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.

This seems to be a variation of an old (fixed) bug that seems to have resurfaced.
Open a new tab, empty window.
Close the new tab and I see this.
I have to click on the close tab again to return to the proper state.

Cheers!
You can maybe answer a question that has been bugging me.
When I open a new tab should there or should there not be something in the left pane of the main window?
If there was something there it would make finding an archive easier than having to go to Open archive in the toolbar then searching your HD for it.

if you have hdd browsing, it should be filled with treeview of your hdd?
But good idea about something there if user is not using/browsing hdd? Maybe MRU archives? Or output from favorite archives window? @Alpha-Testers - i know @Brian-Gregory is using classic with folders, maybe he can give some input?

That’s what it’s like as in the last screenshot in first post. But as soon as I click on a new tab, then it’s as in the first screenshot. As you can see a totally empty window.

yes, that tab shows its own folder panel… so whatever is in the tab, it shows there.
since tab is empty with no archive open, then it shows empty folder panel currently.
this is why I have suggested that maybe we can show MRU or favorites there, that allows you to even more easily click on recent archives

Ah! Got you now. ;)

Get’s my vote as I feel it should show something i there.

How will this work with your proposal here?
- 1st tab on opening with no arguments: Files and folders/folder pane shows “My PC”
- 1st tab on opening with archive: Archive content/folder pane shows archive folder structure
- opening an archive will open a new tab, folder pane shows archive folder structure
- opening a new tab by (+) will show MRU list/Favorites?
On the first guess, I would vote for “Favorites” to fill the empty pane :-)
Probably, that will make it pretty confusing for the standard user…
But the pane should never be empty. That is confusing, too.
Maybe restricting browsing “My PC” to explorer mode and using folder pane in archive mode consequently for Favorites/MRU and for archive folder structures, in case an archive is open, is smarter. -

So i dont think it will be too crazy for pro users… and it is useful for sure.
