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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

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.
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
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.

try uninstalling it and see if it helps. In general, it should not cause Windows Explorer to be slower unless you are right clicking on a file. It does not really matter what computer you have.

@shahin you can disable shell extensions by using shellexview:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.htmlOpen it up after install, find PowerArchiver and disable all of them. Then in Task Manager, right click on Windows Explorer and select Restart.
PA Shell should not show in the menu anymore.
Windows Explorer takes around 2s-3s on Win10 build that I have, but there is no difference if PA is enabled or disabled, nothing noticeable… I went ahead and disabled most of my shell extensions and is still seems slow.
Right clicking on archive is super fast though.
-
@Shahin i tested a bit more, disabled all 5 different compression utilities i have installed / their shells, and Explorer startup speed is the same 3s according to the stopwatch.
Check on your side, and lets see whats happening.
thanks.

Powerarchiver shell extension enabled about 1s 20ms, PowerArchiver shell extension disabled about 55ms.
WinRAR shell extension enabled about 80ms
WinZip shell extension enabled about 90ms

Is this for right click menu or for actual explorer.exe startup? It is interesting thats so fast for you and so slow for me, might be network drive.

It’s for actual Explorer.exe
yes, so fast, my drive is Samsung 960 EVO M.2

I have same ssd and 7700HQ :)
Now I envy you.
Can you try disabling various different PA extensions listed there and see how it affects speed? Maybe we can gain that 0.3s back. I cant really reproduce it here right now, there is no difference whatever I do.
thanks!

Are you using firmware 3B7QCXE7? If so its a know issue with the Samsung 960 EVO. More info below.
Really long thread, but worth the read.

@spwolf I’ll test ASAP

It’s hard to decide witch extension has the most impact
after long testing I think “Context Menu” “Context Menu 64” and Property Sheet" have the most impact on Explorer Opening Delay
