    End of Powerarchiver

    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.

      For PA 2006 they change te registration system.

      If you allready purchard PA in the past you can get it from the shop on this site

      Well I just found this software, and I like to give it a try. So I would like to try the beta since the final version don’t support ISO. And I’m not going to purchase a license until I have tried the application.

      And in beta software you can often find a beta key, that works during the beta period.
      So you don’t have limited/stript version and no annoying stuff

          All functions are working as in purchased version. No limited-stript version. You can fully test ISO stuff without key.

            Yep, as I stated in earlier post everything works fine except… enter license key popup everytime I use the application. That is why I asked if there was any BETA key. So I don’t see this everytime.

            I now know that there is not a BETA key, so I leave it as it is, no more questions about this. :)

              if you buy a beta version you buy a full versiopn to the next version of pa.

              Just remember that.

              just remember the only archiver i pay for is powerarchiver as its the best and needs supporting thats why beta is the same as full version.

                I would never buy a license for any software that I’m beta testing, unless I know it’s right for me.

                  So wait for the final release and then download it’s trial version, test it for 30 days and then decide if you want to buy it…

                    Yes. That is what I’m planing to do, if this application works like it should. But my question from start was if there was any beta key, so I did not have to click on the “enter license key” popup

                        *** A BETA Key, during the BETA Test period. ***

                        Not for life. Unless you like to give me a key like that :)

                        EDIT: If I would like to not pay for the software, I can use a “internet key” (key found on the webb) Thats not the case here.

                          No, you can’t. There is no key on the web for PA 2006 (at least now)

                            Hehe I see that you have search for a key. Well I have not, I just assumed that there was keys on the web. Anyhow can we drop this issue now? I know that there is not any BETA key from you guys, and I also now know that there is no keys on the web ;)

                                reason we never have special free beta keys is that a. our software is always fully functional, b. our beta’s are very usable, so there wouldnt be many reasons to actually purchase PA :-))).

                                Anyway, I think this got settled, final is out soon and this thread is cllllooooooseeeed! thanks.
