    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.

      @andy2004:

      if u look at my previous post spywolf i added the webpage to Upack, there are 2 gui’s for it, winUpack is standard and UPO is for running it through the numbers, to get the best size, itstead of doing it manually
      for the 7-zip dat file, it would be 3,47 with a filesize of 202924 bytes for the smallest size, talking of filesizes, wouldnt it be possible for you to modify a sfx file already made as small as possible without compression, add info to that.

      you have to consider that we have to have full interface. When we modified 7zip sfx, we couldnt add all the features we wanted, without size going up. And more important was that we found out that modified sfx was slower than using dll, which is why we moved to dll.

      It is mostly for distributing files that are large - larger than 10-15 MB compressed, so extra 150kb for interface doesnt really matter…

        we did try upack, but for reason that escapes me now, we decided un upx implementation… could be false positives or some incompatibility, not sure anymore.

                Not really, it is hard to expect anything but mostly good answers on PowerArchiver forums, since people here like…PowerArchiver:-).

                It is hard to expect that people who visit daily dont like it :-).

                Okay, you forced me to reply. I’ve been using PA 2006 for a few months and I love it! I was a registered user of that other software (initials W.Z.) but they ticked me off by asking me to pay for the most recent upgrade.

                PA 2007 seems to work just fine (save for a few bugs I’m sure will be worked out before final release) but I really don’t like the new interface. It’s too “busy”. But as long as I can use the “classic” interface, I’ve got no problem. Of course, I’m still using the “Windows Classic” style on my XP machine, too…

                  Hi!

                  Great job guys!

                  However there are two things that annoy me.
                  Why is it not possible to cascade the context menu like in PA2006?
                  Some Buttons are to small for the German translation.

                    sure it is… you just have to do via Add to submenu button…

                      Now I saw the button. :o
                      I didn’t know it was this button because some parts of the text are missing in the German translation. ;)
