    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:

    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?

    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.

      I have noticed I cannot delete large archives, please see the attached.

      The file is not open in explorer in any operator-instigated way. All affected files are approx 4.5Gb on an NTFS partition. Smaller files can be deleted without issue. Is this related to (I assume) PA showing the archive contents in the delete dialogue box?

      Cheers

        Any thoughts on this or any ideas on how I can test if PA is involved?

        Currently I have to use an unlocking/deleting facility.

            Yes. I can delete smaller ISO files even from the same location., but this one is approx 4.5GB. It is an OpenSuSE distro ISO.

            The attached is what I see then I try to delete the ISO and a screenshot of an Unlocker screen to show why. PC only turned on 30 mins ago. 100% reproducible.

            As usual, happy to run any tests etc to help out.

                great!

                Does that mean I have found something useful? If that is the case, why are only large ISOs affected?

                  Obviously it’s an issue so very helpful… I would guess that iso files over 4gb cause some internal issue in listing code hence the lock… We will know more once Feb team fixes it, but reproducible report is 80% of the work already

                        Created two 4.8+gig ISO files, mounted/unmounted them, extracted them and they deleted fine afterwards.
                        I’m downloading openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso and trying with that.

                        Let me know if you did anything specific after which this ISO file became undeletable.

                        Thanks!

                          I am doing nothing to these files. I cannot delete any OpenSuSE distros, I have both 13.2 distos and latest snapshots of Tumbleweed…that’s 4 in total; even after just turning on my computer. Done nothing to them at all. All I have to do is download and try to delete. I don’t know whether it is a size issue, but I could delete a Knoppix distro at 4.1 GB.

                          The on thing I have noticed, is that before the first delete attempt, which always fails, there are no locking processes. These show up (as per the above screenshot) only after the first failed attempt.

                          Cheers

                            Basically, you downloaded this file and then when attempting to delete it it gives you the said error?
                            I’ve downloaded the same, file and it deleted just fine.
                            Please run me through the process starting with obtaining the file and deleting it at the end. What exactly goes on in between?
                            Let me know, I’ll give it a try.

                              I can turn on my computer and do nothing and still cannot delete those files without an unlocking utility. I downloaded the files a good week or two ago.

                              It gets even more spooky. I d/l one of these files to another PC and have exactly the same problem. OS is the same, Win 7 x64.

                              <smoking gun=“”>Uninstalled PA and rebooted and COULD delete file. Re-installed PA and cannot delete file</smoking> . Saved my settings and reapplied them before trying the second delete (which failed).

                              I did save my settings before uninstalling - anybody want the reg file for testing?

                                . . . you have preview turned on? Try turning it off (Alt-P) and see if that helps?

                                    Sorry. I thought it might help. I had some problem deleting files when preview was open in PA mini. I thought it was worth a try.

                                    One other possibility. If you have that file type set to always use Volume Shadow Copy Support, it might keep the file open in explorer.

                                    The last option is there is something about the partition (I assume that is J:?) that is causing the problem.

                                      Hi,

                                      See post #13 for some tests that I ran on another computer. Strangely, only my four OpenSuSE ISOs are affected.

                                      In short, I can delete the files without PA installed.

                                      Cheers

                                        hmmm, lets try with your settings. If you can please send them over(in a cab file) to support at conexware dot com and I can try to reproduce that way.

                                        Did you perform an installation of the said ISOs before attempting to delete them or can you reproduce it by just downloading the file and attempting to delete it right away after download?

                                        thanks again!

                                                    Issue seems fixed, but the version installed is 15.01.05 not 15.01.06 as expected.

                                                        Sorry to report but the problem is back. Using the latest version.

                                                        I am clearing out my Linux ISO folder and the issue has presented itself with the OpenSuSE 13.2 x64 ISO (I’m now using Tumbleweed). The file is locked by 5 explorer.exe processes.

                                                        I copied the file to a different computer and got the same problem.

                                                        I shall keep the file for testing purposes to check any fixes.

                                                          is this the same ISO as before? Since PA did not get update in-between, so what else changed?

                                                            There was an update and we thought the issue had been fixed, please see messages #23 & 24. It is the same file, viz openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso, the problem exists on two PCs with the same file and same version of PA (the latest). The OS is Win 7 x64 in both cases.

                                                            The problem was reproduced by yourselves as per earlier in the thread.

                                                            Update:- Another ISO is affected - a Tumbleweed ISO. Just moving it to another computer to check if the delete fails there too…it does.
