    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.

    Open source

    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue: [image: 1736325038084-screenshot-2025-01-08-082909.png] [image: 1736325038147-screenshot-2025-01-08-082935.png] [image: 1736325038176-screenshot-2025-01-08-082953.png] Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 OS build 26100.2605

    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?

          it is likely whats causing the issue :)
          Yes, please do send it!

          I suspect that Ivan had to change some part of it for new toolbar and it is causing problems now. It is very annoying :-)

              I will see with ivan tomorrow, but he mentioned today in first build that some setting had to be changed due to new toolbar code, it is possible that this is done on first run after install, and when you restore settings it messes it up… so it is good that you are using it this way, and that the issue could surface.

                  so due to some changes necessitated by upcoming 2017 release, language settings were left from 2017 portable version… result was that PA kept detecting language, changing it and restarting to apply but it was writing data into wrong registry key, hence infinite loop. Since we had 2017 version installed already, it worked fine internally, because all values were already there.

                  Simple problem, very annoying issue. New files are being uploaded right now, thanks everyone!
