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 everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
New version:
PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.00.10:
Download:
https://u.powerarchiver.com/pa2023/powarc220010.exe
New build for some bug fixes and issues - full list to come with new update. Please test and see if you have any issues.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.
PA 22.00.09

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.

Some labels in the help toolbar are not translated:

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?
Single click

hi,
1 - single click doesn’t work here, as it used to work before !
2- when you work on directories, to open files you want to access, the toolbar turns to grey, until the file is well opened ! at that time it becomes effective again !
3- could it be possible that when opening PA, we could start with something else than the “start” directory ?
sorry for the english.
bye

Sorry, I don’t understand. What do you mean by “Single Click”?
@phil:2- when you work on directories, to open files you want to access, the toolbar turns to grey, until the file is well opened ! at that time it becomes effective again !
Yes, while opening the archive, PA is “busy”.

hi, and thank you
instead of clicking twice to open a file in the archive, i choosed to click once, in the options… that doesn’t work, i must click twice…
i know how to choose the start directory, i meant when opening PA, the “start” directory is highlighted… can i choose another directory, for example “my docs” ?
thank you

Turn on View> As a Web page option to enable one click actions.

hi,
i’m used a bit with PA, and that’s already done !
the version before was OK with that…
thx
-
hm, I checked it with as a web page option in French release, and it works. Where exactly it doesnt work? Inside of archives or?
thanks!

If I set the folder options to
Folder: C:\Documents and Settings\TBGBe\My Documents\Then that folder is highlighted when starting PA (in explorer view). Is that not what you want :confused:

hi,
my settings :
- explorer view
- like a web page
so :
on the left of the screen, i got all of “my computer”, with all the contents (C:, D:, etc.)
if i click on D:, for example, it opens all the files that should open with a single click… but doesn’t work here, and the whole line selection doesn’t either…
don’t understand why…
-
sorry, my head’s off
it does work well when i work on an archive
i’ve got the habit to singleclick into Windows Explorer on any kind of files, so i was waiting to do the same into PA!
sorry again
