Website ideas

I do like the new website though I would like to have support tap to include in its menu the community forums. As at first I thought you got rid of them until I accidently went to bottom of support form page. It would be nice to have a menu for approved plugins for powerarchiver. I would be willing to test them for you.

Open source

Could powerarchiver be open sourced as I fear it is going to be lost once you decide to stop development on it.

Missing Icons

Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9 [image: 1695053428163-powerarc_2023-09-18_17-00-19.png] [image: 1695053445119-powerarc_2023-09-18_17-01-05.png]

Missing or ugly SFX-Icon

When I create a SFX-file from a zip (not from a 7-Zip) it happens that there is no icon for the file or a really ugly, pixelated icon. [image: 1563693941255-unbenannt-1.jpg]

Windows 11 Shell Extension crash

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

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

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).

BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier

The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue: [image: 1736325038084-screenshot-2025-01-08-082909.png] [image: 1736325038147-screenshot-2025-01-08-082935.png] [image: 1736325038176-screenshot-2025-01-08-082953.png] Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 OS build 26100.2605

No Icons for SFX-Archives

Hello! I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems. I use the new version 22.00.11. [image: 1729594955632-zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg]

Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows

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?

@ProUser: 1. I have encrypted a file resulting in *.pae 2. entered a wrong password when trying to open it 3. a message opened saying just that 4. I input a password again (do not know whether it was correct this time) 5. the name of the file disappeared from the left screen 6. clicking into the left screen resulted in the random opening of blue rectangulars, etc and PA became totally unresponsive what kind of pae file is it? zip, etc? How are you opening it? We tried to reproduce it but it works fine, so more details needed.

this is not what it should do as if you press cancel it should cancel the job its on thats why people press cancel. if it has to finish what its doing then it is not cancel but finish. if you are adding a large file say 2gb to an archive in your explination you have to wait for that file to be compressed before it can be canceled even though you might not want the file in the archive after all. cancel in my opion should mean what it sayes it should cancel/ terminate the job its on and preserve what it has already done. What does everyone else think.

@watcher248: Well I was thinking that when you create a zip file with Word or OpenOffice or excell etc, that the extensions reflect the program used is that incorrect? Yes, that is incorrect - “Word or OpenOffice or excell etc” don’t create Zip files! They create documents (.doc ; .xls etc). Archive programs (like PA) create Zip files. So as an example use Word to create a file “example.doc” or “example.rtf” etc. use PA to compress/archive this as using ZIP format “example.zip” (or you can rename to “example.doc.zip” / “example.rtf.zip”) And/or use PA to encrypt this :- “example.pae” (or you can rename to “example.doc.zip.pae” / “example.rtf.zip.pae”) Then use PA to open example.pae; input password extracts “example.doc” / “example.rtf” (The un-zipping is handled transparently).

I noticed a slight change in speed. It opens just a bit faster. It closed much faster than before. With previous betas I could see the ribbbon collapsing item by item in a fast series of flickers. Thats been resolved.

Optimized 7-Zip + Solid = ???

Optimized works by filtering extensions that it thinks are better for lzma/ppmd. Those text files are then, obviously, put together in the same solid block. It is not mutually exclusive, whatsoever - they actually work quite well together and thats reccomended usage (with solid and optimized together).

Just a minor UI request. Can we get a large FTP button instead of the 16x16 size? Some how I spend too much time looking for it and its right in front of me :rolleyes: I also wouldnt mind a large EMail button. Maybe it can be made optional to choose button sizes?

@spwolf: please check with beta 4 now avail. through web update and let us know if this has been improved. thanks! It has gone back to the b2 behaviour. The app looks as it should, but the old style WinXP min, restore and max buttons in the upper right ‘breakthrough’ either fully or partially (top 10-20%) when I move my mouse cursor over them.
