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.
Add file selection window bug
-
Has anyone noticed a problem with the add file selection window, where the first file listed in the selection window is barely visible? Open a zip file, select “Add”, and look at the files listed in selection window.
I’m running PA 14.05.04 on Windows 7 x64 Professional.
-
Confirmed here, with both the default classic and MyPA skin.
-
Tested in Windows 8.1…this is how I now see it.
Good catch…:D
-
I cannot duplicate this, at least in in Windows 7.
How odd. At the same time, I have a problem no one else seems to have.
-
Confirmed here as well!
Mine looks just like moles42’s screenshot too! -
good catch, there is new build coming today/tomorrow so this is perfect timing.
-
Maybe I am looking at the wrong place. (See attachment). I do not seem to have this problem (running latest build).
If I am not looking in the wrong place, I wonder if my not having this problem is my connecting to having unduplicatable problems with AC?
-
Hey Socrates,
this happens when an archive is open, simply click the add files button and it will show as in screenshot.
-
I cannot come up with any way to duplicate this. Must be some way I never use PA.
Not to worry.
Have a good day.

You’re using the advanced add window and the problem doesn’t appear there.
If you go to configuration>miscellaneous and deselect “Enable advanced add window” Then try it you will most likely see what we are seeing. -
Good. I suspect you are right. That is doubtless why I cannot see it. I have used the advanced add window from the beginning.
Thanks.

Interesting… you guys are more useful than a help manual :)
-
-
Thanks for the quick feedback guys. Nice to know it wasn’t just me :D
-
A deserved cold one for everyone!
-
Please update to latest version via Patchbeam, it should work fine… thank you!

Looks fine here. :cool:
-
It appears fixed for me. Thank you!
-
confirmed !
-
I’m still having the issue even though I have the latest release (at least according to help). When I try to add files to a .cab archive it shows me “My Documents” folder but I can’t navigate to anywhere else on my hard drive. There used to be a button that would allow you to change the folder or go up a level. It’s gone as of yesterday.
-
Spoke over email Michael, thanks for the heads up!
-
thank you, updated install is on download page and will be up on patchbeam within an hour or so….
