    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

      Several versions now I’m seeing this problem…

      I have the ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ context menu action enabled under the shell extension settings. In all past versions, selecting multiple archives and then dragging-and-dropping them to a destination folder and extracting them with this option caused all archives to be extracted to their own folder - named after each archive. Since the last few versions, only a single folder gets created (named after the FIRST selected archive) with all of the archives contents being extracted to the single folder…

      Is this “known” and expected to be fixed soon? Having to select and individually extract each archive is a real pain…

        Hi steje,

        The Option you’re looking for is Extract to filename/
        It’s not enabled by default and you have to add it manually, here’s a screenshot showing where it is. Single click it and click Add or Add to Submenu

          Once you do add it, the right click option will look like the highlighted below.
          It shows up when multiple archives are selected and right clicked and it will extract all archives into separate folders;

            Thanks as always Mili… this was a self-inflicted problem. I must have messed around with my shell extension settings for some reason at some point and didn’t realize I had reset them to use the wrong subfolder action. Thanks for correcting me… all good now.

              maybe we could set this as default option for 2015?

                You’re very welcome steje!
                As spwolf points out, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to make this a default option in PA 2015. As it’s probably the most logical way to handle extracting multiple archives into subfolders.

                  So - ironically, since updating to 15.00.38 - this seems to have BECOME a legitimate issue :-)!

                  I’ve got 3 zip files in the same folder:

                  Autoruns.zip
                  SysinternalsSuite.zip
                  Sysmon.zip

                  I select all three and drag them with right mouse button and then release. I pick what seems to be the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ item from the drop menu. But only one folder is created, with the contents of all three zip files mixed into the one folder (named after the first selected zip file). Same behavior as if you’re using the ~wrong shell extension option like I had unknowingly been doing before == the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ item.

                  So, I went into Configuration, and edited the Shell Extensions/Extraction page to remove ALL menu items (except for the sub-menu that you never let us remove ;-) ). I was surprised that after doing this, I still had both the ‘Extract Here’ and ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu items appear on the drop menu…?

                  But I then go back into Configuration and re-add the ‘Extract to filename/ (multiple archives into separate folders)’ item, and when testing again - it still DISPLAYS in the context menu as if it’s the right item (by virtue of showing \filename\ at the end of the Extract To text shown in the context menu text, instead of the actual name of only the first of multiple filenames selected which is indicative of the regular ‘Extract archive to subfolder’ menu item). But again, the behavior is as if the regular item is selected.

                  Weird… did you perhaps in fact make a change in v15 like the one described here about making the ‘multiple archives into separate folders’ the default behavior, but it somehow went terribly wrong - lol?

                    yep, we added by default for both options to work… it seems that drag and drop one has the issue you experienced, while “normal” right click works fine? Please check it out.

                    thanks!

                      Hi wolf… yes, confirmed. The right click context menu Extract to /filename/ works as expected as you said. It’s only the drop menu thats broken…

                          Hi folks, just wondering if there is a fix for this intended for release some time soon? I submitted a ‘Support Form’ last week but it seems maybe the support form might be a bit deprecated? At least, the version drop down only goes as high as PA2013, and I didn’t get a response… so I’m mentioning again here now because several updates have been released so far without a fix.

                                Hi spwolf… I don’t recall seeing anything other than a web page that acknowledged me submitting the report. I didn’t get an email or anything like that (I checked SPAM, etc).

                                I just submitted a new report for another issue I’ve been having - and I see that PA2015 is now an option in the drop down - thanks. But again - I just get a “Your report has been sent, and will be replied to as soon as possible!” page come up - and no email ack that a report has been filed, etc.

                                  weird, still nothing and nothing in the logs of the support software… what support page are you sending it from?

                                  You can just send email to support at conexware dot com… it will automatically accept your report and send you ticket number… lets try that!

                                          Actually - sorry - but something else is broken now ;-).

                                          I went straight to testing extraction of multiple archives, which now works like it used to. Separate folders are created correctly for each archive… However, when extracting just a SINGLE archive - it behaves as if you just used the ‘Extract Here’ drop action. I.e. the contents of the archive are extracted to the current folder - no new folder gets created.

                                          Shall I send an email with the problem report - or is reporting here good enough to get it fixed?

                                                Still not fixed in 15.02.04.

                                                this was reported day after 15.02.04 was released, unfortunately.

                                                  Are you able to give a rough estimate of when a fix will be released?

                                                      You can help us test it here:
                                                      http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150301.exe

                                                      We still did not have time to test it properly, so it would be helpful… thanks!

                                                        in initial testing it seems to be working fine, looking forward to your confirmation :)

                                                          Yes, seems fine to me. :)
