    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.

        It briefly recognized the external drive the first time I used it when I tried the first burning job. After the first burning job didn’t work…it no longer reads the drive for CD/DVD jobs.

        I just wanted to confirm I a similar issue with v11.50.61

        I got to 98% in the burning process, then gave an error (dont recall what it said). Ejected the disk and from that point failed to recognize any blank disk inserted.

        The OS also wouldnt recognize when a blank disk was inserted. Reboot didnt fix it. I had to unplug the drive, boot up into Windows, then plug the drive back in. Now the OS can see the drive and I can burn from the shell. Havent tried it again in PA.

        The file I was burning was a 1 GB ISO image. Vista Business x86 SP1. The drive is a Toshiba H653A.

          So far so good on my end. I need to test it on my external tomorrow before giving it a full thumbs up.

            did you check with your external drive? We just added support for another burning method (SPTD) in PA 2010, in latest preview version. It is actually faster (20% in our tests it might be different) and lets multiple devices use burner at same time (which is problem with other burning methods).

            It is automatically installed once you get latest PAVD update… let us know how it works.

              I just installed the PA 2010 (latest build) today. I’ll test it to see if this works on my external burner.

                make sure you also install latest PAVD…

                  Something is wrong…I get an error dialog box saying “wrong Starburn.dll file”. What’s going on? And what is this PAVD thing you’re referring to?

                    hm, check the dates on files:
                    PABURNTOOLS.EXE
                    Starburn.dll

                    in your PA folder. They should be 7.9.2009 and 13.08.2009 respectivly.

                      Actually I’m reading

                      PABURNTOOLS.EXE as 8.9.2009
                      Starburn.dll as 13.08.2009

                      So in conclusion…I think I’m using an even more updated version of PABURNTOOLS.EXE while Starburn.dll appears incorrect…because it’s not updated for the PaBurnTools.exe date. This is probably why I’m getting the error message when I hit the option VD button.

                            thats is fine, i thought you were getting it in burner because thats what we were talking about previously :)… just do the Web Update via Help, and you will get latest VD drivers which i talked about :-).
