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.
Opening file splitted

Hi
Powerarchiver not properly open the files splitted with 7-zip.
7-zip creates files with this extension. Zip.001,. Zip.002,. Zip.003, etc… and if I want to open them properly in Powerarchiver I have to rename files. The last, must be renamed to ZIP and the others from. zip.001 in. Z01, ZIP.002 in .Z02 eccNobody has ever noticed?
One more thing. This time in PowerArchiver. But why when I set a Volume Size on the multiple disk spanning, PowerArchiver creates the first file (the one with the extension Zip) smaller (as if it was the last one) and all other (. Z01,. Z02. Z03 etc…) of the Size choice?
Attached setting for split volumes(7-zip 9.20) and attached an image of comparison between the split files with PowerArchiver and 7-zip

According to ZIP specs, last file is first one and it has all the header info (hence it has to be first one).
I know everyone butchers the ZIP standards, but they are open, free to implement and check to everyone, so there is no need for such butchery.

Ok, thanks… I will continue to rename the files …

Ok, thanks… I will continue to rename the files …
i will check if we can do something, but it would be the best if you report it to igor, as then he can simply name them properly. It is 10 minute fix.

btw, last file being first is due to full header and saving it on removable media, like DVD’s… that way you can load up “zip” file and instantly get all the info you need.
If you loaded up 001 from DVD, you would get only local header so only files in that zip, but when you load last one, you get all the files in all the volumes… what 7z probably does is looks for last file and opens it instead - which wouldnt work on DVD media.

thanks for the explanation

No, I have not written yet … because I have a bad English, I must first ask for help to write…
