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.
PA 2013 Beta 3: ALL CAPS MENUS
-
PA 2013 Beta 3 has the menus names in ALL CAPS. I know that MS seems to be moving in this direction at least for some apps, but I hate it.
I couldn’t find an option to use lower case in the PA menus - if it’s there could someone tell me what I missed? If it’s not there, can I request that an option be added? (or just get rid of the all caps menus in the first place - does anyone actually prefer them?)

this is only for Win8/Office 2013 skin… rest of them dont have the all caps.
-
of course it would be possible to customize :-)

Hmm - I found that switching to the Office 2010 or 2007 skins didn’t change the menu capitalization. However, switching to the classic skin did. I noticed that that change made PA automatically restart.
So I switched back to the Win8 skin, and found the menus still with lowercase. after I restarted PA, the menus were in the Win8 ALL CAPS style.
For one more experiment, I switched to an Office 2010 skin and the menus stayed in ALL CAPS until I manually restarted PA.
It looks like a PA restart is needed whenever switching to/from the Win8 skin.
-
to change the toolbar text, restart is needed indeed…
-
should we restart when changing to/from win8 skin? if it bothers you that much :-)
-
I don’t mind the restart if it’s needed. But I think PA should do the restart automatically when switching to/from the Win8 skin like when changing to/from the classic skin.
