    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-23-1165/
    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

    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 invariably get an error (CRC) when trying to unzip the file from http://launcher.nirsoft.net/download.html. The latest one (filename ending in ‘02’) had the error.

      I always have to repair them before I can extract the contents without any errors. The author has been quite on the issue and you guys can shed any light on this. The is the ONLY file that gives an error when unzipping.

      It would be nice to tell the developer that it is NOT PA’s fault but his.

        Chrome doesnt even let me download the file, tells me it is malicious… I will try in another browser, but it seems they have bigger fish to fry :-)

          IE is blocking the file too… what did you download it with? I am assuming it is safe of course?

            The file is 110% safe. I use firefox without any problems. If you have further problems, I am more than happy to d/l it for you and u/l it to my web space and mediafire.

            OT:- FWIW, Google has bought Virus Total.

            Cheers

              in all seriousness, you could report to them that both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer refuse to download their software and flagging it as malicious download… You would think they would want to know that and fix it asap :-).

              I will try with Firefox next.

                i just tried it in shell and worked fine? Maybe your ISP cached bad download?

                  I get the problem with most of the versions…it is updated frequently. PA always manages to fix it without any probs so it is not a big issue.

                  The software does cause issues with security software, but it is a collection of brilliant utilities and does warrant a look.

                  Thanks

                    does this 02 version work for you or?

                    if it does, it might be the issue between your ISP and theirs. And PA repair tool being able to correct the error that happens during download…

                    If 02 version does work for you as well, next time it does not, upload it to something and send us a link…

                      Hi,

                      The 02 version does not work for me. I get a CRC error as soon as I start extracting the contents.

                      Thanks
