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?
Burn Option
-
each time I try to use the ‘Burn’ option the ‘add files’ window starts minimized for me on the taskbar and it takes me several attempts before I can get it into the foreground…
anyone else having this problem? -
I realise now that it’s ‘hanging’ before coming into the foreground…unusual to hang on my system especially with no other programs running or is it PA ‘enumerating’ the drives ?
Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 -
Seems to be working fine on my system.

what kind of media do you have inside? what happens if you do it without media present?
-
tested with blank dvd and also with blank cd and tested without media present…takes between 15 - 20 seconds before it will appear in the foreground with the option to burn
-
so when exactly are you seeing slowness, what exactly do you have to click to get it and where?
thanks!
-
Is the open dialog also slow in other programs?
-
the ‘slowness’ occurs after I’ve clicked on the ‘Burn’ button…tested it again and it took 23 seconds before the add files option appears.
when I click the burn button it shows the box immediately on the taskbar but refuses to open until the time elapses.
-
it is importing session data right away, thats why it is sometimes slow to start.
-
slow….23 seconds slow…something I have to live with then even on my fast system…god help anyone on a slow system.
-
i dont think it has anything to do with how fast the system is, probably combination of dvd drive and media and burner.
we got two reports of this in the same week, and never got it before. It should be exactly the same as in PA 2009.
I will get some info on how to turn on debugging tomorrow so you can send over the logs.
