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.
PA 2012 Beta 1 Bugs: Color Selectors and Viewer Open Dialogs
-
Hello,
Went to configure PA 2012 Beta 1 and ran into a pair of bugs.
In Configuration -> Locations, clicking the folder icon for either the Viewer or Virus Scanner brings up an open file dialog asking to locate rar.exe. Browsing to a folder and selecting a different file (by typing the program name in the open box), and clicking OK will fill in the RAR Archiver path edit box.
In Configuration -> View, it’s possible to simultaneously open more than one color dialog by clicking multiple colors at the bottom of the dialog without first closing the color selector dialog. The problem is, only one can be closed afterward. The other may become hidden behind the Configuration dialog. However, even if it’s exposed, it can’t be closed by either OK or Cancel. Nor can any other dialog be closed. I had to terminate the PowerArc.exe process at this point.
I have recordings of both bugs from the Windows 7 Problem Steps Recorder. However, some personal information is visible so I don’t want to post them publicly. If you’d like the files, I can submit them for viewing.

This can’t be changed, so unable to set a Viewer (except default of notepad.
However, Virus Scanner seems to be OK. Perhaps because it opens on WinRAR folder (but files of type is “programs”).

Confirmed as well :cool:

No need. Description is good enough (for these anyway).
-
Yeah, Virus Scanner is OK for me as well.
Weird. I could have sworn that I’d tested it, but my recording doesn’t show it and it’s testing fine for me now.
There is another oddity though: Use the folder icon by the Virus Scanner to get to an open file dialog. Navigate and pick a program (doesn’t matter what). Virus Scanner fills in correctly. No big deal.
Now click on the dialog icons for either Viewer or RAR Archiver. The path to the virus scanner is filled into the dialog box’s file name.

thanks ardax!

please check with 13.00.16 (Patchbeam it!)… these should be fixed?

Everything in this thread is fixed for me in 13.00.17. Thanks!
