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.
PA 9.2 Bug: Relative folder info is NOT stored
-
if you add more than 2 directories to an archive. PA will save the full path and not the relative path, even if you have deselected “Save full folder info”. I added the directories to the PA window by drag & Drop
-
Which format?
How did you tried to add (main window, shell extensions?)?
-
ZIP
I opened the ZIP in PA. Then I added the files from the windows explorer to the PA main window. In the following add dialog I deselected “Save full folder info”.
-
Yep, thanks for the report. Awesome. When you select several folders to d&d into archive, it doesnt work properly and stores full path.
thanks for the find!
-
never mind
I am glad to help out
-
Hi,
you can test new release from here:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release/powarc920.exePlease let us know if it works fine asap.
thanks,

still doesn’t work in 9.20.07
can’t drag&drop empty folders to an existing archive
-

Hey, it is you that posted in the wrong thread :-). This was about storing relative info when d&d several folders into zip archive… It should work much faster as well now.
thanks,

you are right
But the relative folder info still doesn’t work
I open the archive
F:\Temp\21 - Track 21.zipThen I drag&Drop the folder F:\Temp\kjlkjj with some mp3 files into the upper ZIP file
PA will store it as
Temp\kjlkjj in the main directory of the zip file and not as kjlkjj
-
It sure works for me - test with some deeper folder to make sure it works/doesnt work…
-
-
normal files works OK
-
directories NOT OK
e.g.
I d&D the folder E:\Eigene Dateien\AquaNox2\576to an archive
E:\Eigene Dateien\AquaNox2\Savegame2.zip
the directory will be added as
AquaNox2\576and not as 576
