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.
Dual listing of folders in one window – but not the other
-
In the navigation pain, two of the folders are listed twice: one starting in upper cases; the other, in lower case.
They are listed only once in the contents window (see the attached image).
I must have checked some wrong box somewhere. Ideas?
attachment_t_6189_0_dual-listings.pdf -
interesting… is this a zip archive (in pae)?
-
Yes. PAE encryption. I think it is a zipx archive.
It does not appear that anything in missing.
It seems to be thrown by the fact that some of the folder names are capitalized and some are not.
So the problem seems more cosmetic than substantial. But I have some fear that something more significant is lurking 'neath the surface.
-
do they show same contents of the folder?
-
as far as I can tell.
Here’s my thought. When I created the folders, I did so in Explorer and drug them into the PA window. I think the first letter was capitalized.
But PA (because of some setting somewhere), forces the folder names WITHIN the archive to be lower case. So the names get duplicated.
That isn’t a good thing, I suspect. But as I said, I do not appear to have lost any data. Just curious . . . and careful.
-
Under misc. / general, I have checked ALLOW all lower case letters. But the net effect of checking this box seems for FORCE all lower case letters.
So that is something that I think should be fixed. FORCING them to be LC is NOT the same thing as ALLOWING them to all be LC.
-
UNchecking that box does NOT make a difference in the look of the archive. So much for my speculations.
-
yeah, that would not be it… when did you first create the archive?
-
Nine months ago. And I have updated it 12-15 times.
-
I copied all the files to a temp directory and recreated the file.
The dual listings of folders has disappeared. Now all the folders are listed once . . . all (in both panes) beginning with a lower case letter.
-
it is possible that one of the alpha/beta versions of last year added saving of folder letter case… this is possible in ZIP format - you can have 10 folders with the same name for instance… it is just confusing and usually we dont do it that way.
