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.
Drag & drop inside Zip
-
1. open zip file
2. select one file and drag & drop inside archive
3. The drag & drop dialog comes up
4. The filename has 2 slashes… See imageBut also why does the dialog come up? It just want to update the file form the temp folder it created to see inside archive? could you explain this feature?
-
I’ll log in the issue with the double slash, thanks for that!
The D&D window will come up any time you D&D something inside the archive. PA gives you the ability of adding a file/s to your archive using different options.
For example, you might want to add in a file and encrypt it, while keeping the rest not encrypted.If you wanted to update one of those files inside the archive, why did you go to the temp folder?
You can open a file from within the archive, update, save it and have PA update it inside the archive. -
i think guido is trying to make us make that win7phone version :-)

Is that a commitment I read between the lines :D
Regarding"why did you go to the temp folder?".
I never went to the temp folder. Instead of double clicking I accidentally d&d the file. I’m aware you can D&D files from outside of PA to include. But I find it strange that It tries to include a file from the temp folder PA created to show me the files. I never created the file.
This is a temp-file PA created and for some reason it thinks I want to add this file.
-
you can drag and drop file from PA to PA :-).
It works for things like changing compression method or encrypting the file.

I tried to encrypt one of the files. I asked for the PW, but the file never gets encrypted.
Guess i’m doing something wrong…
But I do likt this idea: “you can drag and drop file from PA to PA”.
-
check now with latest release?
-
4. Now there is no slash.
And it also doesn’t encrypt anything…
-
Thanks guido!
just tested encryption, selected AES encryption for the new file i dragged over, it stayed encrypted for me.
Any other info so i can reproduce? -
What New file?
1. I select a file from the zip file. D&D
2. The D&D dialog comes up
3. Select AES 256, nothing else.
4. Press OK
5. Have to fill in PW twice
6. PA starts to do it’s thingNow I would expect something to be encrypted. But I cannot find anything that is.
What should be encrypted?
-
are you dragging a file from PA to PA?
the D&D dialog that comes up are settings for the dragged file only. so, if you drag over a file to a new window(i.e new file), that dragged file will be encrypted regardless if the rest of the archive is encrypted or not.
-
drag and drop from same archive into same archive in order to change compression or encryption, etc :-)
-
ohhhhh, I stand surprised with PA’s hidden features :)
got it confirmed, it does not encrypt the file when D&D into same archive. Logging it in, thanks guys!
