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.

Some labels in the help toolbar are not translated:

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.
ISO extract 16.00.43

Using the right click options to extract an ISO file does not work. You can tell that something is not right as the progress bar goes much faster than when the ISO is extracted by loading the archive in PA first. With the file used in the screen shots, I did a right-click extract and managed to get zero bytes in the resultant folder.
-
When an ISO file is extracted from within PA, everything behaved as if all the contents have been extracted, but the display in PA and windows explorer is so different - please see attachment.
-
When opening an ISO in PA, is it normal for the file sizes of the individual files to be misrepresented? See screenshot showing the status bar.
-
How can I change the file size units of files displayed in PA?
Same issues with Linux and Windows ISOs.

Many thanks drteeth! Got it
-
as to cabs and 7zips (maybe some rars?), this is due to solid archives.
Solid archive has all of the archive in single large “file” (segment), so individual file compression is not known. This is why cab and 7zip (and RAR with solid mode) have much better compression.
If there are any suggestions on how to display these, it would be welcome. This is what engines return. We though of putting something else but then using empty or NA might lead people to think it is broken.
-
Has that got anything to do with the points raised above, namely 1 & 2?

hah, i thought it was a CAB file since you wrote cab… now I see it is ISO… yeah, it should be with proper numbers, I will check few ISOs to see why it happens in newer engine.

Spwolf,
It is not just the numbers*…please see the OP.
I’ll be ‘out if action’ for a day or so, so don’t worry if I do not get.
*I did write CAB in the original post for some reason. I did delete it within minutes of posting but I think somebody had already read and/or replied to it.
Cheers

thats probably why - i read op when it just came out.
As to 1/2, Mili already reproduced this and wrote it into our bug tracker.
As to the 4. units, You mean change between bytes, kB, MB?
-
Please try with this release when you have time:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160044.exeDidnt have too much time to test it myself, but crazy numbers and empty files should not show.
See the issue with extracting files in shell if it repeats itself.
Thanks!

Yes, that is what I would like to do.
Happy new year.
