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.
Extract with One-Click
-
Winrar has a button that can be added to the toolbar which extracts all the contents of the archive into the same directory as the archive. I used to use that alot.
Now, in PowerArchiver, I have to click Extract and then find the current folder on the popup menu and then click OK for the same functionality.
Isn’t there a button somewhere with simple one-click extraction into the same folder as the archive like winrar?
-
current folder \ archive name?

If you use this a lot, then set
Configuration / Folders / Default Extract Location - To current folder -
maybe we can do this better in the modern toolbar in the future…
-
Thank you for the config setting.
That got extracting down to 2 clicks…
Click Extract Button
(the current directory is now auto-selected)
Click Extract in the DialogI guess there’s no one-click option?
-
shell> extract here? ;-)

The only problem with the ribbon style in general is that it is difficult to customize the ribbon for all programs which use a ribbon actually.
Luckily, there is the quick access toolbar. Maybe Powerarchiver can just make it possible to add a one-click extract button into the quick access toolbar with the same as winrar functionality.
It would even be nice if multiple “quick-extract” buttons could be added. They could be configurable buttons where the folder for extraction is preset. So there could be one extract button which extracts to the current folder, and another which extracts to a customizable folder etc. And there could be “default options” for each button. The only problem would be that there would be identicle icons for each extract button on the quick access toolbar. I would say the best way to deal with that is to make each “customizable” extract button have a custom color. Then I could make a Red Extract button always extract in a download folder or a Blue Extract button extract to documents and a Green Extract goes to the current folder for example.
I’m sure there’s more than just me that would find that kind of functionality useful.
-
are you often extracting to same folder? or they different folders each time?
-
Well,
a folder for text/docs
a folder for programmes/updates (one sub-folder per program)
a folder for videos
a folder for testing
etc. -
well, i am thinking extract MRU has 10 fields… so as long as 10 folders are used, it would be perfect to use :)
-
Actually, I usually use drag-n-drop and shell :D
