    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.

      When creating a .pa archive using optimise strong which contains various files types I noticed that file.tar.gz and file.tgz are treated differently when they are in fact exactly the same and should be treated identically.

        cool - so what method is used for each? And which one gets better compression?

          Until @Brian-Gregory answers, I did a quick test, and can confirm his point.

          For the same file, tar.gz is compressed, while tgz not.

              @nikkho sweet, so whats the compression like for the one being reflated? try individual file compression with .tar.gz one. I wonder how it compares to original one. Is it extra 8% or?

                It can be a huge improvement when there are a lot of them in a solid archive:

                  Did a simple test. Files were from Volkov Commander: https://vvv.kiev.ua/download/vc49908a.zip
                  I extracted them, and compressed as a tar.gz in PA. Then I copied it to a same file with tgz extension.
                  Now, added both onto separate archives:

                  98.113 vc49908a.tar.gz.pa
                  100.103 vc49908a.tgz
                  100.103 vc49908a.tar.gz
                  100.685 vc49908a.tgz.pa
                  106.255 vc49908a.zip

                    @spwolf .tar.gz is handled like a zip file which I think is correct because it gives good results. While .tgz is, I think, handled like an unknown file type.

                        yes, we use reflate for tar.gz and should be with tgz too… reflate “unpacks” deflate streams and compresses them with plzma instead of deflate… so result is always going to be better, how much is determined by the data inside. If it is something very compressible, then result is going to be much better.

                            @Brian-Gregory apparently some bug with this version of forums, try using upload button or paste (not sure which one are you trying)

                                @Brian-Gregory copy it first and then ctrl-p into the post you are writing… one of these works, sometimes both… discovered last week by pierrbe… there is new version out, we will update it in the next few days, likely it will solve the problem. Thanks!

                                  @spwolf I don’t see how ctrl-p is suddenly not gong to act as the print command.

                                      @spwolf But nothing happens with ctrl-v or right click paste. Does it have to be a certain kind of image in the clipboard? Or a certain web browser? I’m using Google Chrome.

                                        open it in image viewer, copy-c and then copy-v to the post reply…

                                        it should work in chrome right click> copy image but I use Snap for captures and it automatically opens up there so I cant really test it.

                                        I am sure @cetko will update forum software early next week so it should be fixed by then anyway.

                                            @Brian-Gregory . Very frustrating : sometimes it works but then suddenly ‘not enough privileges’… I use the Edge Explorer Win10 and the standard Snipping Tool of Win10. (copy/past = ctrl-c / ctrl-v ctrl-p-printscreen !!?). I also tried to past first the snip in Word and then copy/past that image and other soft… but the problem is that communication third part soft.
                                            I hope that the new update will avoid a nervous breakdown.
