    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

    Hi,

    From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
    But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.

    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.

      When power archiver runs backup script from task mgr it gives 3 gpf windows for unknown and powarc.exe. It is set on gzip tar. I have edited it repeatedly. When I goto the menu from pa and runit w/ the editor it will run. Worked fine before upgrade. This happened in previous versions. I believe it was related to it getting file type wrong. Since it doesn’t give too much info hard to say. This is on w98 so no real dump.

            Latest version PA. On win98 original w/ updates. Runs fine from wizard, but tries to run from task manager and gpf. Don’t have anything unusual running at time. Only kerio fw. It did this before in on version. Then ran fine. This no install broke it I guess. I will try to down grade to last version I had.

                  Just updated. Here is something else I am seeing. When I go from in pa and edit/run the script I have to go and change it to gzipped tar then file name changes(filename.tar.gz) and I can run it fine, but the filename and gzip settings refuse to stick which may be causing the error. Even when I choose save as default if I open the script it goes back to .tar and the regular tar settings.

                    With the update it finally stuck in pa when editing, but when I run *.pbs script from taskmgr it now gpfs in powerarc.exe. With run once set. How odd. The task is set as c:\path\script.pbs should I change that to make it run better. It may be a previous pa install in the reg somewhere that is messing it up.

                      I don’t know…weird. zip runs fine, but gzip gives gpf. Checked registry couldn’t find anything that jumped at me.

                        Sorry, missed your reply (not ignoring you).

                        zip runs fine, but gzip gives gpf.

                        Still cannot reproduce this.

                        Some things to consider:-
                        Can you activate DR Watson trace ( may help when nothing else is running).

                        Do you know at which point it gpf’s
                        a) Building Filelist
                        b) Compressing TAR
                        c) GZipping

                        I don’t know kerio fw, does it have an Anti-Virus check/scan which “might” influence this?
                        Do you have other tasks running (e.g. Disk Cleanup) which might be deleting the Temp directory?

                          Don’t sweat it. I was just using zip for now. Hadn’t had time to fool with it, but maybe this weekend. Since it doesn’t say. I don’t know when it happens, but it is right when it starts to run. It seems to load then gpf. Active desktop is disabled. I am using 5.5 IE. on this sys. 6.0 on win98 can get clunky. (use FF mostly anyway) I tried using dbugview and didn’t get anything. I did hit on something that has happened before tho. I went back and did a new script adding a folder at a time. I got a few folders added and it was fine. I think it was the my docs folder. Once before I had another desktop folder that triggered this. Might be related to size w/ in the desktop folder or recursive folders, as well. Just thought that the fact that it ran fine w/in PA, but not from taskmgr was odd and w/ tar gzip. I am going to add back all folders incrementally and see if I can isolate it. Kerio has no AV I unloaded other processes, as well. Including w/o AV. Didn’t change anything tho…just upgraded PA. I will let you know what it does.

                          Edit:
                          It appears to gpf’s when it is compiling a filelist. However, nothing is open or running. I tried it this way.

                            gpf’s when it is compiling a filelist.

                            That points to a problem in TAR module. I would check filenames, path/filename lengths and things like non-english characters (Unicode support is not good on Win98).

                            Active desktop is disabled. I am using 5.5 IE. on this sys. 6.0 on win98 can get clunky.

                            We have some differences. I have active desktop enabled (only for Background JPG).
                            I have IE 6 - only because it includes OS updates.
                            I also upgraded OS via the MS update/security CD.

                            use FF mostly anyway

                            I use Opera :cool: - but do have FF installed :p
                            That is for another forum though :D

                            Edit: You did upgrade PA with 9.00.35 ?

                              Yep, here’s the deal. A particularly long shared file path looks to be the problem w/ tar. Removed that: it ran fine. It ran fine before and from w/in PA. Just not from .pbs. I don’t have time stamp or other options selected. I will try 9.00.35 later and see if it works okay. Thanks guys. I have been sending you business. :D
