    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

    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.

      Two tests are involved (zip / pa)
      ZIP
      Parameter ‘overwrite previous file’ ON (activated)
      First initial run, backup created with time stamp 23:05
      0_1497306898357_7e5657cf-75e6-4ca9-b03f-9baed03721b6-image.png
      Second run : ok, backup is overwriten, new time stamp 23:07
      0_1497306940743_f836bc9f-c687-4b26-990f-45ab68d7df4d-image.png
      Parameter set to ‘overwrite’ OFF (not activated)
      First run with new parameter setting shows a time stamp of 23:31:
      0_1497306983514_f529bdf2-b5aa-4f92-9209-6ed930949628-image.png
      Second run : Backup to D:\Backups\PA Backups\Test overwrite\test zip overwrite off.zip started at 12/06/2017 23:33:49
      The time stamp in explorer still is on 23:31… perfect, no overwrite
      0_1497307024168_b2699542-9046-4148-8a38-5cfefffb2ba4-image.png
      Now still with the param OFF, I change something to the soure file and saved it : file time stamp 23:44
      Perfect, the zip archive is overwritten with the changed source.
      0_1497307056776_cfb8f252-f767-4272-aa73-dd86076d4ca1-image.png
      Final test for the zip : a second run will show the time stamp of 23:47… no overwrite, perfect
      CONCLUSION FOR AN ARCHIVE WITH ZIP COMPRESSION : parameter overwrite ON/OFF works perfect

      Now the tests with a backup archive with PA COMPRESSION contains a BUG.
      If you activate or disactivate the overwrite parameter, the archive will ALLWAYS BE OVERWRITEN !!
      I changed the .pbs to create a .PA compressed backup, with the parameter overwrite OFF
      First run , archive created with time stamp 0:16
      0_1497307115836_95da6b6f-0e48-42a8-8f6a-caae2f6ddf4a-image.png
      Second run : source file unchanged, parameter overwrite OFF, the time stamp changed. The archive is OVERWRITTEN !!!

      Strange :
      The Archive option in the .pa is empty ?

            just checked 85 and 86, seems to work fine.

            Would you mind sending us the pbs script you are using to support and we will try with that

            thanks!
