    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.

      @Mr_Scary:

      I went ahead and made a video of the issue.
      It is only CD specific, no issues with DVD.
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XaimFV-Do0

      Also the mounted drive does NOT seem to work with games that require a DVD in the drive to play. I have to actually put the DVD in to get it to work. I have even tried renaming the drive to D:/ but still does’nt work.

      I forgot to mention that when selecting SPTD, I do get a dialog, but drive does not appear.

      Also that others are doing this and having the same isuues.

      when it comes to playing game DVD’s, PAVD doesnt have any DRM avoidance, so if particular DVD has DRM you wont be able to play that game.

      The best thing for fixing the CD issue would be to PM us the example file (if you can find it on torrents or somewhere), so we can reproduce it here.

        Only 1 game I need the CD for, and that’s OK, I can live with puting it in, I dont play that much anyway.

        The main reason was for 1 game my Brother has BF2, and we fixed the issue with that one, he had not updated the game, and that fixed issue ther, no DVD required to play.

        Lastly, the CD issue, it does this with CDs, CDRs etc… so I doubt having the CD would recreate the issue, as I believe my problem is with all CDs

          I tried maximize from taskmanager, and I got fullscreen transparent window with title bar only (PowerArchiver 2011 ImageGrabber not responding)

          Note. I used even a different CDR, different brand even SONY CD-R supremas 700MB, PNY 700MB, SONY CD-R, Memorex, as well as the Retail Game CD

          Note, I even tried to disable the DVD drive in device manager,
          Device manager became not responding.

          I was able to get the error message,

              I appreciate the help all…

              I’ve been using Powerarchiver since way back when it was called something else, Powerzip maybe ?? cant remeber like 90’s, anyway, this is not causing me real issues, as the DVD ISO does work…

              When I get some free time, I will try it out on a couple different computers…

              Hope I’ve been of some help…
              Let me know if there is anythng else I can test on my end…

              Thanks…

                    It did not solve the issue on my PC,
                    Samsung Superwritemaster SH-223Q cannot update firmware (*)
                    Things that may be causing the issue:I’m using RAID 0 x2 on JMB363
                    System is 3-Way SLI (Doubt this is a problem)

                    HOWEVER:

                    I cannot recreate the issue on several other computers
                    Intel G41 running Windows 8 64-Bit,
                    HP DV6-2155DX Laptop Winows 7 64-bit, the CD to ISO file was quick and without issue…

                    So this issue is on my gaming rig only, it may be the
                    Samsung Superwritemaster Model: SH-223Q, and for some reason I cannot update the firmware from SB02 to ST02, I even reverted it back to SB00 with no avail. and still cannot update to ST02.

                    Sorry for the trouble everyone,
                    Next I am going to install a new DVD-ROM or blu-ray and see if the issue still persists…

                    Thanks for all the help…

                      yes, but it should work regardless of the drive :-).

                      After we finish up with beta, we would like to send you an debug version to capture logs so we can send them to our burner guys.
