    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.

        @Tyjen007 @Luxor We have been playing with this lately, it should be a focus for one of the future builds. Until then, please check Shell options, and uncheck Enable Archive Hints and Enable Archive Property Sheets. That seems to be causing it, but it is hard to catch for now.

        Please uncheck those and lets see what happens. Thank you!

          Not helped by being so random I would imagine.

          I think I’ve mostly noticed it happening after I have been using PA and my external usb drive at the same time. When I click on the usb icon in the notification area to remove the drive, that’s when it occurs.

              Not so far, will probably have a better idea if it helps after a few days of use.

                    good to know… next update will have these disabled in the code + soon enough I expect us to have debug dlls that give us hopefully enough information. Thanks!

                      Just applied the directions will reboot and give it a few days testing before further comments. random crashing has been ongoing, hopefully this fix is the answer. Also of note in my case, “enable archive hints” was enabled so I disabled it. “enable archive property sheets” was already unchecked. So at present only “use explorer shell extensions” and enable explorer preview" are left enabled.

                        @Tyjen007 please check patchbeam, fast ring update and you will get latest release - .55. It has these disabled internally, and lets see what happens. Thank s a lot!

                          Does that mean if we selected them that they would do nothing, or does it mean that if you have them selected it will deselect them?

                            It won’t do anything… Sometimes when you uncheck it, parts of code are still working since it is part of same dll. So this is truer off.

                                        we had report from @keith via email that we could be reproduced and could be similar to this… hopefully it is. Spent whole day troubleshooting it, we are getting closer but still not fixed. Maybe new build with fix tomorrow? We will see. Thanks for reports.

                                          I now run windows explorer option “launch folder windows in a separate process”, this helps, since the fault is random. Now it does not crash all “windows explorer” windows that are open, just the process “window” that it does crash in.
                                          Also I went for and are now using Windows 10 pro 15048.rs2_release. 170228-1522, mainly to see if PowerArchiver behaved with no issue in newer build. As it stands I have had few crashes but not as many as running the existing version in general use.

                                          I’ll post crash info if it starts being too regular again.

                                            we managed to reproduce one issue even with latest build. So we have made some changes and they will be available in next build. Lets see if it crashes ever again. We are waiting for few other things to come in and it will be published then. Thanks!
