    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:

    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 PA 2011 Toolbox (well have just installed the latest beta of 2012).
      I have thousands of photos on my hard disk, in the folder format: Year and the month folders under each year. I wish to backup these to many 8.5GB DVDs and was wondering what is the best way to do it. I would like to be able to filter out some files, *.RWS etc.
      Have tried on the standalon burner but that doesn’t filter. I want to select folders one by one until I reach the 8.5GB and then burn them to DVD.
      I tried doing it with spanning but it didn’t seem to work.
      Has anyone done this or got any ideas on the best way please?

      Many thanks

      Gerry

        Hi Gerry,

        Do you want to compress these first or burn them as is?
        As our backup application offers filters and the ability to burn your backup to CD.

          Hi Mili,
          Yes, I would like to backup using compression and filtering.
          Ideally I would like to burn to 8.5GB DVD straight away as I don’t want to use up disk space and it would be faster, I think, but that way I can’t filter.

          Thanks

          Gerry

            Hi Gerry,
            Here is a way you can go about doing it.
            1st notice is that there is no disc space notice in the Backup burner, so you will have to be sure to enter just a bit less than 8.5 gigs on your dual layer CD, to make sure everything will properly fit.

            First screenshot shows where you will need to check for PA Backup to burn your Backup to CD. I would enter the Disc in the computer right away and make sure it is properly detected in the section shown i first screenshot.

            Second screenshot shows where the Filters are located. Once you navigate to the section shown in screenshot, click the Filters button and you’ll get the dialog shown. In the exclude only field, enter *.RWS and click add for the extension to be added to the exclusion list, as in screenshot.
            Then proceed with the rest of the backup.

            Just to be sure, do a test run first to see if it will excluded everything properly, then you can use backup to back up your files and burn them to disc as described above.

            Hope that helps!
