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.
Problems with (de)compression when minimised to tray ?
-
A couple of times in the past I’ve minimised to the tray during a (de)compression operation and I’m sure the operation never completed. I’ve never reported this problem before because I normally don’t minimise the PA progress dialog (and I’ve been too busy to test it:o).
Has anyone else experienced this problem ?
PS. I will check again, but maybe it’s worth checking/testing for 9.5.
-
yes i have found this but thought it was jsut my computer
-
:rolleyes: It has actually happened to me on three separate occasions. I also thought that it was just my computer and not PA. But now……
-
Does the format used have an impact?
I’ve just tried compressing some avi files (350MB) with both 7z and CAB - both completed OK. -
I was using ZIP when happened to me. Haven’t tested with other formats.
-
Completed OK with ZIP for me when compressing a single file.
See http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3248#post3248
Also worked for BH - hi Charles :p )
-
Once in a while it will hang and not complete when I’m compressing multiple files with cab or 7-zip, but it does not happen every time. I don’t remember it happening with BH, but I’ll test that again later……
-
As Charles says, it doesn’t happen all the time.
One other problem is that the tray icon is blank when first minimized, as shown by the first attached image.
After the progress had been updated (showed 56%), the tray icon was half drawn, as shown by the second attached image.
When the operation completed, the tray icon was updated and correctly drawn.
Related to the other problem with the tooltip percentage staying at 0%, it appears that it is not updated frequently enough. I say this because during a long operation, the percentage was only updated once (ie. 56%)
EDIT: On a different note regarding this forum - How come attached images are not displayed in thread if you attach more than one image ?

The tooltip appears to be updated for each format EXCEPT zip.
This is a “simple” bug… the 7Zip works and that is by far the slowest format which returns control to PA for “progress update”. -

I hadn’t thought of it like that :D

Yes, that is Klumy’s thread
See http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums…p=3248#post3248 -
So does it actually not work sometimes? It never happened to me so if it doesnt work let me know.
As to the icon, yes - it draws as progress bar (partially), and % is also same as in progress bar, that includes zip (which is based on number of files and not actual bytes being compressed).
thanks

Re. my original point, it does work sometimes, but occassionally the (de)compression will not complete when minimised to tray. I haven’t managed reproducible steps yet though.
I would recommend checking the code.

Is it compression or uncompression? Zip or other formats as well? Most of these things are completly unrelated, so it has to be something specific. If it is compression, what happens with the file being compressed?
thanks,
-
It was compression to the ZIP format. All that happened was that the compression operation stoppped and the archive was intact, but incomplete.
I will do some more tests to see if I can reproduce and get back to you with more info.

But in Klumy’s thread
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums…p=3248#post3248The tray icon is “filling up” (even for single file compression) whereas the tooltip always shows 0% :confused:
Here it is off topic so we should follow up on that thread (different “problem”).

Yes, i noticed that later on - i thought it was zip thing that he was talking about. Will check it out.
thanks,
