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.
Solved Not prompting for Password

I created an encrypted 7z archive out of a few old Word docs and had it move them into the archive and then delete the originals when done. That part worked OK but I’m having a problem that it is NOT asking for the password when I open the archive. There is nothing saved for it in Password Manager. I even copied that 7z archive to a NAS drive and opened it with a different PA install on another computer and it also didn’t ask for a password…
Obviously that is a problem. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

@bigdog encrypt filenames should work fine in 18.01.03 now… please check it out, thanks!
-
@bigdog is the archive actually encrypted? Can you extract the files without password? Thanks!
-
I tried it again and it does seem to prompt before actually extracting the files which is some relief. However it does show the filenames in the archive without any password entered which it should not be doing if they filenames are encrypted.

Filename encryption is optional… so try it again and make sure it is checked in Add window?
Also, .pa format is a bit more secure than 7z, you can also try that too - both better security and compression are the benefits.
thanks!

Yep it was checked (tried it twice) and still didn’t encrypt the filenames when I moved them into the 7z archive. I know pa is supposed to be more secure but for these particular files needed to use a format that was more universal so went with 7z.
Anyway if you could take a look at why it is not encrypting the file names when moving files (and deleting originals if that makes a difference) into a 7z archive, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

where are you doing it from? When I first replied, I checked before via compress + options in shell extensions and it has worked correctly. There are many different ways you can do it in PA, so just making sure I tried the same as you did.
thank you!
-
I select the files and then right click PowerArchiver->Encrypt and then it opens PA where I can select options
It then moves them to the 7z archive and deletes the originals (like it should). I go to open that newly created 7z archive and it opens, displaying the filenames without prompting for a password. As you can see in the previous screenshot, encrypt filenames is checked but here is what it shows when I open it.
-
thanks, got it now… you can use shell extensions in between the fix, they properly hide the filename (compress + options instead of encrypt, and just select options there).
-
Any idea when there might be a fixed version for it?
Thanks

Not yet, but as i said earlier, instead of find encrypt in shell, do compress with options (with same encrypt options) and it will work just fine.
Thanks!
