    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?

    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    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.

      @spwolf:

      now back to only thing left - changing to modern toolbar locks up PA… where do you change it, under View menu or in Configuration window?

      thanks!

      Under the View menu it works fine. It happens when I try to change it in the configuration window.

      I tested a bit and it seems that PA locks up “directly” (with the text in the status bar) if an archive is opened. If no archive is opened then it seems that just nothing happend. PA seems still to work then. You can go to the configuration window again and see that a classic skin is still selected but the “Modern Toolbar” is now checked at the same time. You can go throug some menus in the toolbar but PA doesn’t seem to work properly. For example PA doesn’t open archives if I try to open in the toolbar or menu bar.

          Btw is it possible to switch back to the file icons of PA 2015? Because I’m used to it and for now I don’t really like the new ones.

            I just found another bug.

            Some archives with the extension .rar, .tar, .zip (maybe files with other extensions as well) don’t have the option “Extract here” in the shell menu although it is set in the configurations. I couldn’t figure out so far why it affects some archives with said extensions and others don’t. And for that archives where the “Extract here” entry is missing, when I click on “Extract to [filename]” the “Open with” dialouge of Windows appears and wants me to choose a program for opening the file, where PA is pre selected.

                Under View, there is Icon Set option, check Original and that will switch back to old icons.

                  I mean the ones in the Windoes Explorer, not in PA itself.

                    Here I have 2 .zip files. One has the option “Extract Here”, the other has not. For the one that has the option “Extract here” the files are extracted as intended when click on "Extract to [filename]. For the other just the “Open with” window of Windows comes up.

                        Archive comments.
                        When I try to add a new comment to an archive, or change an existing one, I pull up the Comment box.
                        After saving the Comment, only the Initial letter of the first word of the comment appears. This is whether or not Comments are docked.

                              The problems I mentioned are gone with the new version. But I found another bug. PA seems to have problems with multi volume .rar files (*.part1.rar, *.part2.rar etc.). Whenever I open such a file, PA asks for the next volume even if it exists in the same folder. And it displays the volume name in many chinese characters although there are nothing asian characters in the file or in the file name. To view the archive I just have to click on cancel or on ok for every volume.

                                ah, annoying! Thanks for the report… just to confirm, extract will work fine, both main and shell while error will show only when opening in main PA (but will work fine).

                                We will update once again… let us know if you notice anything else. Thanks!

                                            choose Properties and you’ll see Open with PowerArchiver 2015 !

                                              In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
                                              Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.

                                                In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
                                                Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.

                                                we will see if we can add that, Toolbar is all new now. Thanks!

                                                  Using Select All via CTRL+A or menu does NOT work at All in Classic GUI or Modern Ribbon GUI if “Use Checkboxes for filelists” is enabled!

                                                          can you send over screenshot of what you get with fonts in .49? It saves font size/type in listviews, but works fine for me on default settings… maybe cabbed .reg file as well so we can reproduce?

                                                          many thanks!!!

                                                            Ok,
                                                            Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
                                                            Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.

                                                            Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.
                                                            Disable “Use Checkboxes” everything remains fine.

                                                            BTW, can the next forum upgrade include support for WebP images please!

                                                                Since this seems to be the PA 16 bug thread…

                                                                1. Updated to PA 16.00.46 from auto update of PA 2015 required new license key without any warning that I noticed. That would be really annoying if I wasn’t already on support and perpetual licenses.

                                                                2. Launch the PowerArchiver Encryption Suite, Click Encrypt Files, click the Red X to close window and get an Access Violation dialog. On Win 10 November 2015 x64 Enterprise Edition.

                                                                3. Select a group of files in File Explorer and pick Compress To…|Compress With Options… and get the PA 2016 status dialog over top of the options dialog and clicking the options dialog doesn’t bring it to front - the status dialog is always over top the options dialog (!). Have to drag options dialog out from under status dialog. (Note: This may be (partially) related to my having DisplayFusion running and set to move new windows to the monitor my mouse cursor is on and I have two monitors.)

                                                                            Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
                                                                            Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.

                                                                            Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.
                                                                            Disable “Use Checkboxes” everything remains fine.

                                                                            BTW, can the next forum upgrade include support for WebP images please!

                                                                            My previous bug report (check original post for screenshot) remains in build 50 and “Use Checkboxes” disabled or enabled has nothing to do with it.

                                                                            In options:

                                                                            Browsing View set to List = fine
                                                                            Browsing View set to Thumbnails = fine

                                                                            After switching to Thumbnails and then back to Details, Details is fine until PA closed and restarted again. Once PA is loaded things are missing again.

                                                                            Haven’t really found a workaround for the missing items in the Tree pane either :(

I will check with Ivan if he can take a look at this tomorrow since it is a larger issue. I can reproduce it with your reg at any time so thats good!

                                                                              edit: if you move to Classic Light skin for few days, that will work. It only happens with Classic Dark skin.
                                                                              edit2: wrong colors are set, thats why it is missing… it is there but with white text color.

                                                                                      Emailed cab file with reg key as well.

This Only affects Classic mode and not Modern Ribbon mode from my experiments.

In Modern mode (Modern Dark\White skin), Open archive droplist list everything matches perfectly!

                                                                                          The Extract dropdown lists are perfect across the board so far.

                                                                                                              I have been looking to somehow get the same style of icons, but it is hard to find. These were custom designed by our old icon designer Maria that unfortunately died from terminal disease few years ago :-(.

                                                                                                              New ones were designed by our friends at Reset Web design but it is very different style from Original set.

                                                                                                              1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                                                                                  i know… we are finally making use of it. I am not sure if we should rename it to something else though.

                                                                                                                                  I like the idea of Slow/Fast ring in Windows 10, but it is kind of hard to translate to 30+ languages and especially at first glance.

                                                                                                                                  However Microsoft did popularize the naming so it may be more understandable now.

                                                                                                                                  With PowerArchiver 2016, we have made the changes that allow us to publish weekly updates for instance when needed. Basically same thing we have been doing on forums since .33 was initially announced up until now with latest being .60.

                                                                                                                                  Any ideas, anyone?
