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.

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of PA and have observed the following.As per most applications on Windows 8 - you need to right click and open with selecting a program as default, even after that you normally have to go to Default Programs, select default programs, find the name of the program and apply all defaults. Unfortunately PA is not showing up under the programs listed for this to be applied.

thanks pjb, logged in!

Hi,
I have checked with the latest installer.
Here are my findings.W8 still does not recognize an application making it default handler, that seems to be W8 not just a issue with PowerArchiver.
After install, Right Click, Select open with Default, applies the correct icon overlay.
Control Panel, Default Programs now does indeed with this latest version show PowerArchiver listed. :)
(Tested on VM as reverted my main PC back to Windows 7)

default “ask if you want to use association” is how they want it to work….
-
Seems to be the case… Unlike W7 & before the application would do it if you put it to, W8 have included additional steps to make you use an application as default.
At least with this version you have now released it shows in Default Programs so that the users can put it as default, were as, as originally posted PA did not show up, therefore users would not have been able to do so. :-)
W8 just adds to many steps to things that before W8 were so much more simple.
Good work on getting a fix so that users can eventually navigate W8 they way MS seem to want them to, to make PA the default handler.
-
not sure why they added all the extra work… we can workaround it for sure, probably in one of the next releases. I dont think many people will know where to go.
-
Cool. Great to know.
Great that it will help non technical users :-)
I have today found your product is not (was not) alone with the issue of it not showing in the default programs, PDF Exchange is another that does not show up. I guess MS love giving you developers extra work - shame they don’t pay you to fix your products they break! ;-) -
thats because it was required from us to actually register for this separatly from normal associations, so it is actually double work :-)

Could someone tell me how I can change my profile a little. It says I do not have access….I realize this might not be the right place for this question.

no you cant link back to your site in profile, no editing of profiles are allowed, next time you get a ban from forums as you are here to get a link back not discuss PowerArchiver. Thanks.
