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:

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.
The history of PA?

As we can see, PA is now coming to 9.25. (9.5 soon!) How was the day when PA was in 1.0 and thereafter? I still remember PA (freeware age) was the archiver installed in my college during my post-secondary study life.
Is there any website providing such information? :D

Click on HISTORY in the menu bar on the left - goes to January 2004.
For full history, read the WHATSNEW.TXT in the PowerArchiver progam directory - this goes back to September 1998 :eek: -
Wow! 1998, quite interesting!

yep, one of the oldest compression utilities these days, after old heavyweights… It was by far the most popular freeware compression utility until 2001 when we went shareware… Come to think of it, that was more than 4 years ago!!!
-
Any difficulty faced when turning into shareware? Any serious protest received? :P

Any serious protest received? :P
Of course not…
Everybody using the free version was fully in support of this change :D
At least until the Forum software at that time crashed and burned :p{Please don’t start that topic again :( }
