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.
ZIP move action to different drive does not move the files

I have been recently creating a few archives by moving files into the archive. On the same disk, it works as expected in that the archive is created and no files outside the archive remain.
If I create an archive on D: from files on C:, and move them, the archive is created and the files remain (as if I had added them). This is not the expected behaviour for a move operation.
Is this a bug or by design?

drteeth,
It seems to be more specific as we just tested it and it worked.
So let us know what kind of compression did you use and how many files, what sizes? What drive letters?
thanks!

Hi,
The same files and the same compression options were used in both cases; please see attachments.
The move operation works when the achieve is created in the home folder (C:\extract), but not when the archive was created on the D: drive.
I have uploaded the 3 files in question to www.drteeth.co.uk/pa for your convenience.
If this does not help you I will double-check, even though I am sure I did before posting.

can you also send your .reg file, reference this thread, to support at conexware, so team can check it out as well… Neither me or Ivan could reproduce it, so it has to be something little bit more specific. Thanks.

Hi,
Sent as CAB as per previous requests.

thanks for sending the settings
tried Moving to D drive here as well, as well as an external drive and the files from C are always moved.
Same while using your settings as well….hmmm, will try on different machines -
Hi,
I just checked things again this end and all worked well. I do not know what happened…cosmic rays, yet another ‘senior moment’ etc.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but thanks for being there.
