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:

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Problem with PA 2009 and some files created by zip 3.0
-
PA 2009 opens but does not extract the test zip file attached. The file opens just fine with 7-zip, Info-zip’s unzip (beta) and winzip.
attachment_t_3451_0_test.zip -
Works fine for me.:)
-
Doesn’t work for me.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel Core i7 6700HQ @ 2.60GHz
12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz -
Nor for me using GUI or shell but no error message.
Can see filelist inside GUI but view or extract doesn’t work. Test reports all files OK. -
OK. Now it doesn’t work for me too.
I first opened the attached zip file with PA GUI and the file extractet correctly.For few minutes I tried again and I realized, that the extracted file is the zip file that doesn’t work. The file has no ending, so that I don’t tried to open it.
I thought, that the attached zip file was the one that doesn’t work. But it is the file in the zip file.

file is broken zip file that is using zip bzip2 compression not supported by PA 2009. It does not work in 7zip, WR shows error and securezip shows error as well.
Maybe it is due to attachment issues?
In any case, if it is compressed with bzip2 method in zip, it will not work with PA 2009.
-
Yup, it is a bzip2 zip file created by Info-zip zip v3 - we use it to generate these and the corresponding Info-zip unzip 6.0 to unzip these for an in-house app. I can’t open these with PA tho’ - any hope of getting support for these type of files in PA?
-
And here I thought PA could extract anything. ;)
