    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

    BigMikeB

    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

    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.

      Hi,

      I have a MacBook Pro running Parallels v7 with a VM Microsoft XP Pro SP3. I installed PA 2011 and as soon as the installation ended and I click “Finish” with the “Run PA” option on I get the only windows error message asking if I want to send the report.

      Does anyone have any idea why PA is not working on the VM? did I miss the prerequisite where it says “do not sun on a VM”?

      Thanks,

        Hello,
        And you were previously able to install PowerArchiver using previous versions? This started with 2011?

        Has anything changed in the VM machine in between?

          from what you sent via support, it looks like you are using PA 2009, not PA 2011?

          maybe some mixup with installations?

            If you installed PA 2011 when PA 2009 was running, then it is possible that PA2009 .exe was left until restart, so now you have PA 2009 exe and rest of the files from PA 2011, which is why it would be crashing.

              Hi again and thank you for the fast reply.

              The very first time I installed the PA was the newest downloaded directly from the website because I wanted to know if it works in the VM to pay for the upgrade. Since that did not work I try the version I have license for (2009) but none of them worked.

              Right now I don’t have any version install in my VM. Any suggestions?

              Thanks,

                there should be no problems with VM, we run PA in different virtual machines all the time, we do a lot of our testing like that.

                can you clean up your installations, restart VM and install latest version from our website, then send us screenshot of the crash so we can see better whats going on.

                  I follow your advice and remove the PA from the VM, then restart it and re install the new downloaded version of PA.

                    We have few people running the VM on OS X, and everyone is using vmware and not parallels… did you ever try vmware?

                    i remember that we tested in parallels few years ago when it came out, but that was probably different version then.

                      No I haven’t try vmware, I have a license for Parallels and I would like to keep it this way. If PA does not work with parallels that will be ok I just needed to know if it was worth it for me to upgrade to a new version. WCS I will be using some open source as I did when PA failed, not a big deal.

                      Thank you for your fast response and help.

                          Your efforts are appreciated I would prefer to have PA (because I like it) than 7zip or winzip. One thing I like about parallels is “Coherence” and that is a feature that I haven’t see in VMWare.

                          Thanks,

                            I found why it crashes: when I use the VM without the “coherence” feature the PA works!!!

                            It only crashes when in “coherence” mode!!!
