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.
Unsolved PA 18.00.53 tab opening

Hi,
PA does not seem to be opening archives in tabs anymore. I have archive “A” loaded and it shows in one tab. If I load another archive (from within PA), the same tab then has the just-loaded archive in it. I would expect a second tab to open. I have not knowingly changed any options that would affect this.
OT: A while back I requested that moving up and down in an archive’s folder structure could be considered to work with a mouse’s forward and back buttons like windows explorer does. It is so automatic for me I still try to use them with PA first before realising I have to double-click on the two dots. Can this be done?
Cheers

is this in dual panel explorer view? We reproduced it, just making sure it is the same issue?
thanks!

ah yeah, so it is another thing… by default when you use Open, it requires you do click on + to create new tab in order to open there.
And if you use windows explorer to doubleclick on file, it will be automatically added to new tab.
So you think we should change behaviour when using Open button too?
-
Hi spwolf,
If I double click on files in explorer, another widow opens even if I have reuse windows selected. Tabs used to work in a previous version and the only things I have
knowingly messed aboutexperimented with recently are the toolbar icons.So you think we should change behaviour when using Open button too?
Absolutely! I did not realise that that was the case. I cannot understand why it was made to behave differently. IMHO, consistency is important in programs as it goes a long way to make them intuitive. I would assume that is somebody does not like tabs, they would likely want to turn them off globally rather than here and there.

when it comes to opening from explorer, can you check latest .56 and lets see from there? It is on fast ring and also posted on forums. Thanks!

No real change. Double-clicking in explorer opens another window. Opening from the MRU list removes the previously opened archive so that only one window and the same tab is present.

try reseting your PA settings via Options> Reset to defaults. You can save them before if you have some important changes.
And lets see what happens then? Thanks.
edit: do save those settings first so we can investigate why.

Hi spwolf,
Settings saved first and PA set to defaults. Double clicking archives opened them in a different tab, opening from the MRU list did not (it should) and neither did opening files using the open button.
Would you like me to email you my settings? It will take me a couple of minutes to find your email addy.
Cheers

Just a bump.
Spwolf, do you want my settings emailed to you.

@drteeth If you click on new tab sign on tab, then new tab is opened and open/mru will open there. This is how it is made to work right now.
For always opening new tab, we have to implement new option so it is switchable on/off. For the way I use PA, it would create too many tabs that I would have to close manually.
thanks!
edit: sorry for not answering sooner, we had server troubles yesterday.

Hi spwolf,
No worries about the late reply.
As for your problem with many tabs, just have a “close all” option.
What about my request to be able to use a mouse’s forward and back buttins to navigate the archive? I always press my back button first by instinct and only then realise that I have to use the cursor and my left mouse button.
I look forward to the tab enhancements.
Cheers
