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.

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/

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Problem storing path
-
I am having problems storing the path for files in subfolders. I have set the option “use normal relative path” in configuration/misc. I also set “Store relative paths” in the Selection tab of the Add window. I click the “Add File…” button, then select files from various subfolders. When the files are added, I am getting either no path stored, or the full path stored. This behavior has occurred with v10.11 and with v10.20.02 that I just installed. Do you have any suggestions?
-
relative path means relative to the folder you are adding files from. What is considered “root” folder is not being stored, but every other folder beneath it in the folder tree will be stored.
So if you add file from:
C:\test\test2.txtthat file will have no path at all.
However if you add:
C:\test.txt
C:\test\test2.txtthen test2.txt will have relative path stored as test.
Is this what you are experiencing?

Suppose I have opened the window “Browse for Files to Add” in folder My Documents\jeff\A, which contains several files, and two subfolders B and C. I select all the files in A, and also select subfolders B and C. When I click the “Finish” button, one of two things happens: 1) all the files from folders A, B, and C are stored in my zip file, with no indication of path, even for folders B and C, or 2) all the files are stored with absolute paths, e.g, “Documents and Settings\jeff\A”, “Documents and Settings\jeff\A\B”, etc. I am not sure what causes either 1) or 2) to occur. I can see no pattern.
However, if I drag and drop all the files and folders in A to the window in “Browse for Files to Add”, everything works as you would think, i.e., the files in A have no path indicated, and the files in subfolders B and C have the relative paths B and C as they should.
For the time being, I can use the drag and drop method. I only tried that after my first post. I have been using computers since long before GUIs were available, and I normally prefer the command line, or something similar, just because of past experience.
Thanks again for any help.

Hi,
how are you creating those files? And what compression?
Can you outline step by step exactly what you do so we can try to reproduce it. I tried it now and everything seems to work just fine, so it might be specific.
thank you!

This weekend, I will give you a real example, step by step. I am working 12 hour days right now, so I can’t do much until the weekend. Thanks for your help and patience.
