    Missing Icons
    LuxorL

    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

    BigMikeB

    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

    Better ZPAQ support
    W

    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.

    Bug with "Encrypt Archive" action
    W

    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 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

        Hi Keith,

        I would place a bet on an RC5 being released before an actual Final.

        We still are testing allot, and some suggestions have been made to enhance the user’s experience.

        So personally, I would be supprised if a Final was out by the end of the week.

          soon… but not that soon.

          we have to finish up the new website… otherwise final is .51 + 10 another fixes and thats it, not extra features or we will never finish it :-).

          As you know Richard, .01, and .1 are usually not that far away.

          thanks!

            I understand that you have priorities; I also understand that you cannot do everything; finally, I suspect there are things we propose that are too difficult or would benefit too few people.

            So this is NOT to be done immediately. I am thinking a month or so down the road.

            Over the past 4-6 months, there have been some really interesting suggestions. Why not encourage the regulars to go through these, pick out, and then rank, their top 5-8 proposals? See if you might get some agreement about tweaks that most people would find beneficial. Some of these come up in the wish list; others appear when describing this or that problem.

            Just a thought.

                Sorry I was unclear.

                Of course you make changes. But I am inclined to think that some suggestions get made once and, with everything else going on, get dropped. That’s no flaw, just the nature of the beast.

                I thought that after a major release, we might collectively think about which of these changes would be best.

                I couldn’t tell you all the proposals (since they come at different places in the forums). Such a list would help remind me of good suggestions I have forgotten.

                Perhaps, though, others don’t think this meritorious or necessary.

                Sorry you took this as a criticism. It was meant as anything but.

                    Socrate’s we take our Existing & Prospect user thoughts very seriosly and try and adapt it through a screening process whereby the Developers & Alpha testers discuss night and day what would be nice, great and vital to PowerArchiver’s future & its user base.

                    Everyone’s Suggestions are read. But as you can imagine there is allot of requests and even narrowing it down is time consuming and within that time you end up getting more and more requests.

                    I personally think powerarchiver is faster than its competitors when developing new features and improvements. But alas some are left behind… but no forgotten :)

                    Spwolf, I like the new site! Looking forward to the full release!

                      I’m just hoping they can figure out that bug where RC4 triggers UAC when opening, but still opens even after I deny it (3 times) before a final version. I seem to be the only one with this issue though, at least among the posters here. No, I didn’t post it- I used email when I didn’t remember my password. As you can see I finally figured it out. ;)

                        Hopefully they will! but even if they can’t make it before final with Patchbeam it could be “patched” under 3 seconds when they find the fix :D.

                        But I understand how frustrating it is when you want things to work before final…
                        I’ve been nagging the developers for FTP, Ribbon changes, Configuration enhancements.

                        Guido Nags whenever he spots any detail that doesn’t act or look as it should hense why PA is so pretty ;)

                        Moles42 & luxor have been pushing for other areas such as Backup & Burner and issues with Virtual driver support etc

                        One happy family…

                        Keep posting the forums Qun Mang we do read them! Honeslty!

                          it is always problem when we cant reproduce it, i know support has been trying to replicate the issue.

                            Thanks, I know you’re looking. Just let me know if you need anything else from me. Just be warned, I will be away for most of the week starting tomorrow morning so if I don’t reply that will be why.

                                a question I too pondered on Keith but I’m speculating that the release of a ‘Final’ for ‘PA’ might be of a higher priority at this current time…I’m sure Admin will let us know either way…:)

                                    we found the issue, not the fix yet… it happens onlx on 64bit, and what happens is that admin account gets the associations.

                                      Will the final be available this week? Are there last minute bugs that still need to be fixed?

                                              I think this version of PowerArchiver has taken longer than anticipated because of all its features.

                                              Most if not all of the Alpha team have been helping for months picking out the bugs and suggesting new features or backing requested features… and the poor developers have had at times to grin and bare it.

                                              However, I rather a working, stable and reliable piece of software reach our user base by release than let existing and prospects down due to rushing it.

                                              I suppose there would be no harm if we left 2011 and released it in December as 2012… there is now law to suggest developers have to bring out new versions each year. :)

                                              I’ve been working on a new menu system and database at work for the past 2 years and many of the features i bring out are tested by a small team i select but it is down to me as the developer to decide if all the work should be produced at a specific time.

                                                we finished work for final release this week, so unless we have something major, we have final… just need to finish up the new website.

                                                since there was long delay between 2010 and 2011 (major versions, we issued many updates with new features), we will probably do 2012 much sooner - like in very early 2012, with new format :-)

                                                  You know what… I am more excited for the release of the website than the program… i think because its just a change from the old style!

                                                  obviosly powerarchiver app is important to me but ive been working with it since early days :)

                                                      well you know how it site looks like already and where it is :-)

                                                      i am looking at it for past weeks and now it is old for me :-)

                                                      Ahh not the same boss :) its a test site it doesnt come close to a fully working site. I am looking forward to the community & business section.

                                                      I also need to send you an email ref some support vids. Been busy these past few weeks ready for my trip to south africa in september.

                                                                          However, like every country there are good and bad area’s. I know from our plan that we will see both but thats part of the experience.

                                                                              Back when I did Tae Kwon Do & other martial arts we were checked on multiple attackers. My maximum score was 16.

                                                                              Obvisoly, if they all jumped on me at once i dont really have chance, but statistically there is always 1 or 2 ring leaders who go in 1st… take them down with a quick impact to their knee, upper strick to their nose etc etc then the others usually back off.

                                                                              also that was 7 years ago before when i was younger and active!… i’ll probably only manage 1 LOL.

                                                                              But regardless the skills i learnt still are with me.

                                                                              The one thing I dont like about UK law is you must tell your attackers you are capable of defending yourself, else they can sue you… screwed up laws where attackers can sue someone for defending themselfs!

                                                                              Plus it takes out the element of supprise! which is key in any defense or attack.
