    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

    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).

    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?

      When extracting a ISO normaly you see the iso file while it is extracting and at the end just click it but mine just disappears after extraction no warning.

        Sorry, but I have no idea what your problem is.
        Can you give a “step by step” description of what you are doing - trying to do?

        A link to the rar/iso file would also help.

        Also, which version of PA and which OS would be useful.

                Over 1GB is a strange size limitation - and not easy to find for doing quick tests.
                (2GB would make more sense - e.g. 16 bit limitations).

                Do you mean that you have a single rar archive (not split) which is over 1GB containing a single ISO file?
                Or is the ISO file itself over 1GB ?

                Is the problem only with ISO files inside RAR…
                or any RAR archive which is over 1GB…
                or only when RAR archive contains a file which is over 1GB?

                Do you know how the RAR was created (which version of RAR)?

                Exactly how are you trying to extract it in PA 9.5 beta 7?

                  Confirmed. I created a file FILE.ZIP using b7 and it was 1.2Gb, and then I try to extract it using b7, it extracted the content to… nowhere humm. The extacted folder and content is not to be found :)

                    Sorry, NOT confirmed here. :confused:

                    I tried with a Zip of a DVD - zip filesize 4.04 GB (4,345,357,872 bytes)
                    Then tried a zip containing two movie files - zip filesize 1.66 GB (1,784,405,346 bytes)
                    Then tried a ZIP file of 980MB.

                    All extracted with no problems in PA 9.5 beta 7.

                    Note: there was a “known” problem with PA not showing error message on insufficient disk space when using ZIP format, but this was fixed in PA 9.5 beta 7.
                    However, Atonement said he has 20 GB free (and is using RAR anyway) :confused:

                      I created a zip file (1.5GB-named test.zip) using Beta 7. I was able to unzip without any problems. I also tested the archive and it tested fine. I created 758MB (330files) archive and it also checked out fine.

                        I do not have a 1GB iso file. However I do have one 340MB iso.
                        So I made copies.

                        4 iso files -> RAR 1.29 GB (1,386,471,671 bytes)
                        “Extract to folder” via shell (using PA 9.5 beta 7)
                        No problems encountered.

                        My drive C: only has 1.5 GB free but my “working” drive D: has 20GB free - (Note: I activated PA “use current folder as temp” to avoid possible free disk space problem on Drive C:).

                                  Yes, but the problem is that Windows cannot handle files of this size.
                                  So the error message should be from Windows - not PowerArchiver.

                                    I’m not 100% sure, but I believe that what happens is that when a program tries to write past the 4GB file limit on a FAT32 partition the API returns an ERROR_DISK_FULL result to the calling program.

                                    This often leads to a confusing error message (since there can be more than 4GB available on the partition), so PA may want to present it as “The disk is full or the file is too large for the destination file system.” Or something.

                                    But in any case, it should not fail silently.
