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.

this works for me in the newest alpha 11

File size was about 170 MB, ca. 9000 files, frees space about 11 GB
Im’m using PowerArchiver 9.2 on XP SP2.
There was no message indicating any error. It just didn’t work.I attached part of the file list.
And a screenshot what I did (sorry it’s german UI).After clicking delete - a dialog apears - select files - OK
then there is some processing …
and finally the folders are still thereBTW: Today I discovered that the folders I delete are only visible in explorer style view.

Today I discovered that the folders I delete are only visible in explorer style view.
Strange, from the snippet.txt they are not empty and so should be visible in Classic view (enable View details) - under “path” just like in the txt file.

what I meant is that the explorer view show’s all subfolders of the current folder on top of the files. The classic view doesn’t show folders only.
See my screenshot.gif from above post in the right pane, folders are from _spec to zlib, files are _clear.bat and below.It seems that PA is doing search and delete but doesn’t find anything for sqlite3.0.8/* sqlite3.1.6/*.
Whole processing takes some minutes.While repeating this step I had another idea:
Show a summery of how many files added/deleted/updated after processing in status bar. -
Deleting folders doesn’t work if more than one folder is selected in a zip file.
I have tried some tests of this in PA 9.20.
Using either Explorer or Classic view, the folder contents/files are deleted but the folders themselves are not.
I think the problem is caused by folder names with ‘.’ characters as when I renamed the folders (before creating the zip file) then deleting folders worked.
@klumy:this works for me in the newest alpha 11
So will be fixed in next version of PA (when it’s ready).
BTW: Today I discovered that the folders I delete are only visible in explorer style view …… The classic view doesn’t show folders only.
Classic view doesn’t show folders at all - it only shows the files with pathnames. I thought you were saying the path names were not shown.
