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).
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.
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

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?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
PowerArchiver 2010 crashing when hitting "No To All"
-
I have a set of 1-25 RAR files and if I start to unzip them and the “Confirm File Overwrite” window popups and I click “No To All” then hit cancel PowerArchiver 2010 freezes and then crashes.
I am running Windows 7 64 Bit and PowerArchiver 2010 Build 11.62.04.
Is this a known bug and will it or can it be fixed?
I tested the same rar files with WinRaR and no freezing or crashing with WinRAR.
-
Update!!
I do not even need to click cancel.
As soon as I click “No To All” PowerArchiver 2010 crashes and says Not Responding!
-
Another update!
It does not freeze and crash on small Archives only on big Archivers. How big? I don’t know but the current Archive size that is crashing is 4.40GB 25 part rar files.
Hope this info helps.
-
This was not an known issue.
Does it happen with different set of rar archives as well? To make sure it is not due to one of the filenames.
thank you!
-
i am thinking it might not be crashing… just has no progress to report possibly and then that looks like it is stuck.
It might be actually extracting all the files, and not just using file name to decide if not to overwrite it. I will check with devs and let you know.
thanks,

Ok I just downloaded a different set of Rar files with 23 parts 6.49GB total and once again when I clicked “No To All” PowerArchiver crashed!
Its seem PowerArchiver has an issue when there are lots of rar files.
I will upload a video to show you what is happening.
This has got to be a bug.

Here is the video http://rapidshare.com/files/394157862/BUG.avi

just try it again and dont touch it for few minutes… see if it goes away gracefully.

Ok I did what you said and it went away on its own after almost 5 Minutes! :(
Doing the samething with WinRar takes like 2 seconds!
Is this something that can or will be fixed?

it extracts the files, hence taking it long… I will see with devs if there is an reason for that.
