    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

    Affected by winrar/.rar vulnerability?

    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.

      Btw is it possible to switch back to the file icons of PA 2015? Because I’m used to it and for now I don’t really like the new ones.

        I just found another bug.

        Some archives with the extension .rar, .tar, .zip (maybe files with other extensions as well) don’t have the option “Extract here” in the shell menu although it is set in the configurations. I couldn’t figure out so far why it affects some archives with said extensions and others don’t. And for that archives where the “Extract here” entry is missing, when I click on “Extract to [filename]” the “Open with” dialouge of Windows appears and wants me to choose a program for opening the file, where PA is pre selected.

            Under View, there is Icon Set option, check Original and that will switch back to old icons.

                Here I have 2 .zip files. One has the option “Extract Here”, the other has not. For the one that has the option “Extract here” the files are extracted as intended when click on "Extract to [filename]. For the other just the “Open with” window of Windows comes up.

                    When I try to add a new comment to an archive, or change an existing one, I pull up the Comment box.
                    After saving the Comment, only the Initial letter of the first word of the comment appears. This is whether or not Comments are docked.

                          The problems I mentioned are gone with the new version. But I found another bug. PA seems to have problems with multi volume .rar files (*.part1.rar, *.part2.rar etc.). Whenever I open such a file, PA asks for the next volume even if it exists in the same folder. And it displays the volume name in many chinese characters although there are nothing asian characters in the file or in the file name. To view the archive I just have to click on cancel or on ok for every volume.

                            ah, annoying! Thanks for the report… just to confirm, extract will work fine, both main and shell while error will show only when opening in main PA (but will work fine).

                            We will update once again… let us know if you notice anything else. Thanks!

                                          In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
                                          Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.
