    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.

      The file set is over 32GB, plus this is a VMware image that contains proprietary software. There is no way I could get it to you. I’ll try to come up with a repeatable scenario that causes the problem using smaller and different files, however the problem only seems to show up at the DVD sized split boundary.

        See if you can reproduce the problem using the below steps.

        Download http://www.bertel.de/software/rdfc/rdfc.zip
        Unzip the rdfc.exe file and put it in a temporary directory with at least 37GB of space.
        From the temporary directory, create the test files by running the following commands in order:
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk” 1818
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s001.vmdk” 2146304000
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s002.vmdk” 2145976320
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s003.vmdk” 2139947008
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s004.vmdk” 2141257728
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s005.vmdk” 2145583104
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s006.vmdk” 2138832896
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s007.vmdk” 2140471296
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s008.vmdk” 2137587712
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s009.vmdk” 2135818240
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s010.vmdk” 2144796672
        rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s011.vmdk” 2146172928
        Highlight all the vmdk files, right-click and select parameters per the attached pic.

        I then open the .zip file in Winzip and perform a ‘Test’. I get a CRC error. If you unzip with PA, you should eventually get either a CRC error, an erroneous password prompt, etc.

        Let me know if you have any questions.

                    You can re-download 11.60.12 from our website. Please check it out and see if this solved your issue.
                    We did not have a lot of time to test it out.

                    Thanks!

                      Things are looking good. I tested two large directories that had problems before when zipped/split, but have no problems when zipped/split with the latest PA build. I’ll continue to keep a close watch on new zips going forward and let you know if I see a repeat of the problem.

                      Thanks!
