    End of Powerarchiver

    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.

      we will be sending upgrade offers via email tomorrow so you will see the pricing.

      Have the emails been sent yet?
      If so I’ve not received one. I even looked in my spam folder in case it had been mistakenly flagged as spam and it’s not there either. :(

          @pjb:

          Hi, I was thinking more of the BitDefender portion, as I don’t think that is not included in the download page, within the 9,164 KB file.

          I know that the file on the downloads page goes between Standard and Pro. I have now tested it on my tst pc without a Serial Number thus in Trial mode, it gives all the features of the pro version but noting to do with the BitDefender portion of Toolbox.

          To therefore test BitDefender is it a case of going to the BitDefender site downloading the trial of internet security from there, and then if liking it and wanting to go down the powerarchiver toolbox route, (thereafter purchase of toolbox) entering in the licence code for PowerArchiver Toolbox into that trial of BitDefender?

          Don’t get me wrong I see where the integration seems to be going but I don’t see the BitDefender aspects currently intregarated with the product, such as they are with for Example: Acronis Backup & Security http://www.acronis.co.uk/homecomputing/products/backup-security/ Which integrates BitDefender directly within the product, and one single download.

          Not having a dig etc, just seeking some clarification as the how it integrates with PowerArchiver 2011 or if it (BitDefender) in it’s entirety is a standalone application non intregarated into PowerArchiver 2011 of which the PowerArchiver Toolbox Licence Code actives BitDefender.

          Any clarification greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

          OK. Yes, they are separate products.
          To trial PowerArchiver, download from this site (as you have done).
          To trial Bitdefender, as you say, you can download from their site - the 2011 Internet Security version.

          When/if you’re happy, then purchase the appropriate PowerArchiver license.

          If you go for the Toolbox (including Bitdefender) then
          @spwolf:

          links come in the registration email you get… We have English and German BitDefender IS 2011.

          So I guess you would have to unistall the trail of Bitdefender and use the provided link to install the licensed version.

            @ TBGBe, Thanks for the clarification, that is as I expected. I did try bitdefender when beta testing one of the acronis products, as that was bundled with it. I have now downloaded bitdefender on my test machine to see how it fares :) Thanks.

                          @Spwolf

                          Is the Bitdefender version downloaded with the PA-downloader any different from the BitDefender downloaded directly at their site?

                            It is version customized for us, so it is different to that extent (it shows our support info and downloads updates from our servers).

                                      When I go to my account and click on PowerArchiver Toolbox International - 1 license pack w/ BitDefender then click on upgrade, it shows quantity 2. I know I can change it to 1 but I’m curious why it defaults to 2.

                                        When I go to my account and click on PowerArchiver Toolbox International - 1 license pack w/ BitDefender then click on upgrade, it shows quantity 2. I know I can change it to 1 but I’m curious why it defaults to 2.

                                        you probably had 2 orders previously which can be upgraded to Toolbox?

                                          That makes sense, that’s what it will be.
                                          PA2001 & PA2009 are my purchased licenses so that would account for that.

                                            Oh I dunno about that.
                                            I was promised an email and I’m feeling very neglected not getting one. :p

                                            Me too. :(
