    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Was Power Archiver affected by the WinRAR/.rar vulnerability discovered by ESET researchers recently? Not sure if PA is using their libraries for extraction.

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    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).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 . The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg I know it has non standard quotes in it. However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip. Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it. Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver. When will a fix be implemented?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    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.

      Discount is between 50% and 80%, thus giving you access to Professional version
      for as little as 6.99 USD for 1 license.

      p.s. 80% discount means it costs $6.99 to upgrade to Pro version.

      False. When I try to buy the upgrade, it says I’m eligible for an 80% discount, but it shows the upgrade price as 6.39 EUR, which comes out to about $10.13 USD. I am in the US.

          why are you trying to buy international version? If you need english, you need to get english version.

          Unless you originally purchased International version.

          Pricing is different for both versions, and both get 80% discount compared to their original price.

                  With the discount it would just be rude not to upgrade to Pro.

                    All I’m doing is navigating to https://www.conexware.com/shop/index.php and clicking the “Upgrade” link. There is one and only one such link under the “Available Upgrades” section I see when I go to that page. The product I am eligible for an 80% discount on is shown as “PowerArchiver 2009 Pro with Outlook Plug-in International License”. There is no English-only product shown.

                    It says I bought “PowerArchiver 2003 Personal License”, which is accurate. I still have my email receipt, and it does not say that it is the international version, nor do I know why it would have been. I lived in the US when I placed that order.

                    I also have an email showing the registration code for PA 2007. That email says “As you placed your order for English-only, this code will only work with the English language version of PowerArchiver 2007.”

                    Can you help me?

                      We just figured it out for someone that emailed support - for PA 2001 - 2004 Personal licenses, only store upgrade was International. This was done because then we didnt have English or International so those licenses, when it comes to right to use PA Standard, are international (they can use any language version). In all the rush to finish it up we forgot that the pricing is different.

                      If anyone purchased International upgrade for PA 2001-PA 2004 Personal and wanted English Only, please let us know if you want an refund for that purchase

                      And it has been fixed now for those users.

                      thanks!

                          I am one of those affected by this. No worries though as it was still a good price for the upgrade.

                            Now it shows I am eligible for an 80% discount on the international version, but not the English version. When I click the Upgrade link for the English version, the price shown is $34.95 USD.

                                      try it out and see… Most valuable thing for me would be Burner and Advanced Backup features… FTP Client is not there to replace standalone ftp applications, but an easy way to download, upload backups and whatever else you need to do quickly.

                                      But PA 2009 Standard kicks azz too, and all of the basic compression features are in there.

                                        I have also purchased the upgrade to pro for $6.98 for the English version. I live in Hazlet, NJ. The only feature I can’t use is the Outlook Plugin because I only have Windows Mail, not Outlook. Even after purchasing the upgrade to the Pro version I still don’t have PACL v5.0 in my account.

                                          I like to hear about the continued development of PA and purchased a 2009 Pro Licence (Yay, 80% off ^^) right away.

                                          By the way, changing the international orders to Euro was nifty, very nifty. So I had to pay ~10.14 USD instead of 6.39 USD (or 6.39 EUR instead of 4.03 EUR). I hoped to take a good benefit of the weak USD course, but 10 EUR is not too expensive for this upgrade ^^

                                            Same problem here, still cant see PACL 5 in my account. Or do the PACL 4 Reg-Codes still work?

                                            I like to hear about the continued development of PA and purchased a 2009 Pro Licence (Yay, 80% off ^^) right away.

                                            By the way, changing the international orders to Euro was nifty, very nifty. So I had to pay ~10.14 USD instead of 6.39 USD (or 6.39 EUR instead of 4.03 EUR). I hoped to take a good benefit of the weak USD course, but 10 EUR is not too expensive for this upgrade ^^

                                            PACL5 will be avail. in account once it is out as final.

                                            International versions have had their own pricing for past 3 years, this year we actually lowered it a bit compared to last. But most of us get paid in Euros so low USD is actually very bad for us.
