    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.

        Just tried it.

        Still no luck.

        Not even if I set the message to html

        Is there a chance that the file it wants to insert is missing?

        If so, could you resend it, and tell me in which folder I should place it.

        For the record. I use EZDetach, which automatically detaches attachments, saves them to my hard drive, and then creates a link to them within the email (keeps the PST file smaller).

        I suppose that might be the culprit, but I don’t see how. It only messes with attachments and I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the help file was actually inserted at the end of the message.

        Moreover, I have never before had a problem receiving an email, not even one with ten attachments.

        Still, since it might be implicated, I thought I should mention it.

            First, I really don’t see any reason to think it is that since I often get multiple attachments.

            Second, I cannot just turn it off. And I would lose far too many settings to uninstall it.

            Sorry.

              It attaches the html help file to the message… maybe EZDetach does influence it. We will try on our end to see how it works with EZDetach.

              Only other option (in the future) would be to add text to the message body, but that could be messier and we cant explain as well…

                I am fairly sure it is not ezdetach. It only works on incoming files.

                I am guessing the help file may be missing.

                Could you either send it to me, of just give me the name of the file called by that option, then I can create my own.

                  Help file can not be missing, it is built inside the program.

                  Maybe it is some combination of settings?

                  What version of Windows and Office are you using?

                  thanks

                      PAOP settings are located here:
                      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PAOutlook

                      Can you go to regedit.exe, to that key, export it, zip it and email it to support? Then Mili will try if it works with same settings on our own test computers.

                      Does the actual compression work? ( PAOP actually compressing attachments?)

                        I just saw the second half of your request.

                        It compressed the files just fine. Well, that’s now quite right. It compresses PDF files just fine; balks a bit at docx files.

                          There is an filter setting which by default doesnt compress docx (as docx are zip files so they cant be compressed futher).

                              Received the reg file, thanks for that.

                              tested with sent reg settings and received the help file just fine using Paop.

                              Have you installed and tried using the beta version provided earlier?

                              the help file is simply attached to the email, when acitavated, when PAOP is used.
                              If you think it could possible make a difference, try disabling EZDetach and see if it works then, just for testing purposes.

                                I am using the latest PAOP beta you send (perhaps 2.1?).

                                As I explained, there is no way to disable EZDetach and I cannot afford to uninstall it and lose all the scripts I have written for it.

                                But (I now realize) I really shouldn’t have mentioned this. It’s a red herring. It only affects incoming files, and I later saw that the attachment wasn’t there in the outgoing file.

                                I will just do without.

                                Sorry for the hassle.

                                      One thing we like is for users to mention things, even if it becomes a dead link! because it might just spark a future feature or solution, not to mention something who may experience similar issues can read this and get the answer they may need.

                                        I ended up uninstalling PAOP.

                                        I discovered something that may be worrisome.

                                        I use Office 2007. When PAOP was installed, Outlook would lock up (“Not responding”) 2-3 times a day. It never occurred to me that PAOP was the culprit.

                                        However, it has not happened once since I deleted PAOP.

                                        I may just be lucky. Or perhaps PAOP does have some untoward side effects on Outlook 2007.

                                        Sorry.

                                          it could be combination of plugins… PAOP has been used for years now, never got that complaint.

                                          what other plugins do you use (other than ezdetach)? We will try to install them on our Win7 with Office 2007 and see what happens.
