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.
Add files without replacing the path
-
I have a file called test.test (for example) in the .tar archive that extracts to C:\test
I have updated the test.test file and want to re-add it to the archive , but whenever I add the file it replaces the path.
How can I replace the file but keep the same path?

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to do or where the problem is.
I have a file called test.test (for example) in the .tar archive
So you create a .tar file Brad2.tar from test.test - correct?
How do you do this?that extracts to C:\test
I don’t understand this, do you mean you activated “Store full path” instead of “store relative path” or something else such as creating a self extracting file??
I have updated the test.test file and want to re-add it to the archive , but whenever I add the file it replaces the path.
How are you trying to “re-add it to the archive”??
What do you mean by “it replaces the path” from what to what??Step by step (click by click) or screenshots/example archives please.

ill try to make it simpler.
I have a archive called brad.tar.gz
inside the archive are several files that look like this:
NAME TYPE MODIFIED PATH
admin.php php file 5/5/2005 C:\data\data2
config.php php file 5/5/2005 C:\data\data2therfore if I extract the archive it will place the admin.php file and config.php file in the C:\data\data2 directory. Am I clear so far?
Now I updated the config.php file and I want to add it back to the brad.tar.gz file so taht the archive contains the updated config.php file, but i do not want to replace the path.
My problem is that when I add the config.php file back to the brad.tar.gz archive it looks like this:
NAME TYPE MODIFIED PATH
admin.php php file 5/5/2005 C:\data\data2
config.php php file 5/5/2005therfor when i extract it, the file gets extracted to whatever directory i am in and not the c:\data\data2 directory.
Hope that makes more sense.

So the gz file was created with option “Store full path” - OK
when I add the config.php file back to the brad.tar.gz archive
How?
If I open a .tar.gz file in PA.
Drag modified file from windows explorer and drop onto PA window - I get Add/Replace dialog and can verify that “Store full path” is still selected. Then it stores new file with path information as before.
