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
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
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?
PowerArchiver Queue tasks
-
Often I extract multiple archives by selecting all the archives and choose “Extract here”. The task are added to the queue, but often I have “empty” task in the queue. It’s only written “Extract”, but no filename. When the queue execute this task, the extract dialog pops up and the queue is stopped.
It seems like the task is corrupted.
Using Win7 64Bit.
Thanks
Eric -
After futher testing, I assume the error happen when the queue is refreshed after the first task. The tasks are added correctly.
-
Problem known? Need more information? Where is the content of the queue saved? (I got a “EAccessViolation in module pastarter.exe at 0001573F…” after a queue crash, unable to restart pastarter)
Thanks -
PS: Didn’t find an entry under
"HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Queue " -
we will write it up to the issue tracker and check it out for next release… thanks for reporting!
-
Thanks EricSch!
This issue has been logged into our system and I have also added the link to this topic to the report so that we may let you know once it is fixed. -
Any chance that that get fixed once?
In the version 14 I have still the same problem.
It’s annoying because queue up long task and come back later to see that the queue has stopped / or is corrupted. :confused:
Even move up / down works not always for me.Thanks

i will check status of this on monday…
-
how many files and what kind of files are you adding (zip, rar, 7zip, tar, multivolume, etc)? I cant reproduce this, so please send us more info…
-
Last time when it happened, there were 4 files, rar, multivolume, each file total about 1-2GB and the extraction happens on a network drive.
-
maybe it is something in the name of one of the files?
-
No, no special chars, plain ASCII charset
-
so it is not named in 30 characters with dots and - and whatnot what could cause the issue possibly?
-
Yes, perhaps something like that:
battleground.afghanistan.s01e05.720p.hdtv.x264-killers.r06
Shouldn’t give problems?
-
in perfect world no, but we will test with that since all our files worked fine.
there is also unofficial:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2013/powarc140022int.exetry it there, we fixed few other things in queue
-
Happened again. Just to show how the queue looks.
Didn’t try the beta version yet.Thanks
