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.
Send to FTP
-
Since upgrading to version 13.01.04, right clicking on a file, Selecting “Compress to…”, “Compress with Options…”, does not automatically launch FTP Quick Connect when I select Send FTP. It does work correctly if I start PA, create a New file, and select Send to FTP Server from the Options tab. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
Update: I installed the 13.02.02 update and it behaved the same.

how about right clicking on file and clicking on Ftp it…?

That does work as well. Just not when I try to do it from the Compress with options.

logged in, thanks mmouse!

I may just be doing something differently. But it seems there is a new minor glitch.
When I choose PA for the right-click context menu in explorer; then choose compress and FTP, and finally select my default profile, it FTP’s the file, but does not compress it first.
I think this worked just fine in one of the early versions of 13.

It is reserved for the sole operating of FTPing the compressed archive and not save it to the HD as well.
To make sure, I’ve checked previous versions of 2011 and 2012 and that’s how it has always operated.

I am obviously misremembering.
But I was thinking that I could click on a regular file, then PA would compress and FTP it. But now it just FTP’s the file.

If you right clicked on a regular file you would have to select “Compress with options…” and select the FTP option. That is the way I have always remebered it being.

yes you should be able to… as long as you select Compress and FTP, not FTP It.
seems to work fine here, i selected 3 files, right clicked, PA> Compress and FTP, it compressed them to zip called desktop.zip and then asked me for ftp profile?
What happens there?

Apologies.

I dont understand :-).
Were you using Ftp It or? Because compress and ftp should … compress… You wrote it doesnt? Just trying to clarify :-)

Actually, there is an issue.
Go to the Configuration menu, Shell Extensions.
There are two options: Compression and Extraction.
I assumed that the compression options would determine which context menu options should show if the user clicked on a non-archive; and the extraction option would determine which options should show if I clicked on an archive.
If I am wrong here, please say so . . . but I would have thought that was the natural way to interpret these options.
When I am on a single file (not an archive), and right click, the option to “FTP It” shows up. But that doesn’t even seem to be an option I can select (add to the shell extensions) for Compression in the config menu.
However, since it is there when I click on a non-archive, I assumed it was shorthand for compress and FTP it — since it shows up when I right click on a non-archive.
