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.
Blurry Text

hi PA
since i have a new Monitor & windows 10 the window of powerarchiver is very blurry
i found the solution on Microsoft TechNet, but they say it’s up to the programmer to fix the Software

would be nice if you could check this.

you need to lower the dpi to 125dpi, at 150dpi, it will not work properly… Only thing we can do is disable dpi scaling at 150dpi completely.
-
hi, i’m using a dpi of 110%,
-
what version of PA are you using?
-
the latest
-
in the properties under comppability i can disable scaling high dpi
then the program Shows finei made 2 pics of the difference but i don’t know how to Show you
-
can you do a screenshot please?
-
send it to support at conexware dot com if you cant attach it here.
-
i see what you are talking about… please do use the disable checkbox in properties to get it back to normal size… not sure what exactly we can do since we cant disable it automatically I think thats one of the Win cert logo rules.
We will try doing something better in the future.

does the Microsoft link didn’t help?

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/…/dn528847.aspxnope, this is how it works for delphi applications…. this is auto scaling by Windows.

hi
i’m using a System tool called privazer.
today on their Forum they wrote“we need your help to test UI changes for high DPIscreens (no other changes in this version). Simply download it, use it and have a look if there are layout/design issue: It should look much better on high DPI screen.”
so there must be a way or??
-
Marc, let us know what do you need aside from disabled dpi support that makes it blurry… anything else?
-
i just want you to fix it and not to disable it. as another programmer did for his software too after i asked too check it
** is high DPI aware. However, it did not properly tell the Windows it and therefore some Windows UI scaling values (e.g. 125%) did not work properly, but Windows scaled ** as a bitmap resulting blurred font.
It’s now fixed

thank you Marc for your comments, we spoke about this over support chat yesterday… we will take a deeper look into doing manual adjustments for larger dpi sizes in PA 2016… hopefully it will be possible. Thanks!

hi PA
since i have a new Monitor & windows 10 the window of powerarchiver is very blurry
i found the solution
I can confirm that this will look really nice in PA 2016… we just did work on it, and results are good… one control is still giving us issue but it should be working fine by the time beta comes out.
It will work fine with 125%, 150% and even 200% larger dpi. So 4K screens here we come.
Thanks for reporting this and if you have any other reports or wishes, let us know (new thread though!)

hi drazen,
great News. txs. but will it only work fine with 125,150,200%? as i use 110%
-
