    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?

    Hi,

    From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    Thanks

    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’m just beginning to make greater use of clouds i.e. Google Drive and Dropbox.

      If, when I have an archive open, I can select one or the other clouds and be given a cloud folder tree. When I Upload interactively to the cloud(s), my archive/file goes into the folder I specified.

      However, I want to do most of this on schedules using pbs backup scripts. In these, under the Cloud destination tab, (see screen snip) there is a Destination field for the cloud.

      I have tried several permutations on this, but without any working properly. I therefore welcome advice on this; specifically:-

      • is the cloud destination truly a folder on the cloud website i.e. in my Dropbox account online, or is it in fact the local folder on my PC used for the up/down/sync between cloud and my machine?
      • depending on what the answer is, how do I specify the folder in my PBS script? what is the format?

      For example, I have a folder on Dropbox called “AUDIT”. I want my local archive, Backup_audit.zipx, to be saved to 3 places - my archive folder in My Documents, my backup USB flash, and also into the AUDIT folder in my Dropbox cloud.
      The first two work fine, but the third automated cloud upload does not. should the cloud destination be given as just AUDIT, or https:/dropbox(etc)/AUDIT or what?

      I’m missing a trick here, and please forgive my stupid questions.

        Indeed, it always uploads to the Root folder even when a specified folder is entered.
        Logging this in, thank you for bringing it up!

          I’ve got the latest PA (16.03.01), and my .pbs script, which is supposed to upload the archive to a folder called PGP on my GoogleDrive, is still uploading to the root.

          Either I’m not specifying the cloud target folder right, or something else is amiss. I’d appreciate any help on this.

          Thanks in advance.

              No problem. I wasn’t sure whether it had been fixed yet.

                  I’ve tried this with both Dropbox and Google Drive.

                  Dropbox doesn’t seem to do anything i.e. not uploaded. Google I’ve tried with folder designations /My Drive/Backups, /Backups and variations, also with backslashes but my archive always ends of in the root folder and not in the Backups folder.

                    Can you please send your .pbs script to support at conexware dot com and we’ll take a look

                      I’ll do that. I’ll also send a snip of the clouds page of the script edit, as there seems to be no mention of the cloud in the .pbs file if I look at it with a text editor.

                        Got the info and the .pbs and will give it a check.

                          Still don’t seem to have this working as it should. All my cloud uploads via .pbs to Google Drive continue to go to the root My Drive and never to a subdirectory i.e. My Drive/Taxfiles/ (for example).

                          The pbs file seems to have no reference to the cloud, although a file does get uploaded to there (albeit the root).

                              Personally I’m amazing anyone can manage to actually have an idea of how this should work.
                              I had a look at it when it first appeared in PA and found it utterly baffling. I couldn’t make any sense of it or how one was supposed to use it.

                                should be used as you would enter a destination folder for an FTP server.
                                We had fixed this and it worked previously where, for example, /Dropbox/subfoldername/ is typed in for the destination folder and the backup would be saved there.
                                logging this in for fixing, thanks for the heads up!

                                  small tweak, to upload to subfolder, omit the root folder (dropbox in above post) and type in /test/ to upload to initial subfolder, and that works.
                                  Uploading to /test/test1/ is what needs to be fixed and is logged in.

                                  sorry for the confusion, thanks again for the heads up!
