    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.

    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?

    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).

    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?

      Yes, of course you did. But some users are still waiting for self-decrypting .pae files. ;)

      But I think it’s not only done with rewriting the shell extension. Even a 64bit shell extension has to check if the right-clicked file is an archive. So you have also to move your archiver libraries to 64bit too.

        Could you make 1 shell extension work in x64. It only has to work in the alphas. It doesn’t have to be in the final. I would like The extract to folder (name)

        Is very annoying to have to work from with in main window to extract….

          Hi!

          I hope 64 bit support will be available for PowerArchiver too soon.

          I understand that it involves some work to convert it, but I think you guys will make more and more people very happy with this. A very good way to go ahead of the competition!

          Besides converting the whole application to something 64 bit, I think it is possible to use the simple context menu options really simple with the use of command line switches. I know some people fixed it for WinRAR as you can see in this forum: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=311399&pid=585832076&st=0.

          Could you please instruct us Windows XP x64 people how to do such thing for PowerArchiver?

          Thanks in advance!

            The shell extension / context menu items of PowerArchiver are accessible from the 32-bits version of Windows Explorer by using the workaround described on http://www.extended64.com/blogs/bhpaddock/archive/2005/05/22/539.aspx.

            I do not know the exact implications from this, but it is usefull for tools like PowerArchiver, TortoiseCVS and others.

              Hopefully we will check it out soon enough so we can see if it is possible for it to work properly under 64bit…

              thanks for the tip.

                Any plans already to release a version with support for Windows XP 64-bit?

                There is a lot of talking about it on PlanetAMD. I am sure you win some new customers if
                64 bit support is implemented. WinZip doesn’t got it yet (but something called Squeez does). I only don’t want all that other stuff, I want Powerarchiver!
