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.

Some labels in the help toolbar are not translated:

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.
"Hide filename" not available under encrypt 7zip format
-
In the past I used 7ZIP and was able to hide filenames during encryption of an archive. I bought PA (13.02.02 09/2012) believing that was also possible, reading the manual pages and online help. But when I select Encrypt, and then 7ZIP format, I cannot see “hide filename” as an option. It only exists if you choose PAE as an output format.
Bug? Its very helpful to hide the filenames as it clearly makes it harder to decrypt if you have no clue as to possible contents of each sub-file.

BTW - the captcha requirement on every post … a bit excessive, and some of them are pretty hard to read as a human! -
Right click a file or files > “Compress To…” > “Compress With Options…” > Select format: “7-ZIP” > Encryption: “AES 256-bit” > check “Encrypt filenames”.
The “Encrypt Files” dialogue in the main program window should probably be updated to include this option. I assume that is what you are using.

thank you, we will check it out…

Thank you - I can confirm this method works as you describe. And yes, I would certainly appreciate the option being included in the main program, which is what I tend to use.

No problem. In case you want to compress and encrypt files or folders, there is the right-click method (also available from within PA main window), and there is the “New” > “New archive…” method, with a different dialogue, where “Encrypt filenames” is also available.
“Encrypt files” is mainly useful if you want to encrypt files which already are archives. However, it would be useful to have the option to encrypt filenames in this dialogue, too.

Here is a test screenshot of 13.02.02 creating a new 7Z archive through main PA.
As you can see the “Encrypt Filenames” option is available and can be checked when encryption is selected.
I am assuming that you might have selected the Zip format which is why the “Encrypt Filenames” option is not available.
When entering the name of your archive, please select the 7Zip format in that same dialogue just below the file name field and everything should appear as in the screenshot.:)
-
idunk - thanks again - your suggestion works.
Mili - your scenarios are correct, but here are two where “encrypt filenames” is not available, though it should be.
Create a new 7ZIP empty archive, without encryption.
Drag a file into the window, the attached popup appears. Select encrypt - filename option not available.Create a 7ZIP unencrypted file with some content (a single file) or open an existing 7ZIP file.
Select Encrypt from Tools menu. Attached pops up - select 7ZIP, Encrypt AES - filename option again not available. This is the more common situation for me where I want to simply encrypt some archives and not others, that have been previously created.

great finds Morph!
logging them in :) -
Wow, I’ve never even seen the Drag and Drop screen before. I guess we all have our own way of using our tools :)
The dialogue in the second screenshot was the one I assumed you were using.

Added Encrypt Filenames option to the latest update, Drag and Drop window… please update via patchbeam and let us know. Thanks!
