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?
FTP - suggestion and question
-
Silly question and a suggestion.
I have never used your FTP before.
I am not having much luck now. And, unless I am misreading the help file, it doesn’t give me the guidance I need,.
I keep running a PBS with an FTP setting, and it keeps copying the file into the root FTP directory.
I tried – I thought – every possible combination of language for the destination directory and the default directory.
Suppose the base directory is called “root”?
What’s the proper syntax for the subdirectory?
And do I enter the same info for both destination and default folder?
I am sure there is a permutation I missed. But after 45 minutes . . .
The suggestion.
The password in the FTP window is visible. I would prefer it were it invisible.
-
base folder is folder that you enter when you first login to the ftp… what did you try entering there?
I think we need “browse” button which logins to the ftp and offers you easy to use folder selection :-).
-
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work either. Maybe there is something odd about my server.
Let me explore that.

tell us what is your root folder and what is your desired folder, i will write you what destination folder entry should be…
root folder is the one you start with when you login to the ftp.
-
Turns out I had to leave the default folder blank.
Odd.
But that’s what it took to get to this server.
Thanks.
I like your idea for a browse button.
I also would urge that the password be made invisible on the FTP page.
And while I have you. (1) I gather the correct PB version number will show up tomorrow. Correct? (2) Neither PAOP nor the Star Drivers (Virtual Disk) show up in my list within PB. Have I done something incorrectly?
-
- Correct PB version number?
- Virtual Drive needs to be downloaded - go to the Burner, click on Virtual Drive and it will download and install. Once they are installed, you will have it on your Patchbeam list.
- PAOP is not updated via Patchbeam yet. We will add it once new major PAOP version comes out towards end of the year.
-
PAOP – 2.03, which is latest I could find.
Sorry. I thought PAOP showed up in 2010 with PB. And I thought you all had talked about PB being updated when PA 2011 appeared.
Thanks.
-
PAOP – 2.03, which is latest I could find.
Yes, that’s it.
@Socrates:Sorry. I thought PAOP showed up in 2010 with PB.
No, it didn’t.
@Socrates:And I thought you all had talked about PB being updated when PA 2011 appeared.
Thanks.
Yes, but PA2011 has now appeared - the RC has the latest Patchbeam currently available.
-
I would totally also like to request that the FTP password not be in plain text on the FTP tab. It’s stared on the profile page but in plain view when connecting or on the tab. Has this been changed in a newer version coming?
-
it will be done before Final for sure… we have to wait for this a bit.
-
Awesome, thanks!
