    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

    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?

    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.

      Dragging and dropping files in explorer onto an existing archive file(PA not open) brings up the “Add” dialogue box showing the archive file and the files to be added.

      After clicking the Finish button to complete the archiving, a dialogue box appears saying:
      “Cannot create [filename]. File already exists. Update existing file?” with Yes and No buttons.

      Is it possible to default to adding/moving the files to the archive without this prompt? The prompt seems redundant given the “Add” dialogue can only mean one thing for the selected archive file. This is a change in behaviour from PA2016 which added or moved files without any permission being sought.
      Edit: spelling

              No, just installed ver 17.01.04 and the behaviour is still the same.

                @south37 said in Drag and Drop files to existing archive - overwrite prompt:

                No, just installed ver 17.01.04 and the behaviour is still the same.

                Ah, yes. We have removed the update/overwrite dialogue when you are drag and droping onto archive opened in main window.

                But we have left it here - since many of us internally use this to overwite archive, not update.

                Maybe solution in the future would be to detect hold shift for instance when drag and drop, to use it for update? Or ctrl for overwrite? Or? @Mili @Alpha-Testers

                  Given that there are more users than developers, perhaps the Shift+ method should be used to enable the dialogue box with the default being no overwrite query. Just my opinion. Look forward to a resolution.
