    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.

        I saw the second error (interface not registered) after updating a PA 9.51 to PA 9.60b1 - but I had not rebooted.

        After rebooting, PA 9.60b1 is working fine.

        what OS are you using?

          yea, I was using the “bunnies” skin that I love so much :)

          so, spwolf, what’s your advice about how to proceed?

          thank you

            try deleting the skin that you were using? If not, you can uninstall it and install it again, which will delete the registry keys…

            thanks!

            p.s. what OS?

                I think restart is the most important step here, so please restart your computer when installation tells you so!

                  I always did, if you read my previous posts.

                  anyway, uninstalling/reinstalling PA did the trick

                  can I apply my bunny skin again, or you think there could be problems?

                      WinXP SP2.

                      Note that I did not consider the error message I saw to be a bug - the update told me that I had to reboot, but I generally ignore those messages unless I run into problems because reboots are often not really necessary for many products - the install process is just being overly conservative.

                      However, if you can workaround the need to reboot, obviously that would be a plus!

                        Did you install PA in same folder as before or in new folder? Did you keep old version installed?

                        I noticed one case where installer would not register skin dlls until reboot, but in that case PA would have tell you that you cant install until reboot and you would have to delete your registry key for pending renames, which is probably not what you did?

                        thanks,

                          I just installed the beta over the existing install (I’m wreckless sometimes). No problems - it told me to reboot, but I didn’t (wreckless…) and it gave the interface registration error when I tried to start PA. After a reboot I tried again, and everything is working fine.

                            If you mean “Rabbit XP” then that is a toolbar and not a skin, so…
