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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/

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 Cannot compress big files to .PA archives

You cannot compress big files (tested with a file bigger than 330MB) into .PA format unless you start PowerArchiver with Admin rights.
Otherwise, this error is shown:
If you compress a small file (say 8MB), then the .PA archive is created without issues.
I’m not sure what file sizes hit these ‘small’ and ‘large’ file limits.
Repeat the same test, but instead of creating a .PA file, create a .7z file instead.
You’ll notice that both the large and small archive is created without any issues.

hey, i dont think it has anything to do with admin rights, rather issue is 32bit OS and too much memory needed that PA at 32bit can not address.
Can you tell us what settings for compression are you using? We have many limits on 32bit systems but we maybe did not get it right.
thanks!

but generally, lower down your thread count and compression strenght… @Mili will check if somehow on protable version we have this issue where we dont lower it automatically.
-
initial test showed no error, but we are still testing. Could you let us know what settings you used when compressing to PA? We’d like to test with those exact settings.
Thanks! -
Method: Optimize Strong
Compression: Extreme
Threads: 2 (Automatic = UNCHECKED)
Add to queue: UNCHECKED
Low priority: UNCHECKEDI shouldn’t have to lower compression settings.
PowerArchiver should adjust to the memory I have available.
