    Thanks.

    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.

          thats not a good thread to look at and I dont want to bring it up by responding there. Basically we have to re-write shell extensions in 64bit and then they should work. When we get time, we will check it out and see if it works.

          Problem is that Win64 does not support 32bit shell extensions, and hence they wont/dont work…

              That means, x64 support is far away? You gave the same answer for sfx support, but in the last four years you didn’t find time to update the sfx support. It seems that the only way to get x64 support is to use another archiver. :(

                Interesting, we certainly did update PowerArchiver over the years, did we not? :-). Of course, feel free to use any software you wish to use. As I said, we will check it out once we have time (since 9.5 is priority), if we can get it to work, great.

                  Yes, of course you did. But some users are still waiting for self-decrypting .pae files. ;)

                  But I think it’s not only done with rewriting the shell extension. Even a 64bit shell extension has to check if the right-clicked file is an archive. So you have also to move your archiver libraries to 64bit too.

                    Could you make 1 shell extension work in x64. It only has to work in the alphas. It doesn’t have to be in the final. I would like The extract to folder (name)

                    Is very annoying to have to work from with in main window to extract….

                    Thanx…

                      Hi!

                      I hope 64 bit support will be available for PowerArchiver too soon.

                      I understand that it involves some work to convert it, but I think you guys will make more and more people very happy with this. A very good way to go ahead of the competition!

                      Besides converting the whole application to something 64 bit, I think it is possible to use the simple context menu options really simple with the use of command line switches. I know some people fixed it for WinRAR as you can see in this forum: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=311399&pid=585832076&st=0.

                      Could you please instruct us Windows XP x64 people how to do such thing for PowerArchiver?

                      Thanks in advance!

                        The shell extension / context menu items of PowerArchiver are accessible from the 32-bits version of Windows Explorer by using the workaround described on http://www.extended64.com/blogs/bhpaddock/archive/2005/05/22/539.aspx.

                        I do not know the exact implications from this, but it is usefull for tools like PowerArchiver, TortoiseCVS and others.

                          Hopefully we will check it out soon enough so we can see if it is possible for it to work properly under 64bit…

                          thanks for the tip.

                            Any plans already to release a version with support for Windows XP 64-bit?

                            There is a lot of talking about it on PlanetAMD. I am sure you win some new customers if
                            64 bit support is implemented. WinZip doesn’t got it yet (but something called Squeez does). I only don’t want all that other stuff, I want Powerarchiver!

                                      By the way, as I’m new to the forum I must say this: PA 9.x rocks … ;)

                                                            what do you want?

                                                            I have a english Windows…

                                                            I also installed winrar. Maybe that’s the problem.

                                                              You have english Windows X64, build … And you are running AMD…?
                                                              etc, etc… And after installation, you do not get any shell extensions for PA? (quick check if they are on in the config?).

                                                              thanks,

                                                                Do you want me to check some reg keys ?

                                                                  ok, so you WinXp x64 users - make sure PA installs under Program Files and not Program Files (x86). Windows will not let shell extensions to run from x86 folder!

                                                                  This is only valid for people who had already installed PA on the computer so PA’s installation will look at last installation folder. New installations will go into “64bit” Program files by default.

                                                                  thanks!
