    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

    Security vulnerabilities in 7zip / Update for PowerArchiver and PACL libraries?
    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.

      I have a “USB2.0” DVD-RW drive with a blank 700MB CD-R inserted.
      Windows 10 sees in just fine explorer and it’s usable, and works.
      However it is not showing in any dropdown in PowerArchiver.

      Thanks for any help…

        Okay well DVD+R works fine, just not CD-R with PowerArchiver Maybe it’s the disks that aren’t compatible. “Sony CD-R 700MB Supremas” Windows is able format the disk, I have tried not doing any formatting, and I have also tried formatting. Maybe I need CD+R

        No big deal, the the disks are not even usable at all on another PC with SATA DVD SuperWrite Master…

        So I believe it’s the disks, I have had them for at least 20 years.

          Update: the drive is listed as reading and writing all types of disks.
          Lite-On EBAU108 External DVD-Writer “EBAU108-11 (6)”

          Just wanted to add that.

          So still not sure of the issue, seems I had this issue before in the past.

            Update: I have tested the DVD-RW drive on 2 other computers running windows 10 20H2 & 21H1 and burning the ISO to disc using Windows built in utility (Not PA) worked fine (PA is NOT installed)
            PowerArchiver is not installed on either of them.

            However I tested on a 4th computer Windows 10 20H2 (PA is not installed on) however I have installed PA Portable on that PC.
            I had the same issue not able to burn ISO to Disc using Windows built in utility or PA Portable.

            So far where PowerArchiver is present I cannot burn ISO to Disc.

            I was able to get my discs made though.

            Still trying to figure it out.

              Verified: Uninstalling PowerArchiver from the system solved the issue.
              I can now burn ISO files to the DVD-RW / CD-R Disc.
