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.
File listing problem with bigger files
-
Hi,
Seems that there’s problems listing “detailed” information from bigger Zip files. In this case i have 47Gb zip file.
Zip’s structure is: Main folder -> 2 sub-folders and so on.
And when its trying to get detailed information from this main folder it fails. Window stays blank. Doesn’t even show the main folder. If i switch to list view, thumbnails or something else it works just fine.
And also is there a way to change language to English in international version?
PA version is: 13.00.24

Welcome Jeremiad
I’ll let support answer your first question. ;)
As for your question regarding changing languages, if you are using the modern interface you should have the option “Change language” in the Options toolbar as shown in my screenshot. If you are using the classic interface it is under Options > Change Language.

Hehe, I must be blind for not spotting that. Thank you!

how many files inside?
-
Odd, now it seems to be working when language is English. This problems was when PA was in Finnish.
Theres 24 files and 12 dirs.
So problem is that its missing translations?
-
try again in finnish and what happens? If it still doesnt work, save your settings via Config button> Export settings and send them to support at conexware dot com.
I have tried Finnish and all seemed fine but i probably dont use same options as you.
thanks!
-
well, i see now that something similar was fixed in upcoming release - “file contents not seen when changing languages, only with some languages”… does that sound familiar?
-
is there a limit on the size of zip file as every archiver has a limit.

there is no practical limit, it is in petabytes or something like that… i think problem was with translation, nothing else.

Hi,
