    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.

      i tried the same and it worked fine, so it might be a bit more specific that just large file.

      Can you create an screenshot of error in PA please?

                        Also, please try creating same archive without spanning feature. So we can see if whole - big archive is OK for the beginning.

                            same for me the zip does not work. it all makes PowerArchiver say unusable.

                            french version. (windows 7 64bits RC1 and WIndows vista 64bits SP2) I have two licence

                            That’s the beta phase reserved for the English and German.
                            we are left with a final unusable. awesome. just reinstall the older version 2009

                            and more still no full version 64bits
                            on this point, the developer 7zip should be more talented

                            really disappointed :mad:

                            you have to explain what exactly does not work.

                                can you try selecting and compressing only several of these files, maybe it is some specific file/filename that is causing it to happen and that could help us isolate the issue.

                                I have tested with 50 GB archive and all went well. So it has to be a bit more specific.

                                thank you!

                                  I have more info, but no specifics that I feel confident will help.

                                  I have tried zipping and splitting large sets of files, but none cause the problem except those from my VMware sets of files, and not all of those.

                                  The problem appears to be related to zipping up large files that when finished, end up being near the end of the split boundary.

                                  Example, I had eleven vm files that were all nearly 2GB in size. If I zipped them in dictionary name order, I could repeat the error, but if I renamed them and zipped in a different order, the problem did not exist. File name length seems to have nothing to do with the error.

                                  Does any of this make any sense?

                                        Yes, creating a zip with the same files without spanning works fine.

                                            would it be possible for us to download those original files? Only way we can reproduce it (and fix it).

                                            Maybe try with less files but same folder (smaller file size) and see if that works or not, if we can get smaller sample it will be easier.

                                            thanks
