    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.

    Open source

    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
    MerowingerM Merowinger
    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).

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus.

    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?

      Hey there, i’m new here, but i’m posting because i just downloaded the trial version of powerarchiver 2007. Problem now is that my computer is acting really strangely.

      Everytime i run powerarchiver 2007, my computer goes into a Blue Screen of Death, and my whole system resets. I’ve tried running it in Safe Mode however, and it works.

      My guess now is that perhaps there is a conflict with my other software running at the time… But i only have my firewall, ZoneAlarm Pro and my anti-virus, BitDefender v10 running. Apart from those i can’t see anything else that might be causing this. Any insight?

      I’ve tried reinstalling over 5 times but i can’t get it working, so i have to stick to 2006 for the moment :( the gui for 2007 looks sweet though >.>

      EDIT: Well, i’ve tried powerarchiver 2007 on my other laptop, and seems like the same thing is happenning. My guess would be that there is some software incompatibility since that laptop also runs similar software…

          please email us via support form above, we are trying to find out what is the cause of the issue. We got 5-6 reports so far.

          It doesnt seem to be the issue with external software so far, but email us and so we can get more info.

          thank you

            I’ve sent my error report in. I’m quite stunned though, what else could be causing the error if not for 3rd party programs.

            Considering other users might have gotten it to work on their systems, i think its safe to say its a conflicting software issue.

            I’m running XP Service Pack 2 Professional btw. I’m pretty sure that no one else atm runs XP SP1, and that if XP has issues with it, so would Vista, considering its a mess at the moment

              It is never that simple. We are trying to get several reports together to make sense of it and narrow down possible cause, so help is greatly appreciated.

              I wish someone has reported it before final version though, we had several hundred thousands downloads of beta versions and nobody reported anything similar, althought it should have happened at that point. People always assume it will get fixed, somehow :D

                yeah, i was fairly shocked that a final release would be one with such a major bug. Oh well, I trust in the PA staff to get it fixed anyway :) you guys are an awesome bunch.

                EDIT: I was keeping myself in contact with the support staff of PA, and they did some debugging with me. Managed to churn out an exe which doesn’t crash my system, so i guess you guys can expect an updated release coming out soon :D
