    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’m just hoping they can figure out that bug where RC4 triggers UAC when opening, but still opens even after I deny it (3 times) before a final version. I seem to be the only one with this issue though, at least among the posters here. No, I didn’t post it- I used email when I didn’t remember my password. As you can see I finally figured it out. ;)

        Hopefully they will! but even if they can’t make it before final with Patchbeam it could be “patched” under 3 seconds when they find the fix :D.

        But I understand how frustrating it is when you want things to work before final…
        I’ve been nagging the developers for FTP, Ribbon changes, Configuration enhancements.

        Guido Nags whenever he spots any detail that doesn’t act or look as it should hense why PA is so pretty ;)

        Moles42 & luxor have been pushing for other areas such as Backup & Burner and issues with Virtual driver support etc

        One happy family…

        Keep posting the forums Qun Mang we do read them! Honeslty!

          it is always problem when we cant reproduce it, i know support has been trying to replicate the issue.

                    we found the issue, not the fix yet… it happens onlx on 64bit, and what happens is that admin account gets the associations.

                              I think this version of PowerArchiver has taken longer than anticipated because of all its features.

                              Most if not all of the Alpha team have been helping for months picking out the bugs and suggesting new features or backing requested features… and the poor developers have had at times to grin and bare it.

                              However, I rather a working, stable and reliable piece of software reach our user base by release than let existing and prospects down due to rushing it.

                              I suppose there would be no harm if we left 2011 and released it in December as 2012… there is now law to suggest developers have to bring out new versions each year. :)

                              I’ve been working on a new menu system and database at work for the past 2 years and many of the features i bring out are tested by a small team i select but it is down to me as the developer to decide if all the work should be produced at a specific time.

                                we finished work for final release this week, so unless we have something major, we have final… just need to finish up the new website.

                                since there was long delay between 2010 and 2011 (major versions, we issued many updates with new features), we will probably do 2012 much sooner - like in very early 2012, with new format :-)

                                  obviosly powerarchiver app is important to me but ive been working with it since early days :)
