    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.

        Now it prompts on every extract to agree to the terms.

        And it does not queue.

          yeah, free version doesnt have queue…

          … what is supposed to happen is it should add files over 20 MB to the PAStarter Queue (you can see it there), and execute them sequentially (so no 10 at once, only 1 by 1).

            It wasn’t queuing anyway.

            And after I adjusted the minimum size from 20mb to 9mb, it doesn’t work from the prompt. It asks me twice to agree to the terms, then nothing.

                The REGISTERED version does NOT queue from command line calls.

                The program is buggy and should be free until it is out of alpha.

                  command line is not officially supported ever since PACL was out, which is why we did not test it forever now :-).

                  But we could add support in upcoming PA 2011.

                    Also make the cancel confirmation be “are you sure you want to cancel” instead of “do you really want to continue” because you are doing the reverse of the norm, which is irritating.

                    And don’t leave behind partially extracted files, which is the current default. This makes it look like the file was extracted when it really was not. This is probably an option, IDK and IDK, it should not be this way by default.

                    And finally, the options/conf buttons are arranged OK,CANCEL,HELP. This should be HELP,CANCEL,OK. Of course, you probably wont do this, but then I probably wont pay for such a mess.

                      for any other suggestions, please open an thread in wishlist forums, so other users can see it and tell us what they think about it. One wish per thread please.

                      My opinions:

                      • We cant really change order of buttons unless many users confirm they want it. Not to mention that I have just checked 3 other popular compression utilities and none of them have it in order you want (2 of them are same as PA and 1 is different)
                      • We have “continue” instead of “cancel” on purpose. This is because most users click on Yes automatically, without even reading the prompt and that may lead to accidental loss of data if they are overwriting something.

                      And please keep in mind we have stopped supporting command line in PowerArchiver 7-8 years ago. We just did not want to remove it completely in case someone was using it. If we add support for queue, it will be solely for your use as nobody has ever requested that.
