icons. For instance, if you check Open With> in that menu you will see that icons there are large as well, same as in file list screen and space between entries corresponds to the size of large icons.
thanks,

But that should just control the icon size in the window? Also there aren’t any icons in the menu, so why adjust the spacing in the menu?

Icons are on Open With menu, which is why that whole menu is adjusted automatically. We could make it so it uses small icons ALWAYS but it does make more sense for it to use large icons if you want to use large icons in general.

How about a separate setting so they can be configured independently of each other.

this is a good idea!

tooo many options already :-). We have to think of way to reduce them somehow, even while adding new features, because for an normal user, option menu is way too overwhelming as it is.
We could set it always to be small icons in right click menu, same as what Windows Explorer does…
