    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?

    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.

      In the latest build 18.00.58 I’m noticing that the contents of the main window is a bit slow on loading. It’s not a great amount of time, milliseconds to be honest and has taken me ages to catch a screenshot of it, but it is noticeable.

      Not an issue if I use “Classic Simple” skin.

        i see painting/color change sometimes when using classic toolbar skins. I went back to .53 and it was the same… I will try some other versions too.

        But I never see scroll bar changing position like in your screenshot.

        Can you save your settings first via regedit. And then reset to default via Options>?

        Lets see if some option changes something.

        Thanks!

          Reset to default and the window is empty when it starts, as expected. No issue there.

          Changed my startup folder to my preferred folder and changed display style to “Explorer with Folders” selected only. Also changed my skin to my preferred Nightrider skin.

          Those are the only changes I made to the default.

          Closed and then restarted PA, same issue with the with that slowness to draw/paint the window.

            Try defaults with just skin? Maybe something due to the startup folder?

              Defaults with skin - All OK

              Defaults + skin + Change display style to.

              The problem arises.

              Looks at that point as if “Explorer with Folders” is the problem.

              More testing…

              If I select “Explorer Display Style” along with my preferred startup folder, I get a noticable flash of white in some areas of the window where the toolbars appear.

              I’ve seen similar before on the test dialogue where the progress bar appears, when testing a large archive. Was never fast enough to catch a screenshot of it though.

              Maybe a combination of Explorer with Folders and my preferred startup folder is too much for those skins.

                HUGE Confirmed with Quartz Violet skin!
                Turning OFF Folders Bar fixes it but the situation is unacceptable

                  ah, i get it… it is when it loads contents of hdd, together with custom skin and icons. Since scrollbar is custom painted + it waits for listing of default folder, you get that effect.

                  I will check if we can improve this. I dont think it was any different in previous builds.

                    If it did occur it was obviously too fast for my old eyes to pick up on it. ;)

                      might depend on number of files in the folder, but i went back to .37 and if folders bar + skins + hdd browse is on, scroll bar of the folders bar will be seen changing size at startup.

                      I wrote it in… thanks!
