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.
Cannot convert archive to .zip, always creates .zipx
-
Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.
Using the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

thanks very much @chrullrich
Reproduced and logged in for fixing -
Should be fixed in the latest release @chrullrich
Thanks for the report! -

Should be fixed in the latest release @chrullrich
Thanks for the report!No new version seems to have been announced and check for updates still says 20.00.62 is the latest version.

@brian-gregory Version 20.00.73 is available.
Version 20.00.73 -
Still not fixed in new version: 20.00.73

@pepg I think it is fixed but you need to change the compression profile for .zip files back to a .zip compatible setting. Go to Options / Configuration and:
and click OK. Does that fix it for you? -
@brian-gregory I have setup the compression profiles - still creates a .zipx file when converting …

Yes, sorry. You are correct.
-
found a fix just select zip in converter and then change method to default then it produces standard zip archives also have to do this to shell extensions should be automatically done they have set zipx as default zip profile on installation.
-
forget my last post it does still create a zipx file but if you take off the x winrar reads it as a standard zip file
-
@davidsplash Yes. I think it is a zipx file and it’s just that many programs will open either type with either extension.
-
@mili when will a proper fix be issued hi is a major fault and very simple to fix.

This post is deleted! -
We tested the conversion to zip in the latest version and it seems to work OK, as in below screenshot
Could you send us a screenshot of the settings in the converter prior to executing the conversion, we will test the same.
Thanks!!
