    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?

    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.

        Richard my reply wasn’t in response to your statement in your post…twas just a general statement…sorry if you thought I was correcting you.

        :) I know buddy, no harsh feelings.

        I’ve had a hell of a week, Helped save a half a mill account from leaving my employer because of a fracking idiot account manager. Yet didnt receive one thanks!

        Then ended up having to reload 2 months of Sales Records due too the Idiots in ashford not checking the data from depots, and after all that to top it off some noob decided to change a customer’s hierarchy structure that then duplicated statistics per customer and THEN sent off stats off to them thus the customer invoiced us Twice the amount for a contracted rebate, of which we then had to tell them it was an error.

        Just one of them weeks!

            To be fair, I don’t think it is a design problem. Just something that is not “out of date”!

                        http://www.mediamonkey.com/ - too dark for my taste, but very good navigation structure, which is pretty similar to what PA would need
                        http://www.techsmith.com/ - design is a bit old school too, but the way they structure their navigation menu is pretty good.
                        http://www.helium-music-manager.com/ - pretty good site
                        http://www.piriform.com/ - nice and clean design

                              Avast did a very similar thing, now there site looks like this;

                              www.avast.com

                              its clean, fresh, colourful and has both Home & Business tabs, including community section.

                              The about us section also great, they give a clear friendly and pro aproach making people feel like they know the developers even more.

                              Because PowerArchiver is so focused and directional with their customers I would certainly suggest more detail on the developer’s, owners and possibly key Testers etc.

                              It also has History, something always nice to know when considering buying from companies you dont know much about.
