    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?
    C
    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.

      Upgraded to Beta 2 (50.11.37); PA started in Modern View.
      Switched to Classic View - then Switched back to Modern and when PA restarted (automatically) the Quick Access Toolbar was missing.

      Uninstalled PA and rebooted. Installed Beta 2 and selected Modern View, no other options changed (running unregistered) - QAT is present.
      Closed PA, restarted and switched to Classic.
      Closed PA, restarted and switched to Modern - Quick Access Toolbar is now missing.
      The right-click option to select above or below Toolbar is available and either option can be selected.

      Note: Still running unregistered.

        I can’t confirm the problem above…
        QAT working fine for me following TBGBe’s steps but I am using registered PA.

          but I am using registered PA.

          So am I - I only tried reinstall without registering to be as default as possible.

          Regarding my problem, with the Modern active (no QAT) I tried “set Defaults”

          • PA restarted/switched to Classic view :eek:

          Switched back to Modern, but still no Q.A.T. :(

            strange indeed Terry…
            I’ve tried every variation I can think of to confirm this bug but I can’t.

            stupid question but when uninstalling did you clean registry entries and C:\Windows\Prefetch of all traces?
            it’s just a practice I have when uninstalling anything these days…as you can see I’m clutching at straws here…:(

                Yes, but I have had it before - with the restarting problem. So before beta 2.

                No. I believe PA configuration is held under single Reg Key. So uninstall and reboot is all that is needed.
                I have never touched Windows/Prefetch :confused:

                  Ok.
                  Just for clarification :
                  The QAT was present after performing the upgrade; and after uninstalling / reinstalling.
                  It disappears after the skin switch (Modern / Classic / Modern) and stays gone after further switches and restarts.
                  I can’t find a way to make it reappear except for uninstalling / reinstalling.
