    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

    Security vulnerabilities in 7zip / Update for PowerArchiver and PACL libraries?
    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.

              What file specifically? we might need to report it ourselves for faster handling.

                  i have personally reported it 10x to them in past 30 days, it should have been fixed. According to VirusTotal it is not reported anymore, i am sure you are using latest definitions? thanks.

                      I don’t like the .83 version at all. It’s always locking up saying not responding. Makes the whole PC slow and a bit unreliable.

                        when does it happen? Let us know more… first report so far. What has changed is add and extract windows, not much else inside PA (other than codecs).

                              @spwolf I reinstalled over the top. Possibly it’s better now but checking for updates is often very slow and shows “Not responding”. Maybe it’s just your update server that’s slow.

                                it is small text file on our CDN, so likely a problem between CDN servers and your ISP. I had a vision of PA crashing and freezing :).

                                If it keeps happening, we can send tracert logs to the CDN, maybe they can re-route it.

                                          Fixed. Though I had to import my settings for it to take effect.

                                          Under View> Display Style… we will add it to the same button on status bar too.

                                            @spwolf integration of this option in toolbar is a brilliant idea, works perfect again now. I also had my doubts about my settings …
