    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.

        hi @Brian-Gregory

        couldnt reproduce this one unfortunately, could you please send us your settings to support and we will check with those. Could be a setting that causes it.

        thanks!

          Maybe it’s not really being re-enabled but when I go to ‘Options’ / ‘Configuration’ / ‘Queue’ in PA I find ‘Enable PowerArchiver 2019 Queue’ is ticked again.

            thanks @Brian-Gregory
            I was finally able to reproduce it. If the “Start PA starter” checkmark is left On after unchecking queue, queue will enable after restart.
            If unckecking Start PA Starter checkmark, Queue won’t reenable.

              Yes. Exactly as I explained in the first message.

                  Yep, noticed also that is enables again after checking and unchecking it in the configuration menu.

                    Every time I reboot my PC I find that PA 2019 Queue is re-enabled. I like it disabled but with PA Starter still loaded at login time and showing in the tray area.

                    you guys are overthinking it :)

                    This option is always on when PA Starter is running, it does not mean that queue is used, just that it could be used if you chose to do so.
                    Its is useful because it lets you start PA Starter easily from config when you click on it first time.

                      @spwolf What’s so damn hard about labelling the tick boxes correctly?

                      You refused to fix this before with earlier version.

                      Also if the tick box labelled ‘Enable PowerArchiver 2019 queue’ actually controls the PAStarter icon then what on earth does the tick box labelled ‘Start PowerArchiver 2019 Starter when my computer starts’ do???

                      I think you’ve got so used to the totally screwed up illogical way this works that you’ve actually come to believe that it makes sense!!

                          Maybe… Enable PA 2019 Queue starts Starter when you check it (it asks for it)… but it will not start Starter at computer restart unless you check Start… box.
                          Reason for this is for people not have to look for starter in Program Files folder when they want to see what is it.
