    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

      I downloaded NeverWinter Nights 2 Platinum torent (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8159156/Neverwinter.Nights.2.Platinum.READ.NFO-BLACKCATS) which is all spanned 7zip archives. When I try to open any of the spanned files, I get crc errors. Also PA shows only a few files in the archive.

      It was suggested on the torrent site to use 7zip itself, which I did and that worked fine. It also showed way more files. Here’s some screenshots of the two programs:

            Okay opened the last file, in this case it’s bkz-mkob.zip.015 and is only 31 MB instead of 262 MB. It does the same thing. PA gives crc errors, 7zip works just fine.

              ok… it seems to be spanned ZIP, not 7zip, but spanning has not been done following ZIP standard, probably 7zip doing its own thing but we can add support for it.

                        Sorry for the late response, but it’s till not working. PA Beta still shows only limited amount of files. Here’s a side by side comparison, 7Zip on the left, PA on the right:

                            problems… we are trying to figure out what exactly it is doing… it is not spanned zip, but some kind of split zip.

                              Is it appropriate to try to try to fix a problem associated with a Pirate Bay sourced download? I think not.

                                it is 7zip zip spanned archive, so even if you make any kind of similar archive, it will not work…. problem is that it is not a zip multivolume file, but rather split zip just not simply split :-)

                                  What I don’t get is that PA is using the same 7zip Dll as 7zip itself, so why does it work differently?

                                  @drteeth, regardless of the source of the files, this is an actual problem that can happen to any archive made this way. I’m not looking for help in extracting copyrighted material (which I have a license for btw from GOG AND amazon, torrents just gave me faster download), I’m reporting a problem I found with PA. :)

                                    these are split ZIP files (by 7zip), not 7zip files… so we dont use 7zip for ZIP, we have our own engine. Problem is that for “splitting” ZIP files, 7zip uses their own logic, not ZIP standard and it is weird, needs more investigation.

                                        a lot of things are non-standard, if we only supported “standards”, it would be a lot easier for us but at the same time, half of our support for formats would be gone :-).

                                        so yeah, we will find a way to support it and You should expect us to :-)
