    Website ideas
    D davidsplash
    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.

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

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL Luxor
    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
    MerowingerM Merowinger
    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
    W wilsonp
    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?
    C cmmpc
    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 davidsplash
    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 TheAndyMac
    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 davidsplash
    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?

      Can anyone duplicate this error by following the exact steps

      1. Open Powerarchiver

      2. Click the Open Archive Button within the Home Menu and open an archive.

      3. Click Options and Configuration

      4. Within the View Tab, Select “View Archive Folders Bar” Then “OK”

      5. Close PowerArchiver using the “X” Bar on the top right corner of PA.

      The error message box containing the following message should appear.

      POWERARC.EXE - Application Error

      The Instruction at “0x00000000” referenced memory at “0x00000000”. The memory could not be “read”.

      Click on OK to terminate the program
      Click on CANCEL to debug the program

      You can follow this exact same process but instead of closing the application using the “X” close it using the “Close Archive” Cross in top left menu of PA 2007.

            I suppse this has something to do with archive using it - what type of archive you are using (ZIP, 7-ZIP, …)? Does this happends with other formats. Can you send us Registry snapshot of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver?

                  can you save your registry, zip it and send it to support @ conexware. com

                  Save key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver

                  That way we will be able to have exact settings you have and we can try it out here.

                    Hi PA Crew,

                    I am still experiencing this same issues on more than one PC,

                    My Work PC
                    My Home Workstation
                    And both of my Laptops

                    All of which Have

                    MS Windows XP SP2
                    AMD Athlon Processor 32bit and 64bit

                    I have yet tried it in Vista but when my licence comes through I will check it.

                    But again if I follow the following steps the error message will apear.

                    1. Open PA
                    2. Click on Show PA Bar
                    3. deselect then reselect do this a couple of times then close PA Using the Red X on the far right.

                    I have goverment erased my harddrive and installed XP Pro SP2 from scracth then updated everything via Windows Update once complete I installed a fresh PA 2007 Beta 6 and it still happened.

                      1. Open PA

                      … I installed a fresh PA 2007 Beta 6 and it still happened.

                      I can’t reproduce either (Beta 6).
                      Some checks -
                      These steps are simply PA window with no archive open?

                      <close pa=“” using=“” the=“” red=“” x=“”>
                      So you are using “Classic Toolbar”? (as neither Modern display has a Red X). Do you have any skins active?

                      <click on=“” show=“” pa=“” bar=“”>
                      I suppose you mean “Show Folders Bar” button next to “Desktop” dropdown with “Explorer View Mode” enabled?

                      <do this=“” a=“” couple=“” of=“” times=“”>
                      i.e. More than once - so five times should be enough to reproduce?
                      By the way - Does it matter if you finish with Folders Bar showing or not?</do></click></close>

                        I attach a crash log created by Inspector IIXII if that is useful see
                        “http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=432”

                        • from my checks above:
                          No archive open.
                          Classic Toolbar (default skin).
                          “Show Folders Bar” button clicked five/six times - ending with Folders bar active.

                          Yep! thats the one! However, I expereince that sometimes just doing it the once! eg select then deselect instead of several times.
