    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

    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
    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.

      First off very nice product.

      I am running Vista Ultimate and PA2006 build 9.64.01.
      When extracting ISO files, all files extracted are capped at exactly 20kb. The file and directory structure is intact.

        did you try any other .iso file? There might be some incompatibility with specific iso file you tried?

        I am not sure if there should be any reason for Vista specific issue.

        thanks,

          I have tried several ISO’s. MSDN Microsoft downloads, iso images from redhat etc.
          All extract will same issue.
          I can use another archive program and it will extract fine.
          Very odd.

                    Hi,

                    I’m using final PA2007 on vista, and I have exactly the same problem: files extracted from ISO or NRG files are limited in size to 20 Kb… REALLY REALLY bad!

                    I buy powerarchiver and I’m a very happy user from long, but what a deception now ! I hope it’ll be fixed soon!

                      MS ISO’s are changed so they wont work with PA’ ISO features… they are not normal ISO files.

                        I have the same problem with nrg files (nero cd images)… maybe it’s not a problem of ISO type?
                        Also, I used winiso to extract files without problems…

                        Thx for the answer

                          they are all very similar formats… WinISO will of course have much better support, since that is the whole point of application…

                            As I was very surprised about this ISO format changes, I decided to reinstall an XP and the 2006 version of PA. And no problem anymore to extract the SAME iso file… I also reinstalled PA2006 on vista… Bad news: the files are again limited to 20 Kb size… VERY VERY strange

                              Just updated to PA version 10.00.36. The ISO problem is still an issue.
                              I also noticed that if you open the ISO in PA, the explorer view shows the files, directories and the correct file sizes.
                              Just doens’t seem to extract the file completely

                                        those iso files have different format - UDF, so we need to add that to our iso support…

                                          I understand the idea of different ISO format, but it’s not a problem of format here: the same iso used with the same version of powerarchiver is working fine on XP and not on vista…
