    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 there,

    there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:

    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.

      I created a 7z archive with an arabic filename which is correctly displayed in the explorer view (and in the file open dialog box) but if I try to open it PA only shows a filename with questions marks without the archive content.

        PowerArchiver currently does not support unicode archive names, you would have to include non unicode support in Windows for that archive to work, while unicode filenames in the archive are properly supported since version 9.0 in both 7zip and RAR (which are two formats in PA that currently support UNICODE).

        thanks,

          If you use the context menu’s “Extract…” in WinRAR, this archive will extract correctly.
          It you use the context menu’s “Extract…” in PA9, it will not extract correctly.
          You “can” extract the files by going into PA9, selecting them all and choosing Extract but the context menu should work as well as it does in WinRAR.

          Thanks.

                Thanks for addressing this issue.

                Here are the current results with your newset version…

                Using the test archive in my previous post, the folder/file structure should be:

                
                [b]BadExtractTo[/b]
                  ??????.txt
                  ??????.txt
                  ??????.txt
                  [b]exefile[/b]
                    NOTEPAD.EXE
                  [b]textfile[/b]
                    ??????.txt 
                
                

                The first part of the current issue is that a dialog box appears regardless of which shell “Extract” function is used which will ask “Confirm overwrite?” for the other two text files which share the root folder. If you choose no for both confirmations, only the first file in the root folder gets created. If you choose yes for both, all three files get created.

                The second issue is when you choose the “Extract To <foldername>” shell function. It not only creates the proper folder/file structure, but also creates a duplicate “textfile” folder outside that structure as well.

                Thanks.</foldername>

                  Hello!

                  The second issue with duplicate “textfile” folder in archive’s folder will be fixed in next version.

                  The issue with overwrite dialog will not be fixed because currently our overwrite dialog doesn’t detects existing unicode filenames - as you can see all files are shown as “???.txt” which is same for checking non-unicode existing filenames.

                  We will take care of this issue for next version - 9.1.
