    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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.

      I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers which are in a self extracting executable. Right clicking on the file and going to “Extract To…” context menu brings up the “Extract” dialog box as usual.
      In here I click the “Extract to filename\ subfolder” check box then pick my directory to install to and click “Extract”.
      The folder is never created with the name of the file, instead all the files are directly extracted to the selected directory.

      Example:

      I told PA to extract to “C:\Nvidia Drivers” which should have created a sub folder called “285.62-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe” and extracted the files\folders there, but it just extracted them to “C:\Nvidia Drivers”.

        you told it to extract to that directory if you wanted it to extract the files into its subdirectories you should of selected that.

        Powerarchiver only extracts where you tell it.

          AluminumHaste,
          If you do the same thing but from Main PA, open archive in main PA>click extract Button>Check same option, does it work then?
          Seems to work fine in main PA for me, but not through shell.

                  Okay opening the exe with PA then telling it to extract works correctly.
                  It only fails to extract to sub directories when you use the right click context menu to select “Extract To…”

                  If you want to try this your self I’ve used 2 different exe’s on two different computers. The last one I just tried was this one:

                  http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/285.62/285.62-desktop-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe
