    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

    BigMikeB

    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

    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.

    Solved compress to .pa not showing

      In the PA shell Extension you have :
      Compress to “xxxxx.zip”
      Compress to “xxxxx.7z”
      Compress to…
      PowerArchiver

      If you select 'Compress to…" , another shell opens : ‘Compress with option’… and finaly here you can select the PA codec pack.
      Is it a hard job to add in the PA shell ExtensionCompress to "xxxxx.pa’’ ?
      Saves a lot of repeating shell pop-ups if you want pack individual files all over the HD in PA codec.

        If you try in PA the options/configuration/shell extensions/compression… and add ‘Compress to PA’ into the shell menu, the shell menu is adapted but once you quit, by default the Compress to pa is missing again in the shell menu… Protected ?

          Hi @pirrbe

          Was it removed somehow? You can go to Options>Config>Shell Extensions>Compression tab and add it.

          That should work. Also, Options>Set Installation Defaults will reset everything to default options, including the option

            Once I press OK (after adding the PA compress option) , this options is still missing in explorer shell extension. Reason: going back to the option/config/shell shows again the PA compress option on the left side… not on the right side. So it is reset…

              Are on on a 64 or 32 bit system?
              What about Set Installation defaults? Does that bring it back?

                Can you use Options> Save Settings, and then send us .reg file to support at conexware dot com. That way we can test it with your settings. Thank you!

                  I use a 32bitter with OS Win10 Pro. A reset to initial settings still reflects the same problem.
                  The reg file has been sent.
