    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.

      1. Write a java program to create a zip which does contains 1 or 2 files.
      2. Compile and Run that program
      3. Navigate to the folder where the zip has been created
      4. Double click that newly created zip file. Now it will show the files which are in the zip file.
      5. Double click that file which is inside that newly created zip file.
      6. The file is not opening.

          Hi,

          I do not have link to send that file. If I have your mail id then i can forward that zip file to you.

            If it happens when zipping a single file then could you just attach an example ? (zip less than 100Kb is OK).

              What kind of file (fileextension) are you trying to extract from the zip file? You need to provide more information because “the file is not opening” isn’t saying anything.

                Problem is in path storing… this was also reported to support.

                You should not save path as C:.… rather just save folder and not drive letter.

                    I ignored the "". but still i am not able to open the file. One thing i captured is, extracted path is different if i extract.

                    Previously i did not ignore the "", on that, the extracted path will be different. For example, if the file is "C:\sample\one.zip, if i extract one.zip (if it contains 2.txt) it will create the folder named ‘2’ and it will put the 2.txt inside that folder ‘2’.

                    After ignore the "", if i extract it creates folder called ‘one’ inside that we can find the file ‘2.txt’

                    Thanks and regards

                              When you are in the editor of writing a new message, there’s a small “paper clip” button to the right of the “Smilies” button. Click on the “paper clip” button to bring up a new Window, where you can upload the zip file.

                                  He meant that if you need to open files from within the archive then your compression utility (java program) should NOT store the drive/root information as part of the path.

                                  So instead of storing as “C:\Export\2.txt” store it as “\Export\2.txt” or just “Export\2.txt”.
