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.
Default: Explorer View or Classic View

Hello everyone.
What do you think that should be default view in PA 2011?
We want to make it easy for novice users, but remember that most users do not change defaults a lot!
So what is the best default option for View and why?
-
For me Explorer View with folders as the most logical thought is when a user is wanting to search for something to archive or extract having it list by a Hierarchy folder would be ideal.
-
From which point of view?
First starting main window and then open file? Or just double clicking on archive in explorer?
-

well both, so it is consistent?
Both Starting PA with archive or Starting PA with with no archive open.
-
I voted Explorer view. I guess this gives the best performance and is the easiest on the eyes.
-
Explorer View with folders is my choice.
It just seems more logical to me. I can find things in an instant just by looking through the folder view. For ease of use it’s ideal. -
It is interesting that few people change the defaults. I am curious, just how common is this.
For me I have a way that I would do it . . . but I really don’t care; if it wasn’t the way I liked it, one click would change it.
I find this so odd – the first thing I do when I get new software is see how I can customize it.
But if this really is true . . . it is something I will keep in mind when making suggestions.
I can also see how that makes the developer’s job all the more difficult.

80% of PA users use default settings :-).

I would agree with Sir Richard and Luxor.
Exporer with folders is the most useful for navigation and when opening an archive.Same reason I mainly use explorer shell extensions when compressing.

keep in mind this is not just opening the archive, it is when opening PA without archive too.

That wouldnt be a problem, as mentioned if the user opens PA they will visualy have an index of their current folder hierarchy and additional drives without having to press a button.

@Sir:

Yes, as I implied - opening PA (without archive) would then match a Windows Explorer view; users don’t have to “learn” any navigation via buttons etc.

:) Seems we are all pritty much in agreement. So Far…
