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 extract Canterbury Corpus
-
I downloaded the corpus files from http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/corpus/descriptions
but using PA 9.20.07 I cannot extract the “cantrbry.tar.gz” testfiles. (the other tar.gz archives extract OK).
Tried PA explorer view (which does display the files inside the archive) and windows explorer context menu.
In both cases I tried to extract to sub-folder “cantrbry”. The folder is created but it is empty. -
Hi,
it seems to work from main PA with explorer view, and extract button usage… what exactly did you try yourself?
thanks,
-
It doesnt seem to work extract to filename/ in explorer, first time you do it, but it works second time. It also works with Extract here, all the time. hmph.
-> it seems to have something with extracting tar file from gz in shell extensions, but seems to work in main PA since tar file is always opened when you open the archive.
thanks,

Yes, extracting just that file works for me now as well.
Strange - maybe related to sequence of operations?
@spwolf:it seems to work from main PA with explorer view, and extract button usage… what exactly did you try yourself?
As I remember, what I did was download all four testfiles and try extracting each into its own subdirectory, “artificial test”, “calgary test”, “canterbury test” and “large test”.
I then compressed each into sperate subdirectory using shell (right click on foldername)Zip plus Options… (Zip, max, deflate64) renaming output Zip file to {foldername} PA.zip
e.g. “artificial test PA.zip” etc.I noticed that “canterbury test PA.zip” wasn’t created, but there was no error message. Tried again - still nothing.
That’s when I checked and saw that the subfolder was empty. Thought it was me, wouldn’t be first time :rolleyes:Deleted subfolder and tried shell extract again. Checked - still no contents.
Deleted subfolder and double clicked to open the tar.gz in PA.
PA showed tar file in folder window and correctly listed all the files.
Used toolbar button to try extract (again to subfolder). Still no contents.
Tried toolbar again. Failed.
Came here to report it.Double hmph…

Heh, I think I know what might be wrong - it is something with gzip extraction in this case from shell ext - and since in main PA it is done differently, people would not notice it. I am sure we will fix it for next release.
thanks!
