    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

    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.

        So far my testing shows that this seems to all be fixed in the new PA 22.00.09 from your main site.

              Hey Brian,

              Thanks for the details! I’ve tested and confirmed that the UAC and error reporting occurs when testing from the main PowerArchiver interface, when testing through shell it seems fine.

              Logged in for fixing, many thanks again!

                    Testing with the shell with 22.00.08 is a disaster.
                    All the files get extracted to the current directory as if you had chosen extract here.
                    Took me ages to clean up the mess, work out what was supposed to be where.

                      @brian-gregory I’m seeing this with .pa test from Shell on 22.00.06. The archive tests OK, but every file in it has been extracted to the same folder as the archive.

                      There seems to be no way from any settings or configuration to change this.

                        @Mili @spwolf Is this logged in too?

                        How about releasing the first new fix this year?

                          hey @brian-gregory,

                          I’ve attempted to reproduce this with a sample archive but did not get the extraction of files to folder. Tried testing via shell and main PA.

                          Does it happen to all archives or certain ones?

                          Could you please send a sample archive where you can reproduce to me at support at conexware dot com and I will take a look to reproduce it. Certainly would like to fix it for the next update.

                          Thanks for your help!

                            All .PA archives I think.

                            My PA settings linked here

                            Right-click the PA file and choose “PowerArchiver” then on sub menu choose “Test”.
                            The PA archive gets extracted to the directory containing it.
                            I am running PA 22.00.08 on Windows 7 64 bit.

                              thanks very much @brian-gregory

                              I see now, it occurs when testing 7z and PA archives via shell.
                              Logged in and Ivan should fix it for the future update.

                              thanks for your continued help!
