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.
FTP - suggestion and question
-
Silly question and a suggestion.
I have never used your FTP before.
I am not having much luck now. And, unless I am misreading the help file, it doesn’t give me the guidance I need,.
I keep running a PBS with an FTP setting, and it keeps copying the file into the root FTP directory.
I tried – I thought – every possible combination of language for the destination directory and the default directory.
Suppose the base directory is called “root”?
What’s the proper syntax for the subdirectory?
And do I enter the same info for both destination and default folder?
I am sure there is a permutation I missed. But after 45 minutes . . .
The suggestion.
The password in the FTP window is visible. I would prefer it were it invisible.
-
base folder is folder that you enter when you first login to the ftp… what did you try entering there?
I think we need “browse” button which logins to the ftp and offers you easy to use folder selection :-).
-
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work either. Maybe there is something odd about my server.
Let me explore that.

-
tell us what is your root folder and what is your desired folder, i will write you what destination folder entry should be…
root folder is the one you start with when you login to the ftp.
-
Turns out I had to leave the default folder blank.
Odd.
But that’s what it took to get to this server.
Thanks.
I like your idea for a browse button.
I also would urge that the password be made invisible on the FTP page.
And while I have you. (1) I gather the correct PB version number will show up tomorrow. Correct? (2) Neither PAOP nor the Star Drivers (Virtual Disk) show up in my list within PB. Have I done something incorrectly?
-
- Correct PB version number?
- Virtual Drive needs to be downloaded - go to the Burner, click on Virtual Drive and it will download and install. Once they are installed, you will have it on your Patchbeam list.
- PAOP is not updated via Patchbeam yet. We will add it once new major PAOP version comes out towards end of the year.
-
PAOP – 2.03, which is latest I could find.
Sorry. I thought PAOP showed up in 2010 with PB. And I thought you all had talked about PB being updated when PA 2011 appeared.
Thanks.
-
PAOP – 2.03, which is latest I could find.
Yes, that’s it.
@Socrates:Sorry. I thought PAOP showed up in 2010 with PB.
No, it didn’t.
@Socrates:And I thought you all had talked about PB being updated when PA 2011 appeared.
Thanks.
Yes, but PA2011 has now appeared - the RC has the latest Patchbeam currently available.
-
I would totally also like to request that the FTP password not be in plain text on the FTP tab. It’s stared on the profile page but in plain view when connecting or on the tab. Has this been changed in a newer version coming?
-
it will be done before Final for sure… we have to wait for this a bit.
-
Awesome, thanks!
