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.
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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

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.
Error messages to have specific codes

I know this would mean more coding but i would like to see error messages with codes. for example If you get an error message saying cannot extract it would be nice if pa could have a error copde to that with more info.
Also on the same lines if pa doesnt work prperly at the time you use your computer i would like to see a tool that can take a span shot of your pc registry and programs open, so you can report that info to pa so they can fix conflitcst with there program.

So what you are kind of Suggesting is a Diagnostic Tool for PowerArchiver?
A good idea! and something I back! with PA Toolbox being so packed with FTP, Backup, Burner & Additional tools to come having an advanced Diagnostic Help Tool would be a good idea.
Xobni do something similar! Called InspectorX that runs checks and provides a backup of your registry and plugins including exporting all details into zip file that can be sent to the developers if there are issues…

most people who give error messages and bug reports do niot give the developer enough info at first to diagnose the fault, so best way is to have a tool that gives people who cabn fix pa the best possible chance
