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
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
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?
10.20.04 - Config Error!

Regardless which skin you are using (I Default Silver Ribbon)
1. Open PA
2. Option’s - “Configuration”
3. Within “View” click “OK”
4. Click “Configuration” again then go through each tab one by one click ok after select.Miscellaneous “OK”, Folders “OK”, FTP Profiles “OK”, Location “OK”…
After Locations my PA locks up and I can’t click the OK Button anymore!
Also regardless of this if you open PA click Configuiration then select “File Formats” the OK button just doesnt work I can’t exit the screen without Selecting the cancel button.
Windows XP Pro SP2

I can confirm on XP Pro SP2.
On viewing Process Explorer, PA was using 98% CPU at this point.Oddly enough it works fine on XP Home SP2 machine.

LuxorWhich is concirning as if you have this issue using a final version and not a beta it must mean it has been around for a while.
Don’t ask what urged me to click ok on each menu I just felt like it. :D
The joy’s of being part of the Alpha testing team i suppose :)

Cheers Luxor,
I don’t use home just XP Pro SP2 both for work and plesure. But i’m glad Home doesnt have any issues.
Is anyone else able to replicate this issue with the latest beta?? within any OS including Vista?
-
Tested with Vista.
First test, everything worked fine until I got to the location folder and then the ok button quit working. Cancelled and closed PA.
Second test, got all the way to Locations folder, this time OK button worked, but PA then froze, Vista window popped up saying program not responding and closed the PA program.
-
Vista as well,
sweet
:D
Thanks for the confirmation amh209. Quick question? what Vista was it??
-
Home Edition, using PA 10 beta 2. I need to download beta 3 and try it, will have to wait until this evening, have to head to work now.
-
Cheers amg209, Have a good day.
-
probably been there for a while
-
I did some changes in saving/loading options where were some memory leaks which probably some of them were connected with this issue so please check with 10.20.05 when it comes out. Thanks!
-
Cheers Ivan,
Do you know when that will be posted? and will it be a public beta release ie on the download page?
-

-
Just cheked with beta 3 and it appears to be fixed in the Vista version.
-
