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?
CRC error when out of space
-
When I try to extract a multi-part RAR file (i.e. r01, r02) to a drive that runs out of space during extraction, PowerArchiver reports a CRC error in the part that it is extracting from when the drive runs out of space… freeing up space and re-attempting extraction works fine with no CRC errors.
This has been going on for awhile because I’ve had it happen before with earlier versions. Is it a known problem?
Thanks.
-
So what’s the problem? PowerArchiver reports an error because there is no enough space and so it is not possible to restore the original file there.
-
But it doesn’t report an error saying that there’s no space left. It says there’s a CRC error in the file it’s extracting when space runs out when that’s not the real problem.
-
it is general error that says many things, including crc and lack of space, right? :-).
we will see if we can be more specific, thanks.
-
No, the error expliticly mentions a CRC error and only a CRC error.
The exact text is as follows, in a dialog with a red X icon:
“There is a CRC error on file:<file being=”" extracted=“” from=“” multi-part=“” rar=“”>
Volume:<part being=“” extracted=“” when=“” out=“” of=“” space=“”>Continue?"
…with Yes/No buttons.
If I then try and extract the same file to a drive that has enough space, it succeeds without any problems.</part></file>

great, we will see if we can improve it… thanks!

This problem has been bugging me for a long time now. CRC error implies that the archive is corrupt and not “not enough space”. To get rid of this problem just check if there’s enough space on the drive for all the files in the archive…and warn user if there’s not enough space. Since every type of archive doesn’t contain extracted file sizes you can do a “free space” check right before poping up the error message and decide on what message to display. That’s VERY easy to code… :cool:
-
it was wrong error shown, it will be fixed, i think it is in internal versions.

please check with official beta 1, and let us know if this has been fixed… thank you!
