    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.

        Windows XP (eXtra Pathetic) Pro is the last OS I will buy from M$ , I certainly won’t be buying Vista. The continuing “forced upgrades” will no doubt mean that even XP will not be supported one day. Funding the Gates empire in not on my agenda anymore, and am more than happy with the testing of Ubuntu (Linux desktop), even on a P2-350, it’s way better than anything M$ can put out. ;)

        Ubuntu is rubbish, go Gentoo. I dual boot gentoo and vista x64, but vista is mainly used just for games.

          Why would I change from Ubuntu to Gentoo, when I’m quite happy with Ubuntu ?? :D

                    I just purchased a new desktop with Vista. What a difference a year makes. I remember when I purchased my laptop a year ago with Vista, I had programs that didn’t work quite right, lots of driver issues.

                    Now, the new computer setup without any problems. No driver issues, all programs have release updates to work with Vista.

                    Maybe there is still hope for Vista.

                              unless there are some specific issues with some hardware that you have, Vista is now better than XP.

                              I just got new laptop with XP installed and Vista is actually faster than XP now.

                                I have a very beefie laptop that can handle Crysis at full settings and Vista runs slower than XP. Every game runs slower on vista than it does on XP, their is no comparison.

                                  …Vista is now better than XP.

                                  Vista is not “now better”. It always has been BETTER. There were/are problems with some applications which also didn’t work under the User Account in xp, but this is a question to their developers.
                                  Windows Vista is really the most secure and most powerful OS! And it is normal that new software requires new hardware!

                                    yep… quite serious. For applications, it is faster.

                                    Gaming is different, depends on drivers, but I believe that latest set of drivers from nvidia are now faster on Vista.

                                      I will never buy Vista for the simple fact that an Operating System is suppose to give the user control over the hardware. But in Vista, it’s all pretty and stuff. There is an Opensource Windows (XP-like interface) called ReactOS that I’m keeping my eyes peeled on. If you google it you will find it. I’m not here to advertise it or spam it :P
