    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.

      @Brian-Gregory said in PA 2019 register type associations everytime.:

      When I upgraded from .41 to .43 using patch beam the prompt to associate came back and would not go away until I ticked the box to say not to ask again.

      that is super annoying.

      Do you have patience to uncheck some of the associations in associate window so we can figure out what association causes it?

      thank you!

            hello @wroustan
            in .45 we made a fix for a bug with associations, the fix is also in .46 and you may download it here:
            https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190046.exe

            Is it any better with .46?

                If you don’t mind, please send over your reg settings, zipped, to support at conexware dot com
                We will apply them and see if we can reproduce it now that it’s happening again.

                You can export your reg settings from the Configuration button dropdown, save settings to, save settings to file.

                thanks for your help!

                    Thanks very much!
                    We have implemented the sent reg file which imported your exact settings. Unfortunately, the issue did not reproduce.
                    Could you tell us what other software you might have installed that handles the same files/archives as does PowerArchiver?
                    There might be an issue with a specific program that is taking over associations that PowerArchiver might not be handling properly.
                    Please let us know.

                    Thanks again!

                      Hello,
                      In order to answer to your question, no other software handling the same files as PowerArchiver.
                      Interesting point:
                      If I install PowerArchiver 2018 : everything is fine
                      If I install PowerArchiver 2019 the problem exists
                      PS: I have installed the latest version of PowerArchiver 2019.

                      Thank you

                        @wroustan can you please send us this complete key:
                        Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

                        just make sure you compress it with .pa format first, so it gets to reasonable size.

                        That way we check with your own associations and see which one is causing the issue. I tried various ways of associating with both PA 2018 and PA 2019 and couldnt get them to misbehave.

                        thank you!

                                      @Merowinger That’s where you end up when the file doesn’t exist.
                                      I did download that file while it still existed so I can tell that what they have done is delete the original powarc190047.exe and rennamed powarc190047-1.exe as powarc190047.exe.
                                      So if you redownload https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190047.exe you’ll probably get the file you’re after.
