    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.

      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.

        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.

            But I can download v5b2. Anyway I figured out my PACL4 codes still work with this version, so theres no need to have it in account.

            I allways thought ConeXware is a completly US-based corp until yesterday as I received the update notification for PA 2009. But so it’s fair to pay in EUR (which I have already done). Thanks for the info.

              yeah, it does not make sense to list PACL beta separatly as it is free anyway to licensed users.

              As to the USA, right now >70% of us work from Europe, even though ConeXware, Inc is California based company.

                          As a part of this special limited time offer, all users will get free lifetime upgrades for their new orders.

                          hmm… i’m using pa since version 2002. and my bill states already:

                          1 : 1870PA002 : PowerArchiver 2002 Personal Lifetime License : Licenses : Key

                          so… how long is a lifetime considered to be… :confused:


                          just found that there is the option for the free update at the bottom of the code-list. so cheers and thanks again for the great program.


                          but i think that pa + outlook plugin is more than worth the $7, so i’ll start a new life today :)

                            business customers from PA 2004 got 2 upgrades for free, which is the difference in this offer. Personal license customers always got free lifetime upgrades.

                              I’m a bit confused about the Outlook plug-in and PA 2009.

                              The Outlook plug-in is free for PA 2007 users. But when ordering PA 2009, you have to choose between Standard Edition or Pro Edition with Outlook Plug-in. Does this mean the Outlook plug-in only works with PA 2007 and PA 2009 Pro and not with PA 2009 Standard and thus now the Outlook plug-in became a Pro feature only?

Does this mean the Outlook plug-in only works with PA 2007 and PA 2009 Pro and not with PA 2009 Standard and thus now the Outlook plug-in became a Pro feature only?

                                Robert

                                If you purchased PA 2007 or any previous version of PA, PAOP will work with every version of PA 2009 and every future version of PA.

                                If you purchased PA 2009, PAOP will work with Pro version only.

                                I hope that explains it.

                                thanks!

                                  Hello Everyone,

                                  just to keep everyone updated - final version will be released next week most likely.

                                  We will keep the upgrade discounts for 2 weeks after we release final release. Translations are coming up as well, and will be released as soon as they are done (English and German are done by us, others will be released as they are sent to us).

                                  thanks!

                                      Big thanks to all of our users. Many, many have upgraded to Pro version and liked its features.

                                      As promised, we are extending this special offer for next 2 weeks, it will end October 10th.

                                      Here is new thread created for that offer specifically:
                                      http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3358

                                      As PA 2009 is officially released, this thread will be closed. Translations are coming soon (all should come within month), and of course, this is not end of PA 2009. Those who have been with us for a long time now (10 years!!!) know that we will have at least 4-5 updates before PA 2010, a lot of them being feature updates so please continue writing on wish list and reporting bugs.

                                      We have some pretty big new features planned for next 6 months and you guys WILL LOVE THEM.

                                      Once again thanks everyone!
