    Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Windows 11 bug in PA 22.00.09
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    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

    Hi there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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?

    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.

        @pepg said in Compression Profiles to Default …:

        Is there any way to reset the compression profiles back to install default??

        I would have a solution to this :) I have created 2 registry files with which settings can be reset to “default”, I do not know if I am allowed to share files here? I also assume no liability for damages of any kind :) Even if the script should be “Safe”! If I am given permission, I can upload the file to my google Drive and share here. Is this allowed in this forum? I have also written a “read me” txt file with instructions, to use :)

        With the script you can

        1. set only the “compression profiles” to default
        2. set all settings to default

        It’s pretty simple, but effective and it should be followed the instructions in the “Readme”!
        Otherwise there is the possibility that it does not work!

        Therefore I ask if I may share these files here? they are 100% self-written! :)

            What you can do is click on Options>Set Defaults.
            That will revert PowerArchiver to installation settings and set the Compression Profiles to default. However, it delete all of your manually created compression profiles and reset all other PowerArchiver settings to installation default.

            @Konglomat
            I guess posting the two reg files would work as they could help someone in need. They would have to contain only the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiverInt\Profiles] key information and none other, as it could conflict with other settings, including registration.
            You can send them to me in a private message, we will check them out just to be safe and then can then post them. Thanks for your help!

                Can you help me with more info on customizing that registry key’s values.

                I would like to change the default “PA Default”'s values, so I do not have to tick extra options that I have to do everytime, and I can use the shell extension’s shortcut to create archive, saving my time.

                  Absolutely, which ones are you looking to edit?
                  I will ask the devs today where they are located.

                    But I thought to modify the values, you can simply go to “Settings -> Compression Profiles”.
                    To modify the default options for PA modify “ShellExt: PA Default”.

                    No need to mess with the Registry?
                    Isn’t it the case?

                      Correct, the main compression profile section in Configuration allows for editing the default compression options.
                      I am assuming that @godlydevils would like to edit some of the additional options available for the PA format.

                        Hi @godlydevils

                        I have checked and the additional options for the PA profile are located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiverInt\Profiles
                        As you’ll see there are tons of values there without an easy way to detect which is which.
                        We also discussed additional options being saved in a custom compression profile, so that you will be able to save the additional options along with the default ones. That may help a bit.

                        Also, let me know which options you would like changed and I will also check if I can detect which values those are by comparing the changed values, in Beyond Compare or similar software.

                        Thanks!

                          Hi Mili,

                          I wish to completely customize the default PA profile.

                          so whenever I start archive from shell, i do not have to go to advanced options and customize the plzma(size and entropy model), zstandard(levels & size), ppmd_sh(sizes) options.

                          not having to select zlib level, dictonary size, method optimize strong, compression level extreme.

                          there are various options that I would like to modify for the “PA Default” profile so I do not have to create any new profile.
