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.
PowerArchiver 2011 Disc to Disc Copy
-
I’m having an issue with the Disc to Disc Copy in the PowerArchiver 2011 burner. When I use the Disc to Disc Copy in PowerArchiver 2011 burner it grabs the source disc and then asks for the destination disc and says image burn complete without writing anything to the disc. The write to destination disc is not working at all and only says Image Burning Complete with nothing being written.
-
is your destination disc writable?
-
Yes, it’s a DVD+RW.
-
ok, Mili will test with RW… I think he tested Disc to Disc only few days ago and it was fine on his computer, so it might be something specific.
-
After inserting the destination disc when prompted and clicking OK, the only immediate message in the log window is image burning finished. I even tried the full disc erase option but nothing worked. I have both the DVD-ROM drive and the DVD+RW drive. The source drive is DVD-ROM and the destination drive is DVD+RW. I tried both a two-drive copy and a single-drive copy and it’s the same issue.
-
Have you found the problem with the disc to disc copy feature yet?
-
Keith, as stated in our live chat, it has been logged in and developers are aware.
Many thanks again for letting us know!
-
When is RC2 due? That should fix the Disc Copy.
-
we are working on it non stop :-)
-
please check with 12.00.38 RC2, get it via patchbeam….
thanks!
-
I’m getting an error when I try use disc copy from different drives. I have the source disc in the dvd-rom drive and the destination disc in the dvd-rw drive and when I try to copy from dvd-rom to dvd-rw it reads the entire source disc and prompts me for the destination disc and then when I click OK I get an error writing to the disc and then the source disc ejects from the DVD-ROM drive. The error occurs because disc copy was attempting to write to the DVD-ROM drive. Copying using the same DVD-RW drive for both source and destination works OK.

Please check with this interim release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha120/powarc120039.exe -
It did solve my problem with Disk to ISO.
Thanks.
-
Perhaps this should go in the wish list. But since it builds on this thread . . .
Small tweak.
I would like to be able to set a default folder for my ISO files I grab from disk.
It defaults to my documents folder.
-
would it be good to use last location?
-
basically same as PA folders setting for archives, use same setting as that?
-
A glitch . . . or I misunderstand the commands.
I wanted to create an ISO file from a different disk.
I opened Explorer, located the DVD drive, highlighted it, right clicked, choose the PA 2011 submenu, and then clicked “Compress to ISO.”
According to the task bar, It opened a window. But I could never open said window.
So I had to burn the ISO via the regular PA interface.
Then I had to force close the first window via the task manager.
-
I would prefer to set a specific folder. But it’s a small thing.
I have created a special ISO Files folder. It would be nice to default to it.

compress to iso is same as compress to zip, except that creates ISO files… it is not Disc to ISO tool.
So when you start it, i guess it might end up being slow since it has to read DISC first which is… slow.

I won’t do that again.
But would it be possible to have burn iso image an option in the Shell?
I thought that’s why I was adding. I now see that I had best change my shell extensions.
-
This may mean nothing.
But after the problem I mentioned earlier, PA took 25 seconds to open.
It is probably a quirk or a spin-off in my trying to burn the ISO.
I suppose, though, that it could be a feature of the interim update.

burn iso is there - right click on ISO image, and option will show up.

did it happen next time you opened PA?
-
Thanks for the clarification
PA opened slowly even after I closed and reopened it. I check TM to make sure that no other elements of PA were running when I reopened it.
BTW, I may not be able to respond again for a couple of days.
-
does the DVD spin up then? maybe it was left as “last used folder”.
