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.

Can you confirm that you TAR then GZIP with 7zip or just Gzip.
I would expect your server to only need Gzip and it is the TAR that is causing the problem. -
with 7zip i choose : add to archive, and there i select gzip. so my file is named date.js.gz.
this works fine on the websitewhit PA i choose pack to Zip&options, then TAR, and then Gziptar. the file is then named date.tar.gz.
this ain’t working. -
Yes, that was my point.
I think it is the TAR that is causing the problem.
Unfortunately, PowerArchiver does not let you use ONLY gzip compression (i.e. without the TAR).However, if you have a PowerArchiver license then you also get a license for PowerArchiver Command Line (PACL)
see http://www.powerarchiver.com/pacl/This will allow gzip without TAR.
{ pacomp -a archive.gz example.txt } -
we will try to add standalone gzip and bz2 to PA 2011… Keep in mind that with only gz and bz2 (without tar), only single file can be compressed in archive, so only one file per archive. This is why we support only tar.gz and tar.bz - it is much more useful.
