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.

Hi @spwolf Came to this a bit later than others, but lifetime select user here, and I’d like to help test the MacOS version please. MBP 15" 2016 w/touchbar 16Gb RAM running Catalina. Do I need a new license number for this? I downloaded from the main download page but it won’t accept my activation code.
Cheers.

is the testing still available? I have a Macbook Air 13" 2015 running on Big Sur

hi guys, please contact us at support at conexware dot com and we’ll sort it out.
thanks!!

Latest version crashes instantly on MacOS 12.0.1 on an M1 MacBook Air. I was prompted to install the Intel Rosetta Translation first (which I did). Hopefully a native M1 (arm) port is in the works.
I sent a copy of the crash log that it wanted to send apple to the support e-mail you typed above.

thanks for letting us know, did it work previously with M1 cpu?

Edit: While the program runs, it won’t open any archives that PA2021 for PC creates and/or opens. I have a few zpaq and a few .pa archives and the zpaq nothing happens and the pa it says it’s not a valid PA file yet it opens and extracts fine on PC.
@spwolf Hi, thanks for getting back. No I am a new customer to the macOS version so I’ve never tried to run PA on macOS or Apple hardware (Intel or Arm).
I’ve downloaded the linked version and it appears to work. It launches and let me start a trial and register it just fine. It even associated with supported formats as well. I’ll test more over the holidays when I can.
I noticed it’s still an Intel app. Will there be plans to port it to arm eventually?
Thanks again!

Hello, by “any”, you mean .pa and .zpaq formats? We do not have same engines in Windows and Mac versions, but we keep adding more and more features. Keep in mind that Windows version has been built over the past 20 years, moving full feature set will take a bit.
There are plans to do arm version in 2022.
thank you!
-
@spwolf Sorry, yes I didn’t test all formats that PA supports, just .pa and .zpaq. I had existing PA2021 archives on a network share that the MacOS version wouldn’t open. I moved them to the Mac’s desktop off the network share and it still didn’t open. They open fine on PC and another app opened the .zpaq archive and tested ok.
I understand PA for MacOS is new, and I’m not upset or disappointed. I’ve been using it on PC for a year or two now and it works great. Glad to help test. :)
-
Hi all. Any updates on an M1 native version or an Intel version that works on M1/M2 Macs?
-
Hi @zebrapower
With PA 2023 first version now being finished, we will start working on the MacOS version as well. I’ll update this topic with any information about m1/m2 support and/or versions to test.
thanks!
