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.
Newbe: How to extract a part of spanned set
-
A spanned set consists of 1 large AVI file.
I like to extract -say 4-5 .rar-files only, instead of the whole set.
When extracting PA advises that the set is not complete, rightfully so and after
‘Cancel’, it deletes the created file.Is it possible to force PA to extract only a part?
thank you

Is it possible to force PA to extract only a part?
As far as I know it is not possibble to extract one file of an spanned archive. :(
I also don’t know why some one would do that. :confused:Keep looking for interesting software.

It is common when the archive is split of single movie/song and the spanned parts are on a newsgroup or P2P network (slow download speeds / often misnamed files).
So download only the first few parts, extract the beginning and play it.
Then you can decide if you want to spend time downloading the rest.Really only relevant for RAR compressed files.
At present we cannot do it with PA but I don’t know if deleting the partial extraction is a limitation of PA or the UNRAR.dll they (are forced to) use.
I suppose another possibilty of partial extraction could be file(s) spanned over multiple disks where one of the disks is damaged/unreadable.

Thank you for the feedback. I installed WinRAR (sorry…) and gave it a try with that utility.
Obviously also WinRAR requires the missing files, but after closing it leaves the unpacked
files intact, i.e. users can partially see / hear what they are downloading. If that is crap,
they might stop the download, rather than downloading useless giga-files.THe workaround whilst using PA is that one should not click on cancel or okay when
the window pops up asking for the next file. Leave it as it is and play the downloaded
section.
(If one clicks on OK or Cancel, the files are cleared).Maybe this can be put into v.9.2 ???
(if not yet done already). :)
brgds
5 minutes later…:
do not click on OK
do not click on Cancel
in the right top), the files are not erased… -
Thats a good workaround since I dont believe unrar.dll has this “feature”.
thanks,
