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.
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:

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.
Solved Select files or subfolders out of order in PA Dashboard 2017-74

Via explorer with the drag/drop you still can add selected files/subfolder to a new or existing Archive. If you use the PA Dashboard to create a new archive or adding extras to an existing archive you ONLY can select a folder. The PA explorer shows up the mainfolders, but you cannot select a subfolder or even files in a mainfolder to archive…

@pirrbe maybe a screenshot would help us understand it better?

Most of the time, I use PA for extracting or viewing archives but today I had a ZIP file I wanted to update but can’t. I can’t enter ANY subfolders in PA’s Add files dialog!
Drag and Drop doesn’t work from XYplorer pro or Windows Explorer to PA

@ckit Ah, I am not the only frustrated :-). But I use GP Soft Directory Opus and with this beauty you can drag/drop files into PA. (I didn’t know that you cannot with MS Edge/Explorer, indeed). There are of course PLAN B solutions for your problem… Example : Open PA dashboard and select below the PA EXPLORER. Arrange the dual panes so on the left you have the ‘explorer’ and right you open you Archive Folder. Now you can drag/drop files !! Surprise : click on +add and the selected file in PA explorer (left pane) will be added to your open archive (right pane). Here it works, so I hope it works too for you.

@spwolf ok :
Suppose I want to create an archive from my ‘hits of the 70’s’, these files are located in a subfolder on D:\ripped songs\hits of the 70’s.
I open the dashboard of PA and create a new archive : hits 70ties. The ‘add pop up window’ appears showing the folder ‘Ripped songs’.
But NO WAY to select the subfolder as PA doesn’t open in this pop-up explorer screen the subfolders…So even if you want to select individual files located in subfolders you may forget it. The PA dashboard / add explorer doesn’t give ACCESS to subfolders…

My Confirm meter just broke… LOL Confirmed!

@pirrbe got it, wrote it in… i wonder how long was it like this! Thanks!
-
@ckit so where doesnt the drag and drop work at? PA opened archive or something else? Thanks!
-
@spwolf I wonder too… I am still playing around before a final walk over to PA, I discovered this. The funny thing is that in PA explorer dual panes, all PA commands works even on subfolders and the drag/drop. I underrated the power of that PA explorer. But of course, using the PA dashboard is easier then PA explorer dual panes :-)

PA main window open with no archive opened, should invoke a New Archive window but doesn’t also mouse cursor is displayed as unavailable
PA main window open with MPC-BE.x64-installer.zip open, should invoke a Add Files window but doesn’t also mouse cursor is displayed as unavailable

can you send us your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverint to support at conexware dot com. And then you can try resetting to the defauls in Options menu. It should work fine, works fine here, might be some option or something. Thanks!
p.s. be sure to first save settings to reg so we have an example!

if you are missing some feature from explorer mode, let us know of course.

There’s no need to send you the REG file, I found the bug myself.
PowerArchiver running as Standard user privileges has no issues BUT change powerarc.exe’s Compatibility tab to “Run this program as an Administrator” and omg we’re buggy!

@spwolf GREAT : indeed, if you enable that ‘Advanced Add’ in config then my remark becomes a pseudo bug. Now folders/subfolders/files… the whole circus is showed ! Thanks for this tip. Suggestion : enable this as a default setting in a next release.
-
@pirrbe i like it too in PA 2017, but we need to improve it a little bit more to make it nicer. Regular add window is a bit easier to use for novice users, at least right now.

@spwolf great, selecting files/folders_subfolders works now in the Dashboard pop-up explorer. Status : solved :-)
