    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.

      Under Shell Extensions there is an option:
      Extract to filename / multiple archives into separate folders.

      I’d like to do the above but then into a different location e.g. F:\temp
      separate file folders, using the filename as directory name.

      So: Extract to ‘F:\temp’ filename / multiple archives into separate folders

      The current setup will extract the multiple filenames in the same directory
      as where the files are located.

      For good order’s sake:
      file:
      aaa.zip
      bbb.zip
      ccc.zip

      shd be extracted into
      f:\temp\aaa
      f:\temp\bbb
      f:\temp\ccc

      It this is already feasable, how do I configure this??

      Thanks!

        In windows explorer, select the zip files - right click and drag to F:\temp -then select the PowerArchiver options.

        Does that work (only done a quick check in WinXp) ?

          TBGBe that works for me and I like it!

          Another option is using PACL integrated into the shell so when right clicking a zip file you get a new context menu choice…

          Copy the following into your text editor and adjust it to suit your needs. Then save to a file with “.reg” as the extension and double click it to merge it into the registy. Now right click a zip file in Directory Opus (or Windows Explorer) and you have a new choice near the top of the menu.

          -----------------------REG FILE BEGINS ON NEXT LINE DON’T SAVE THIS LINE!
          Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PAZIP\Shell\Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders]
          @=“Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders”
          “Position”=“0”

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PAZIP\Shell\Extract To E-Temp With Subfolders\command]
          @=“d:\temp\test.bat”
          –---------------------REG FILE ENDS ON PREVIOUS LINE DON’T SAVE THIS LINE!

          With test.bat named / edited to ones own needs. For testing purposes I used
          xcopy *.zip e:\temp
          e:
          cd e:\temp
          paext -psub e:\Temp*.zip
          del e:\temp*.zip

          Tested with XP but I think it should work with any version => 95.
          Best wishes.

            Hi,

            you can also set this option to be default in shell extensions. Just take a look at PA> Options> Config> Shell ext.

            thanks,

              thanks,

              Requirement - select multiple zip files
              c:\download\aaa.zip
              c:\download\bbb.zip
              c:\download\ccc.zip

              extract (via shell) to
              f:\utils\aaa
              f:\utils\bbb
              f:\utils\ccc\

              OK, I looked and cannot find it - without using right-click drag.
              As “wulffra” said
              Currently shell will extract the multiple filenames into the same directory
              as where the files are located (c:\download) - Want to give a clue?

                Ah yes, if you want to extract to different root folder, then yes, only way it works is to use drag and drop and then select the option.

                thanks

                    I don’t mean to belittle your hack but I think we should clarify for beginners -

                    1. it uses PACL and not PA
                    2. it needs a fixed utility file “d:\temp\test.bat”
                    3. the destination folder is fixed (e:\temp\… )

                    I know that 2 & 3 can be changed/modified to individual needs, but this is not exactly “user friendly” for beginners.

                    Besides, the restrictions for PACL as opposed to PowerArchiver means that it will not work for all cases e.g 7-zip / filesize >4GB etc.

                      I have liked your solution better since I first read it - I never knew that one could drag and right click drop anything :eek: Thanks for that eye opener!

                      Best Wishes.

                        Thanks to you all for the feedback. Tthe drag and drop option, I was not aware of that
                        being available.
                        Basically PA can handle it, but it is not available in shell extension. It would be great
                        if it is in the next upgrade…??

                        Thanks again!

                          it is not available in shell extension

                          @TBGBe:

                          In windows explorer, select the zip files - right click and drag to F:\temp -then select the PowerArchiver options.

                          This is all using windows explorer - so it does use the shell extension. :confused:

                          Or do you mean you want a seperate “context menu” option such as
                          “extract to …\filename” ?

                          Hmm, “other utilities” don’t have it, so maybe it would be another advantage to using PA.

                            It could only be put to the extract to/ window itself, however doing it via d&d is much better solution anyway

                              Where perhaps a browse to folder common dialog pops up? Interesting…

                              I still like TBGBe original suggestion the best. (Wish I would have known about the right-click-drag-n-drop before I started hacking at the registry! - then I would not even have posted my hack that tried (in vein) to reinvent the wheel!) :o

                                Sorry - what I meant to say is that it is available under the RMB, like “Extract to”.
                                It would then have to be named like “Extract to \multiple filenames” (or something
                                similar)

                                Thank you.
