    End of Powerarchiver

    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.

      While I’m not a “Power User” because I don’t post on these forums much I have been a PowerArchiver user for years and am very tech savvy. PowerArchiver is also one of the programs I use every single day multiple times a day….so if you can overlook my forum title I’d make a great tester for you.

      I’ve beta-tested many versions of Windows (Win 98, 98 SE, Win2K, etc.) as well as more fun beta testing testing opportunities like Diablo II & Total Annihilation - my name is even in the TA manual.

      Tech specs if you’ve read this far:
      Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
      Intel i7 930
      Radeon 5850
      6 GB DDR3

      I run my system hard, too…40 tabs open in Firefox & a full taskbar of 15-20 programs running at all times is the norm for me so if you need ‘stress testing’ I may be your guy.

      And oh yeah…I’ve got a fervent desire for PowerArchiver to become even better than it already is. My friends are already tired of me telling them how superior it is to what they are using & tired of me proving it to them. ;D

          Hi, If possible please could you add me to the alpha testers.

          I generally test a lot of betas, enjoy using such products and informing the devs of any issues I find.

          I have Windows 7 *64 on my main PC, testing PC, and Windows 7 *86 on my testing laptop and also use Sun VM.

          Many Thanks.

          Windows 10 *64 - Latest TP (Fast)

            meh….I don’t like to create huge essays…all they do is reassure my extreme awesomeness and make others jealous :cool:

            Long story short, I was a betatester for Battlefield 2142 and Universe at War. I’m extremely nick-picky, and will make comments about anything no matter how small the problem is. I’m a GUI freak, also.

            Did I mention I’m also a Professional license owner?

                Not that standard license owners wont, just that price for the Pro will seem like quite an steal ;-)
