    Thanks.

    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-23-1164/

    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.

      In the drop down list for “format” or “profile” there is an option for zip, but not zipx.

      I want a different profile for zip than for zipx.

      But I don’t seem to be able to really have one. Within the compression profile, I have zip set to NOT encrypt and zipx to encrypt.

      But I am having the same trouble I had before: I drop a file on a zipx archive where every other file is encrypted, every time I have to choose to encrypt it.

      This MOSTLY didn’t happen before I tried upgrading to rc1 you posted. It always happens now.

      And it doesn’t seem to happen if I set ZIP to always encrypt. But I don’t want ZIP to always encrypt.

      Maybe there is something simple I am missing, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what.

        so if i read correctly, if there is zipx profile, your encrypt d&d last setting is not remembered, but for zip, it is remembered?

          I did a complete uninstall and reinstall, and that solved THIS problem. sorry.

          But FTP (with any form of encryption) no longer works within the PA window OR from the shell.

          Maybe there is so setting I am missing?

          BTW, what prompted me to do the uninstall, was I noticed that the Registry entry is no longer PowerArchiver but PowerArchiverInt.

          But I just unloaded from the non-international version.

            they are all international now, so it is easier to download and install.

            we found an issue in main PA with explicit TLS/SSL, so we will take care of that and lets see if that helps your issue as well.
