    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

    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.

      Is there any file limit in zip or PA?

      The most important folder has 106000 files and 37 GB.

      When I try to backup that folder, PA hangs and the log is empty…

        as I said before, check destination folder in ftp settings… it is ~, remove that completly and try again.

        There is no file limit in Zip/7zip, but backing up 37 GB of files will take huge amount of time, both first to the disk and then to the ftp.

        I dont think PA hangs, it it building file list for 106000 files… Just leave it on.

            Backups didn’t even start. How can I check if the scheduler is working? Is the scheduler just working if I am logged in? As soon as I logged in PA started.

            I also have another problem. PA stops with an error message of no space left or file access forbidden. There is more than enough space left on the device. I also tried to use another disk. Same issue here.

              Error writing to a file.

              Possible reasons: Disk full or no write permissions.
              Please check if you have permissions to write to this folder.

              Vista users:
              In Microsoft Vista, writing to certain folders is not allowed (i.e. C:\Program Files).
              You will need to start PowerArchiver as Administrator. If you are extracting files you
              can use drag and drop from PowerArchiver main interface to extract files to that folder.

                This might help with the scheduler thing…

                Task Scheduler failed to start “\blabla.pbs” task for user “blablub\Administrator”. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943645.

                  as to the task scheduler - edit the task, and make sure your username and password is entered in the task scheduler properly - that is the only way task will start without you logged in (i assume that is the issue)…

                      is this one of the time backup and later you will be using incremental backups for only changed files?

                        I always want to use full backups. Have bad experiances with incremental backups.
                        In a first step I used zip as suggested… I will see tomorrow.

                        I also set the password as you mentioned.

                        Thank you!

                                  you are still trying with 7z :).

                                  Download final release from download page or via Web Update.

                                  If you want to use 7zip, try using Normal setting which takes up a lot less memory. Try with Zip as well.

                                  How many files/folders are you compressing in total?

                                    This was what I was trying to say. i used zip and it still didn’t work. Even with final version…

                                    Not so much… Something like 7GB, 8 Folders… I always use the normal setting… Never tried full or incremental.

                                      above error is 7zip error not zip.

                                      Check compression - make sure it is Normal, not Ultra/Max (not backup type, compression strenght).

                                          ok… but I will do some final test. I just right clicked and said create 7zip. At the same time I do right click an create zip.

                                          We’ll see how far I come…

                                          If this doesnt work I will send you the pbs file.
