BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

Thanks for looking into this. My display settings are 96 dpi (scaled 100%).

I think that the issue might be that I have changed some of the text sizes of components in Windows 10 control panel.
Under Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display and “Change only Text Size” I have the following settings (not sure what the defaults were):
Title Bars - 13 Bold; Menus 12; Message Boxes 12; Palette Titles 9; Icons 11; Tooltips 9.

you should use dpi to enlarge fonts, not font options… with dpi we can detect the change and enlarge the window automatically to support larger fonts. With larger font option (left from Windows 98 Microsoft?) we cant do the same so window does not change, just the font.

• When deleting files from an archive the deleted files are still shown until the display is updated with F5. After delete, menu keys are greyed and can’t be clicked.

Hello, tried this issue using the latest 16.03.01. I opened a couple or archives, one of subfolders inside and one without, deleted a file in both of them and the deleted file was immediately removed from the archive without a manual refresh.

Does this occur for you on all archives or a specific one?
If you can reproduce on a specific archive that you can send us, please do send it to support at conexware dot com and we will take a look at it immediately.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It occurs on all archives that I have tried: .zip, .rar and .gz. Just tried it on some I have downloaded and archives I have created myself; problem still there. So it is not related to a particular archive.

I wonder whether there is a setting I have set to do this.

They are all over the place, not in a system directory. D: drive, E: drive, a ram drive. That’s not the issue.

I was just now experimenting with settings that make a difference. I had the “Viewing Style” (under Configuration View) set to “Classic style” and this is where the display does not update. Changing the style to “Explorer style (with folders)” causes deleted files to be removed from the list immediately; switching the option back to Classic style and deleting files now updates the display immediately and the menus are not greyed out . But, closing PA and reopening the archive and deleting files causes the problem again (Classic style).

Seems like I reproduced it, thanks for the details!

File list needs vertical space padding between lines (it looks cramped with the font I use).

can you send us what font/size you are using so we can see what works with it. Thanks!

The font I am using is Courier New, Bold, Size 14.

Also perhaps related settings under the File Listing options section: Grid lines option selected, Viewing Style Classic
